Pop sensation Allie Sherlock enjoys farm-fresh gelato in Louth
The family-run business shared a post of the 20-year-old pop sensation saying 'Look who had a taste of our Gelato at a local event, the amazing singer @alliesherlock We hope you enjoyed and be sure to call down to the farm shop soon!' The Cork-born singer shot to fame when a video of her performing the Ed Sheeran hit Supermarket Flowers on Grafton Street when she was just 12 went viral, leading to an appearance on the Ellen De Generes Show. Since then she has headlined gigs in Ireland and the UK and played support to the likes of The Script, Picture This, OneRepublic and Gavin James. This summer she has played at the Kaleidoscope Festival and Live at Leopardstown and has just announced a European tour in the autumn following the release of her new single Damage Control.

Gavin James on Kneecap, TikTok, playing Van Halen on the tin whistle and sharing his love for Dolly Parton and Lizzo
The acclaimed Irish singer songwriter was in an energetic mood ahead of his upcoming Wexford gig New Ross Standard Although a proud Dubliner, Gavin James is no stranger to the sunny South East. Growing up, he spent most summers in south Wexford on family holidays in a mobile home but next weekend, along with his guitar and well-travelled band, he promises to build on the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann excitement building up around the town when he appears at the Breakwater Festival. On a recent advance trip to Wexford ahead of his concert, Gavin fondly told of how he enjoyed spending time with his cousins during the summer months, which would later turn to a trip on the train with a 'cheeky crate of beer' in tow and being surrounded by a few good friends having the craic on 'sofas from the 90s that look like seats on Dublin Bus' – with no mobile phones, of course.
