OASIS LIVE ‘25 REACHES TOUR FINALE IN SAO PAULO, BRAZIL

“And so it came to pass.

‘The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history’ found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation. From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City Of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten.

There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”

24th November 2025 – Last night in São Paulo, Brazil, Oasis performed the final show of their triumphant all conquering Oasis Live ‘25 tour. The 41 electrifying nights received unilateral praise and rave reviews across the UK, Ireland, North America, Asia, Australia and South America.

In August 2024 Oasis ended 16 long years of feverish speculation by confirming their long-awaited return. The reunion that so many thought would never come to pass was now finally, unbelievably, a reality. The Oasis Live ‘25 tour became a cultural phenomenon overnight. The anticipation surrounding the year-long build up to the opening show captivated the attention and devotion of generations all over the world.

On 4th July 2025 fans from as far as Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America travelled to Cardiff for the tour’s opening. The audience were awed. Completely united. Endlessly giving. Every word screamed back at the band in a moment of pure harmony and joy. It had begun. The Sunday Times confirmed, “the biggest rock comeback in history. This is the start of Oasis summer.”

The global multi-generational enthusiasm for Oasis Live ‘25 cannot be underestimated. “Oasis have finally conquered the States”, claimed Billboard as the tour reached North America. In New Jersey Vogue said, “more than a decade after their infamous (and, thankfully, temporary) breakup, the band’s lore and allure have remained firmly intact – and proven irresistible to 20-somethings.” In Los Angeles The Hollywood Reporter said, “fans of every generation were present, but the evening belonged to those born this century – many of whom cried through song after song.” In Mexico City El Universal said, “in every city they visit, more than a concert, it’s a cultural event.” Korean newspaper Dong-A Daily saw, “92% of the audience in their teens and thirties. The younger generation was thrilled”. Rolling Stone Japan witnessed, “a social phenomenon that has even drawn in Generation Z”.

The tour has filled people’s lives with a sense of togetherness. When Oasis Live ‘25 returned to Wembley Stadium in September the Guardian saw “the closest anyone has felt to national peace in decades … The unity and euphoria it created is unforgettable.“

Oasis Live ‘25 has created moments of impulsive celebration that will go down in folklore. At Manchester’s Heaton Park fans created a new local landmark in Gallagher Hill, whilst the NME saw “the true opening night of the mammoth Live ’25 tour, with Oasis mania taking over every part of the city”. Hordes of fans surrounded Dublin’s Croke Park, unified in their roaring rendition of Half The World Away. In Melbourne a local bar owner published an open love letter to Oasis, calling the tour an “unexpected force for good” and an “economic juggernaut” for the city, crediting the tour with rescuing his business by generating unprecedented footfall. A viral moment captured the Melbourne fans packed across the steps of the Southern Cross Station, singing Don’t Look Back In Anger. In Buenos Aires the crowd delivered the tour’s finest poznań – the nightly ritual surge of bodies and voices as Oasis launch into Cigarettes & Alcohol. Thousands lined the streets of Santiago, eyes fixed on the swarm of drones forming the band’s iconic logo above the Estadio Nacional – a signature pre-show moment in every one of the 17 Oasis Live ’25 cities.

During all of this, Oasis fever has dominated the airwaves, streaming platforms and the UK Official Charts. This is showing no sign of slowing, with the newly released Familiar To Millions (25th Anniversary Edition), Time Flies, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe all currently in the UK Top 40.

The Oasis Live ‘25 Tour has cemented the band’s place at the very top table in rock history. From their hometown to the Americas, to Australia and Asia, generations of Oasis fans came together for a shared experience of euphoria and joy. An incomparable moment in culture, the Live ‘25 Tour closes having changed the game, and setting what may well turn out to be an unreachable bar.

BEAR’S DEN & CIARAN LAVERY

SHARE COLLABORATIVE NEW SINGLE ‘PROMISER’

PROMISER EP OUT OCTOBER 10TH VIA COMMUNION RECORDS

BEAR’S DEN TOUR IRELAND THIS MONTH WITH CIARAN LAVERY

Bear’s Den and Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery have joined forces for ‘Promiser’ – a collaborative new single, released ahead of a fast-selling Irish tour later this month. The track is taken from an EP of the same name, due for release on Communion Records on October 10th.

The track and EP see the two songwriters explore the beauty of simplicity – both lyrically, and in the one-take nature of its recording. As Bear’s Den’s Andrew Davie explains of the process: “There was this lyrical idea early on of trying to write songs that didn’t need innate conflict or tragedy to exist. Songs that celebrated the beauty of love in its more simple, domestic and mundane moments without the need always for high drama. ‘Promiser’ felt like the song that guided the way for us but lyrical ideas like ‘You Don’t Have to be Lonely Anymore’ & ‘How Long Have I been Waiting for You’ felt more like quiet reflections or these tiny epiphanies that occur in a relationship as opposed to overly loud or overblown sentiments.”

Quietly recorded over a five day period at Davie’s home studio, Promiser strips away at the complications of the modern day recording process; an intentional move from Davie and Lavery. There are nods to the desperately laid bare approach of records like Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, Will Oldham’s Viva Last Blues and Adrianne Lenker’s Bright Future, with Davie and Lavery meticulously defining the limitations that would make up the character of this body of work. Rules and restrictions, such as playing the song in its totality each time, helped to create this element of surprise and encourage reaction that was informed by the lyrics and vocal delivery. 

This spirit of embracing the capturing of moments extends to guest musicianship on Promiser by Emma Gatrill and Joshua Burnside, who both feature across the collection with many one-take contributions and what little notes provided based entirely on emotional response.

