Sounds From a Safe Harbour festival in Cork announces additions to 2025 lineup
Unique Limerick artist Bobby Fingers also makes his first appearance in Cork, after transforming himself from Mr Chrome of the Rubberbandits via a series of weird and wonderful videos on YouTube. Nobody is quite sure what the Fingers experience will involve, but we're told: "There will be a band. There may be some art. There will definitely be jokes. Maybe a book reading. No raffle."
Bobby Fingers.
This year's event is again headed up by Mary Hickson, with others on the curation team including actor Cillian Murphy, Bryce Dessner of The National, author Max Porter, and folklorist Billy MagFhlionn.
The usual emphasis on collaboration at the festival will again see various collaborations and impromptu sessions as part of the 37d03d ("PEOPLE") strand.
The fruits of a previous collaboration sparked by SFSH were heard with the recent release of A Dawning, the album by Olafur Arnalds and the late Cork musician Talos, aka Eoin French. The opening concert of the 2025 event at Cork Opera House is an already sold-out tribute to Talos.
The 2025 festival is also expanding its film strand, with details of that being announced early next week.
Meanwhile, Netflix has announced that the film Steve – a collaboration between two of the SFSH curators, Murphy and Porter – will open the Toronto International Film Festival in September before appearing on the streaming network later in autumn. An adaptation of the English author's book, Shy, it stars the Cork actor as a head teacher in a reform school.
Sounds from a Safe Harbour takes place in various venues in Cork from September 11-14. For full details and tickets, see soundsfromasafeharbour.com

Along with a pretty decorated list of TV and film appearances, the latest for the YouTuber was a guest appearance on the recent series of Britain's Got Talent when he stepped in for Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell on different occassions.

'World's most jealous woman' has husband take lie detector test every time
Feeling a pang of jealousy occasionally is a common human emotion, and it's not unusual for this to surface in romantic relationships from time to time. However, most individuals recognise that such feelings must be kept firmly in check, striving not to succumb to their jealous tendencies - they understand that without trust, their relationships lack the solid foundations needed for longevity. For Debbi Wood, though, managing these jealous impulses was a significant challenge. She earned the title of 'world's most jealous woman' during her appearance on This Morning in 2013, where she revealed her stringent rules for her husband, including requiring him to take a lie detector test every time he returned home. The idea originated from an offhand remark made by her husband Steve, who jokingly suggested he'd be willing to take such a test to demonstrate his fidelity when out and about. Debbi seized the opportunity, she shared on This Morning, and purchased a kit - noting that the couple lived quite a distance apart when they first started dating, which heightened her fears that Steve might be unfaithful. Steven and Debbi Wood (Image: Loughborough Echo) (Image: ITV) Debbi opened up about her insecurities in her relationship, which were exacerbated when she learned that Steve had seen someone else as they were starting to date. He argued that they hadn't agreed to be exclusive at the time, but Debbi admitted she became "resentful" due to this "slight deception". Her jealousy spiralled to such an extent that she would scrutinise Steve's bank statements and phone records. "Well, when you've got a good man, you're not going to let him go, are you?" Debbi justified her possessive actions. She even went as far as banning Steve from watching TV shows featuring women after becoming obsessed with the thought that he fancied a model in a razor advert. "One night, an advert for a women's razor came on television and I felt panicky thinking that Steve was eyeing the model up. The only thing that could put my mind at rest was banning him from watching any programmes that have women in them," Debbi confessed to MailOnline. Following their stint on This Morning, the couple dedicated time to improving their relationship. A year later, they returned to the show and reported significant progress. The routine lie detector tests they once used had become a rare occurrence, described by Steve as happening "once in a blue moon". He praised their partnership as "absolutely amazing" when Debbi managed to overcome her jealousy, which she attributed to a past "traumatic" relationship. "When we're not arguing about this, our relationship is absolutely amazing. I make her laugh in ways she's never laughed before. She makes me laugh in ways I've never laughed before," Steve shared about his marriage. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.
