    The Guinness Choir marked its 75th anniversary on 7 May. Brendan Finan reviews.

    The main event of the concert was the premiere of The City of Our Dreaming, for which the choir commissioned words from Paula Meehan and music from Seán Doherty, with alto Leanne Fitzgerald as soloist.

    Doherty’s writing is naturalistic and very suited to the voice. He has a gift for composing melodies that feel both simple and inevitable.

  10. On Sunday, a day trip to Sydney, where i just managed to make it in time to be part of the welcome for the Rising Tide Sydney paddle out in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla at the Man O'War steps. Too distracted to take proper pics but plenty of others did - will put up links!

    Grabbed some lunch with a few of the lovely RT folks afterwards. Then headed to Pitt St Uniting Church with a couple of friends to be part of the pop up choir for peace. #singing #choir #peace #RisingTide

    "A choral concert #fundraiser for the victims of the #BondiBeach #terror attack at a #Jewish event in #Sydney has been canceled after local #Greek #singers opposed singing alongside their Jewish counterparts in the planned joint performance.

    The two-hour #benefit #concert, titled Concert for Hope and Unity, was to feature the #Australian #Hellenic #Choir together with the #Sydney Jewish #Choral Society in Sydney Town Hall on June 28, The Australian newspaper reported Monday.

    However, last Monday, during rehearsals, a vote was taken and over half the Hellenic choir “politically objected” to performing with their Jewish counterparts, according to the report.

    Others said they feared a possible attack on the event."

    The centrepiece of our 75th celebrations, “The City of Our Dreaming’ concert. Celebrating our great city, our liberties' origins, our musical tradition, and our commitment to Irish artists. The text for 'The City of Our Dreaming' is an original poem by Paula Meehan, commissioned by the choir and composed for choir by Seán Doherty.

  20. Best musical inspiration from St Paul rally March 38: Joan Baez and the Resistance Choir with Maggie Rogers and Tom Morello singing “ain’t gonna let nobody turn me ‘round.” The choir including kids, and instruments, especially horns, was fantastic. They used various noun replacements for nobody, including President, king, liar, and one man sang in Spanish, using “migra.” Slide to one hour in on Part2 of St Paul No Kings rally

  21. This account, this corner of the fediverse, has become one of the places I let those questions be noisy in public. What does healing mean when the conditions that harmed you are not gone, only rearranged into more respectable shapes? What actually happens inside a counselling relationship when disability or neurodivergence is present but unnamed, or misnamed, or politely ignored? How do we begin to notice the ways power and unspoken norms travel through even the most well-intentioned helping professions? How do we hold culture as something we are constantly creating and being created by, something we may need to grieve and interrogate and occasionally celebrate, often all at once, sometimes in the space of a single conversation?

    I keep circling back to the interior labour of this work. The slow, repetitive practice of building emotional regulation when your nervous system's default setting is red alert. The awkwardness of learning self-compassion when sharp self-criticism has been your most reliable survival tool. The moments that feel like failure because you find yourself reacting in an old way, when in reality this is precisely how recovery moves, looping back on itself, revisiting old ground with slightly different eyes. The way trauma and joy can sit shoulder to shoulder in the same hour, the same therapy session, the same breath, and how unnerving and holy that can feel.

    Rauch and Ansari suggest that silence can be deliberate and strategic, a form of self-regulation rather than withdrawal, a boundary rather than an absence. I think about this in relation to the freeze response, to the moments in my own history when going quiet was not giving up but holding on. The body stills because there are no safe words yet. Sometimes the silence is the story. And learning to hear it as such, to receive it without rushing to fill or fix it, is one of the things I am still practising, in music and in therapy and in the ordinary, unglamorous dailiness of trying to stay present in a life that sometimes arrives all at once.

    I am not arriving anywhere with a finished theory of how any of this is supposed to work. I am coming, again and again, with fragments and questions and a stubborn intention to tell the truth as I understand it in the moment I am writing. That truth is often partial, often shifting. My understanding of myself, of trauma, of disability, of care, keeps moving, and I want it to. I would rather be inconsistent and alive to new information than seamless and rigidly wrong.

    If you are still reading, you are already participating in something I care about. A space that treats complexity as ordinary rather than excessive. Where being too much is not an accusation but raw material. Where intense feeling and rigorous thought are both welcome at the same table. Where healing is not a linear journey toward a fixed destination but something more like learning to live inside unresolved chords without pretending they have resolved. Where music is both metaphor and method, both a way of speaking about change and a way of practising it in the body.

    True silence does not exist. What we call silence is simply what we have not yet learned to hear. The fullness of life in quieter tones. The heartbeat of thought. The whispered rhythm of resilience. The steady murmur of healing is underway. And when we learn to tune into the music between the notes and into the truth held in breath, we do more than survive. We begin to sing again. This time, in a voice that is entirely our own.

    I am not here to introduce myself so much as to keep turning up alongside you. To keep writing from the middle of things, not only from the rare polished moments that look good in hindsight. To keep noticing the small, ordinary, unglamorous ways humans find their way back to themselves, even inside systems that were never set up with them in mind. If any of these threads brush against something in your own story, then you are part of the imagined audience I write towards. And maybe, in a slow, imperfect, occasionally dissonant way, part of the choir that is still learning how to hear itself.
