Zach Bryan makes sweet admission to Irish fans after sell-out Phoenix Park shows

Zach Bryan has thanked Irish fans for their "kindness and their grace" after he performed three sell-out shows in Dublin.
The 29-year-old superstar performed in front of 180,000 fans over three nights at the Phoenix Park in Dublin last weekend.
As he left for London, where he will perform at Hyde Park on June 28 and 29, Zach thanked Irish fans for their "kindness and grace".
He told his fans on social media: "From the last time we were in Ireland, I have seen boys become husbands, husbands become fathers, gained band members, lost friends, stayed up all night and slept in.
"We've crossed deserts, plains and places we prolly shouldn't have been. There is love on random streets and there is a lot of hope still in the little things.
"Thank you so much to Ireland for taking my family and making it your own the last three nights. Thank you for your kindness, your grace and everything you are as a country. We'll love you forever and we will always be back."
While staying in Dublin, the country singer partied for three nights at Dublin city centre pub, The Celt.
He even left a €6,000 tip after he heard a staff member was working at the pub to cover his college fees.
Pub owner Noel Tynan told the Irish Independent: "Well, when he came off the plane the first day, he came literally straight to The Celt and he had his wind-up party here.
"He had about 100 in his team, so they were all there, and we also had Chasing Abbey from Tullamore — they're pretty well-known themselves — they dropped in and played.
"One of the staff members just happened to pass a remark about working late — said he has to because he has to pay for his fees for college — and Zach said he might be able to help him," Mr Tynan said.
"So, he said to me, 'How much will I leave?' And I said, 'Leave a million.' I was joking — I didn't think anything would be left! He said, 'How about four grand? And I said how about 10?' I was just joking; I wasn't expecting him to leave anything.
"And he said, 'Tell you what — we'll meet in the middle. We'll make it six.' So, he just left €6,000. And he also gave me two tickets to give to the children's hospital in Crumlin."
"He's a very generous fella," he added at the time.

Irish writer Donal Ryan wins prestigious Orwell Prize for Political Fiction

Irish writer Donal Ryan has been announced as the winner of the prestigious Orwell Prize for Political Fiction for his novel 'Heart, Be At Peace' this evening in London. The novel, which is set a decade after his acclaimed debut novel, 'The Spinning Heart', centres on the story of a small-knit town told through the voices of 21 different characters. The 2025 judging panel for the prize for fiction was chaired by author Jim Crace and he said that Mr Ryan's book was chosen as the winner "for its clarity" and "for its twenty one perfectly pitched voices". "Here is a small deprived community in rural Ireland - suffering and recovering from the bruises of its political and economic past," Mr Crace said. He described the novel as "exceptional". Mr Ryan, from Co Tipperary, joins a distinguished list of former Irish writers on the winning list, including Anna Burns and Claire Keegan. Ukranian author Victoria Amelina is posthumous winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing for her book 'Looking at women, looking at war'. She died in July 2023 in the Ukraine war and her unfinished work documents the resistance efforts of Ukrainian people and was described by the judges as "a testimony and a precious, powerful work of literature, a steady beam of light born amid darkness and violence". There is a prize of £3,000 (€3,517) for each of the winners. Every year, the Orwell Foundation awards prizes for the work which comes closes to George Orwell's own ambition to "make political writing into an art".
