Neil Young and Van Morrison at Malahide Castle: Decades on these voices have never sounded better

Neil Young Malahide Castle, Dublin ★★★★★ It would be remiss not to mention the special guest that prefaced Neil Young 's show at Malahide Castle in Dublin , since it was none other than Van Morrison. In what seemed like something of a fever dream, Morrison stomped his way through songs like Cutting Corners, Days Like This, and Crazy Jane on God with some verve. His voice can shift from confiding to testifying to growling in moments, and his referencing of poets from WB Yeats to WH Auden reminds us how seriously he takes language – all this while telling his stellar band to 'make it funky'. At one point he also tells them that it's 'endgame' and given that it's Morrison you might think he's referring to Beckett's absurdist tragicomic play, but instead he launches into Summertime in England, another contrarian move, given that it's summertime in Ireland, and as he slopes off the rain starts pouring down. Returning to the stage for an encore of Gloria, he takes us somewhere fundamental, reminding us of his ability to deal in 'not facts but truths' to borrow from Lester Bangs. Then he is gone as mysteriously as he arrived, wheezing his harmonica all the way. READ MORE Many will recall seeing Morrison and Young in the Martin Scorsese-directed The Last Waltz, a 1976 concert that brought together the Band and several special guests, from Bob Dylan to Muddy Waters – what is striking is that decades on, their voices have never sounded better.

Photograph: Alan Betson / The Irish Times Young strides out with The Chrome Hearts, comprising Spooner Oldham, Micah Nelson, Corey McCormick and Anthony LoGerfo, all great musicians who can read and adapt to Young's slippery brilliance. He sets the tone with Be the Rain, and its tale of 'living in fear of the wrong decisions'. It is one of a number of Crazy Horse songs, with Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) all snarling and sad, and Cinnamon Girl showcasing what a great guitarist he is, bringing us to heavy weather on something like F*ckin' Up, and Love and Only Love. His influence on bands from Metallica to Nirvana to Fleet Foxes is clear, and this Canadian (like fellow compatriots Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell), has impacted a particular kind of American culture to the point of becoming that culture. Watching him root around his own history is humbling, from his work with Crosby, Stills & Nash for the swaying Name of Love, and Looking Forward's tentative beauty and talk of 'free-roamin'' souls. Every composition translates to a kind of plea for more tenderness, with Harvest Moon as its devastating manifesto, and the warmly graceful Old Man, a kind of coda. At one point a keyboard lowers from above, a nod maybe to the celestial nature of this show, which manages to be both familiar and surprising at the same time. Rockin' in the Free World descends on to a devoted audience, and the sentiment of Beckett's Endgame seems to swirl around Young's sensibility, 'the end is in the beginning and yet you go on'. It's inspiring. Book Club friends from Naas enjoy the view and acoustic over spill from a mound just outside the fencing for the Van Morrison and Neil Young concert at Malahide Castle.

‘There's people being bombed from the f**king sky': Kneecap's Mo Chara would ‘get over' US visa being revoked

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, better known as Mo Chara in Kneecap , has said he'll 'get over it' if his visa to travel to the US is revoked. The Northern Irish rap group is reapplying for visas, he said, as he faces a terrorism offence charge in the UK. Ó hAnnaidh is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hizbullah, after someone from the crowd handed it to him at a gig last November. Last week, the case was adjourned by a court in London and he was freed on unconditional bail until August . In an interview with the Guardian on Friday, Ó hAnnaidh said: 'Maybe visas get revoked, you're not allowed in America again, it's not ideal – but Jesus Christ, there's people being bombed from the f**king skies, and people being starved to death. READ MORE 'We're in the process [of applying for new visas], hopefully it works. But if it doesn't, I can go about my day without having to worry about my next meal or my family being bombed. Visa revoked, I can get over it.' When asked if he regrets what happened at the gig in question, Ó hAnnaidh said: 'It's a joke . I'm a character . Shit is thrown on stage all the time. If I'm supposed to know every f**king thing that's thrown on stage, I'd be in Mensa, Jesus Christ.' He added: 'I don't know every proscribed organisation – I've got enough shit to worry about up there. I'm thinking about my next lyric, my next joke, the next drop of a beat.' The band believes the charges are part of a concerted effort to distract from their vocal support of Palestine. 'We're a distraction, to take away [attention] from what's happening in Palestine,' Naoise Ó Cairealláin, aka Móglaí Bap, said in the same interview. 'It's all being livestreamed – you can never say you didn't know what's happening in Palestine, and that's why they want to bog us down and go through old videos. Over 100 people were killed in the last four days – that's the real story.' He alleges that the US and the UK 'are complicit in this genocide' on the grounds that each country has sent military supplies to Israel. Ó hAnnaidh was charged with the terrorism offence shortly after Kneecap performed two sets at Coachella, the popular California music festival. As is commonplace at the group's shows, they displayed a message stating: 'Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,' and the words 'Fuck Israel. Free Palestine'. The band are due to perform at Glastonbury on Saturday, a set dubbed 'inappropriate' by UK prime minister Keir Starmer due to the terrorism charges and separate remarks about MPs. Footage from a November 2023 gig appears to show one of the band's members saying: 'The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.' The band later expressed their 'heartfelt apologies' to the families of David Amess, a Conservative MP who was murdered in 2021, and Jo Cox, a Labour MP who was murdered in 2016. When asked about the 'Kill your local MP' footage, Ó hAnnaidh again stressed that he's playing a character on stage. 'It's satirical, it's a f**king joke . And that's not the point. The point is, that [video] wasn't an issue until we said 'Free Palestine' at Coachella. That stuff happened 18 months ago, and nobody batted an eyelid. 'Everybody agreed it was a f**king joke, even people that may have been in the room that didn't agree – it's a laugh, we're all having a bit of craic. The point is, and the context is, it all [resurfaced] because of Coachella.' After those gigs, Ó hAnnaidh said Kneecap's opponents 'went and combed through eight years of a career ... they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel'. 'If you believe that what a satirical band who play characters on stage do is more outrageous than the murdering of innocent Palestinians, then you need to give your head a f**king wobble.'

Lewis Capaldi releases new music amid speculation of Glastonbury set

Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi has released new music amid speculation he may be one of the secret acts to perform at the Glastonbury Festival. The 28-year-old last performed at Glastonbury in 2023 before taking a break citing anxiety and announced on New Year's Eve the same year that he planned to take a hiatus to focus on his health. He has released a new song titled Survive and alongside a video montage, with the song playing, he wrote on Instagram : 'It's been a while…'. Last month, he performed on stage for the first time in two years at a charity gig in Edinburgh to raise funds for suicide prevention. READ MORE Capaldi, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has Tourette's Syndrome and released his first album in 2019, with a second album following in 2023. On New Year's Eve in 2023, Capaldi said in a lengthy Instagram post that he would 'continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself' following the announcement he would take a break from touring after struggling with his voice during his Glastonbury Festival set earlier in the year. Capaldi explored how the pressures of fame have affected him mentally and physically in the Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now which was released in April 2023. His critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent emerged as the biggest-selling UK album of both 2019 and 2020. His hit songs include 2019's Someone You Loved, 2020's Before You Go and 2022's Forget Me. This year's Glastonbury line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, with a Friday slot on the Pyramid Stage at 4.55pm speculated as one Capaldi could perform in, but this has not been confirmed. Also among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set at Glastonbury is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth studio album, Virgin, has just been released. - PA
