Just because I post a photo on the Internet, it does not give anyone the right to grab a copy and use it on their own site. It certainly does not give anyone the right to edit that image and remove it's watermark! Why do I say this? Well, a Music, Art, Film and Food print/online magazine here in Ireland did just that with one of my images. Was I annoyed when I saw the image on their site? Yes!

When you get invited to a Day of the Dead festival in Dublin, sure it'd be wrong not to attend, so attend I did!
What a great night it was too! All organised by Liam Oragh an held in the Cobblestone in Smithfield.
On the night we were treated to an eclectic mix of folk, punk, spoken word, rock and hip hop!
I can't recommend this small, one night, day of the dead festival enough. The majority of the acts you won't see playing the larger stages around Dublin, but that doesn't mean they're not any good! They deserve a stage, and they got it tonight!
Next year, I might just take the day after off as I believe the party continued on well into the early hours!
