Faithless to play intimate Limerick gig next month as tribute to Maxi Jazz
The gig will take place on Friday, June 6, as part of their two-night 'Ireland Underground' tour. A second show will take place in Derry on Saturday, June 7.
The band's Sister Bliss said they cannot wait to play in Ireland, describing the gigs as 'up close and personal warehouse shows'.
It's been 30 years since 'Insomnia' topped the Irish charts. Following a return to the live arena last year, Faithless will visit Ireland ahead of a number of summer festivals including the Isle of Wight and Pinkpop in the Netherlands.
The gigs come three years after the band's lead singer Maxi Jazz passed away aged 65. Original members Sister Bliss and Rollo collaborated with show designer Jvan Morand for an uplifting celebration of their music and a heartfelt tribute to Maxi Jazz.
Faithless are to make their debut Limerick appearance this June with an intimate gig at Troy Studios.
While it is the band's first show in Limerick, member Rollo has strong ties to Limerick, having spent his childhood summers visiting his Limerick cousins. Sister Bliss also has links to Limerick, having previously played a DJ set at the long-departed Docs nightclub in the 2000s.
The show is also a once-off chance to experience Troy Studios, as the 350,000 square foot space in Castletroy opens its doors for its first ever live event for one night only.
The first release of the tickets were an instant sell-out, and now a second round of tickets have been released at https://www.bside.show/faithless.

Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender and Fontaines DC spotted in Co Mayo over the weekend
On Saturday, Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, English singer Sam Fender, and Irish band Fontaines DC lead singer Grian Chatten took a cruise at the Killary Fjord on the border between Co Mayo and Co Galway. Killary Fjord boat tours, which offer 90-minute cruises exploring the fjord, posted a photo on their social media with the famous guests. "Even celebrities can't resist these views,' they wrote on Facebook. "Yesterday, we welcomed the legendary Lewis Capaldi and Fontaines DC aboard, soaking up the magic of Killary Fjord. 'After all the excitement of having Lewis Capaldi and Fontaines DC aboard this weekend, here's the money shot, as captured by crew member Sinead, of the whole gang posing with the true star of Killary Fjord – our beautiful [cruise ship] Connemara Lady,' they added. It was also reported that Capaldi and Fender were both spotted shopping in a Tesco supermarket in Westport, Co Mayo, on Friday, where they took pictures with fans. English star Sam Fender (31), best known for his hit single Seventeen Going Under, is due to hit the stage at the Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois, on Saturday, August 30. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi (28) is coming back to Ireland for two gigs in Dublin in September as part of a comeback tour after a two-year break to focus on his mental health.

Are sweet sandwiches the trend of the summer?
Caryna Camerino of Dublin's Camerino Bakery joins Brendan O'Connor on RTÉ Radio 1 to discuss the rising popularity of sweet sandwiches. Listen back above. "We have the strawberry sandwich in our bakery and, I can tell you, it is divisive," says Caryna. While some are eager to try the social media sensation, others are downright scandalised to see fruit filling. Inspired by the Japanese sandwich that started the trend, having been reviewed on TikTok by locals and tourists alike, Caryna's sandwich is deceptively sweet. "It's white bread without crust, but it's a Japanese milkbread called shokupan, so it looks like a sliced pan, but it's actually a bit more sturdy. If you squish it, it's a bit more spongy and a bit more sweet." At the time of writing, the baker insists that she makes the cakey bread from scratch as she hasn't been able to source a supplier in Ireland. "It's filled with a marscapone or a cream cheese folded together with stiffly whipped cream, and it's a little bit sweet, so maybe some honey. "Then you have some fruit in the centre, and it's arranged in such a way that when you assemble it, you wrap it, and you mark the way that you've arranged your fruit like an architect so that when you slice it on the diagonal, your cut fruit is exposed so it looks like stained glass." In Japan, these sandwiches have been around for years, and may contain mangoes, grapes, or any other assortment of fruit. In Ireland, though, strawberries were the obvious choice. "I was really interested to try it here because our cream is the best, our cream cheese is the best, our strawberries right now are the best. To me, it made absolute sense to give it a go." If you want to make your own sweet sambo at home, Caryna suggests trying a sweet brioche bun. "The filling is double cream, stiffly whipped, and it's folded in with Irish cream cheese - that tends to be a bit softer than a French cream cheese, so it's perfect. Sweeten with some honey and arrange your strawberries in the centre."
