Anthem Vinyl offering 'interesting new approach' to vinyl pressing for artists
Newly launched Anthem Vinyl, Ireland's only vinyl pressing plant, are offering an 'interesting new approach' to vinyl pressing for Irish artists. Born out of a shared love for vinyl and a deep respect for its craft, Anthem Vinyl was founded in 2024 by a team of passionate music industry and business professionals. Located just 30 minutes from Dublin, in Clane, County Kildare, the new pressing plant is embracing new technology, sustainability, and accessibility, ensuring that artists and fans can experience vinyl at its best. 'Obviously, a lot of Irish artists would be keen to have their physical music produced here in Ireland,' Anthem Vinyl founder Brian Kenny told the Irish Mirror. 'It's also very accessible, they can come here, visit the plant. We offer that anyone who's getting records pressed can come in and see it getting pressed, shoot some social content. 'We're building out a media room here where, if they want to shoot their own social media content in the room, listen to it on the Hi Fi, and sign copies of it.' Brian says by pressing locally in Ireland, clients benefit from faster lead times and lower shipping costs thanks to Ireland's unique position within the EU. 'It's that unique access that we have to the global market. Even though we will do everything we can to support Irish acts, we don't want to create the impression we're only supporting Irish acts either.' 'Because the Irish industry is not big enough to sustain this business or any pressing plant,' he added. 'It's probably mostly led by artists not having to go far afield, Irish in particular, to get their pressings. 'But we also think we can tick a box for UK and European-based artists to get their product out to the States in particular, or UK artists to get their products into mainland Europe.' With the addition of traditional pressing services, Anthem has also introduced Smart Vinyl, a forward-thinking innovation that pairs physical records with the digital world. 'It's a very early product. Declan O'Rourke's album was done; he's an early adopter of it,' he shared. 'It gives a great new level of engagement between an artist and a fan. That they have this content that's utterly unique to that particular album, that they bought that vinyl record. 'Then the artist, in turn, can have visibility of fans that are buying records and binder releases. And there's opportunities there for early concert ticket access or early new release access to fans that are showing loyalties to them. It's a very interesting kind of new approach to it.'

England smash six past Portugal at Wembley to set-up Spain showdown
AGGIE BEEVER-JONES SCORED a hat-trick in her first Wembley start for England as the Lionesses completed a 6-0 Nations League group stage rout of Portugal. The Chelsea forward led the line in place of the injured Alessia Russo, and fired the hosts in front in the third minute before clubmate Lucy Bronze nodded in a second less than two minutes later. Advertisement Beever-Jones struck twice more either side of Beth Mead's 29th-minute goal to hand England a 5-0 lead in the 33rd minute, and substitute Chloe Kelly added a sixth after the break. 21-year-old Beever-Jones is just the second Lioness to score a hat-trick at Wembley and third woman on record to have done so, after Mead and Italy's Carolina Morace. England's triumph ensures they are still in contention to advance to the autumn Nations League finals, but will need to beat group leaders Spain on Tuesday night to finish top of their group. The Euro 2022 champions shrugged off the shock international retirement of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Mary Earps during the week with an emphatic showing, this arguably the first game in which Chelsea's Hannah Hampton was unequivocally England's number one. Elsewhere, Germany joined already qualified France in the semi-finals with a 4-0 rout of the Netherlands, while Spain eased past Belgium 5-1. - Additional reporting from – © AFP 2025

Alcaraz stumbles but eventually squeezes into French Open last-16
REIGNING CHAMPION CARLOS Alcaraz stumbled his way into the last 16 of the French Open on Friday with a 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over Bosnian world number 69 Damir Dzumhur. Second seed Alcaraz broke twice in each of the first two sets and seemed to be cruising but a determined Dzumhur refused to roll over and pinched the third set. The 33-year-old Dzumhur had failed to get past the first round of qualifying at Roland Garros in his last four attempts, but he broke to open the fourth set and give Alcaraz greater cause for concern. Advertisement Alcaraz's frustration grew when three break points slipped beyond his grasp the very next game. He eventually got back on serve at 3-3 though before another break put him within sight of victory. The Spaniard couldn't close it out initially but then earned a pair of match points on Dzumhur's serve, finally getting across the line at the second attempt to end his rival's spirited effort. 'Today I honestly didn't enjoy it that much. I suffered quite a lot,' said a relieved Alcaraz. 'That's why doing a really good result in a Grand Slam is really difficult because you have to maintain a really high level for three to four hours.' Alcaraz said he had to dig deep after admitting his energy levels dropped after a dominant first two sets. 'It was really difficult for me to boost myself. I had to give everything I had inside me. In the end I'm just proud about getting the win.' Four-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz advances to face US 13th seed Ben Shelton for a place in the quarter-finals after picking up his 18th win in 19 matches on clay this season. Australian Open semi-finalist Shelton is one of four Americans still in the men's draw. He knocked out Italian qualifier Matteo Gigante in straight sets after receiving a walkover in the second round. – © AFP 2025