“After touring together and becoming good friends, I started working with Ciaran with no real aim or vision in mind,” explains Davie. “Very quickly though, we found that we were writing multiple songs in a day. Ciaran is a unique and wonderful songwriter who has so many ideas that emerge so fully formed that often you’d blink and the bulk of a beautiful song would just be sat there in front of us. Being able to witness, collaborate and learn from him as a songwriter was truly a blessing and a privilege.”

Lavery describes how “there’s something truly magical about stripping away all of the mechanics and just looking at each song for what it is. Working with Bear’s Den felt almost entirely accidental, and I have to remind myself of the times sitting across a table with Davie pulling songs entirely apart. I think that says a lot about the way in which we captured these songs and the faith we had in following the feeling of which take felt the best, as opposed to exhaustively listening and tweaking or editing from there.”

‘Promiser’ comes ahead of an Irish tour later this month which will see Lavery opening for Bear’s Den – the run marking Bear’s Den’s first full tour in the country since 2017, and first Irish shows since their last Dublin appearance at the 3Olympia Theatre in 2022.

Early sales saw quick upgrades for shows in Dublin and Belfast, with the upgraded Dublin venue also selling out in 24 hours. The full run can be found below.

Re-Creation ‘The Trial of Ian Bailey‘

Directed by Jim Sheridan and David Merriman

 Starring Vicky Krieps, Jim Sheridan, Aidan Gillen, Colm Meaney, and John Connors.

Releasing exclusively at Omniplex Cinemas, Friday October 3, 2025.

Tickets available from Friday 19 September www.omniplex.ie

“Re-Creation offers a sharp and unsettling portrait of just how fragile the boundary can be between fact, speculation and media-driven myth.” Independent.ie

“A skillful blend of “12 Angry Men” and the exciting beats of a true-crime podcast.” Variety

“In the end, it is us, the viewer, who is really a 13th juror in that room, to decide for ourselves what is the dividing line between guilt and innocence.” Deadline

“The case is real; the trial is not. However, in this fictional chamber, constructed from real police records, forensic reports, and investigative transcripts, the conversations are disturbingly plausible…What follows is less a courtroom drama than a forensic psychological excavation of how justice can be shaped by personal experience, unconscious bias, and emotion.” Next Best Picture

Re-Creation is the new film from Oscar winning director Jim Sheridan, co-directed by David Merriman.

The audience enter a jury room where twelve fictional jurors are gathered to examine the real case files in the 1996 West Cork murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan Du Plantier. These include official police reports, forensic data, and just some of the investigative transcripts that exist around the case. Twelve voices scrutinize the evidence, examine mistruths, and confront bias in the decades long investigation into one single solitary individual for this brutal murder.

This fictional dramatisation follows what might have happened in a jury room should the entire body of evidence have been made accessible. Re-Creation presents difficult and inconvenient questions around this highly controversial case that made global headlines. It explores whether any justice has been served in the killing of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier, and strongly suggests that a wrongly accused man spent a lifetime vilified and maligned by authorities, media and public alike. What remains is the terrifying prospect that a vicious killer continues to enjoy their freedom 28 years on. Re-Creation, and the evidence that comes to light in it, ultimately leaves viewers to make up their own minds. 

Directed by Jim Sheridan and David Merriman, Re-Creation stars Vicky Krieps, Jim Sheridan, Aidan Gillen, John Connors and Colm Meaney as Ian Bailey. Re–Creation opens exclusively in Omniplex Cinemas on October 3rd. 

Sheridan reflects: “I made Re‑Creation because I was determined to follow the story wherever it led me from West Cork to Paris. It is vital to not be afraid to look at the truth, to value the living and the dead.”

Merriman adds: “I felt driven to make Re‑Creation to dispel the myths around the case that, in my opinion, have left one person wrongly accused, a killer on the loose for the last 28 years and most importantly, no justice for Sophie Toscan Du Plantier.”

The film opens exclusively at Omniplex Cinemas across Ireland from Friday, 3 October Mark Anderson, Director of Omniplex Group, notes: “Omniplex are delighted to partner with Jim and David on the cinema release of Re‑Creation, a story which has captivated our nation for almost 29 years. Seeing their take on the evidence was a fascinating experience and one I think will once again grip the nation. Jim is a legend of cinema and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of this release.”

Re-Creation is directed by Jim Sheridan and David Merriman, starring Vicky Krieps, Jim Sheridan, Aidan Gillen, Colm Meaney, and John Connors. Running Time: 89 Minutes. The film opens exclusively in Omniplex Cinemas across Ireland on Friday, October 3.

MATT BENSON

Announces new single “The Way It Should Be” releasing 22 May

Ahead of debut album release Sit Back Down Again on 11 July (pre-order now)

Singer-songwriter Matt Benson is set to release “The Way It Should Be” on 22 May, the third single from his highly anticipated debut album Sit Back Down Again, scheduled for release on July 11 (pre-order now)

Following the emotional debut single Sit Back Down Again—a moving tribute to his late sister Catherine, affectionately known as “Kathy”—and the nostalgic Strangers & Angels, which offered a cinematic reflection on the wistful memories of youth, Matt continues his storytelling journey with a bold new track.

“The Way It Should Be” is what Matt describes as a classic “pay-off” song—an old-school songwriting style with a punchline twist. “It features a touring trombone player who suspects his partner is cheating on him,” Matt explains. “But he’s got some jaw-dropping news of his own to share at the end. Have a listen to hear the punchline!”

With heartfelt lyrics, rich storytelling, and a dash of unexpected humour, The Way It Should Be promises to be another compelling chapter in Matt’s growing body of work.

Matt Benson has enjoyed a prolific career as a trombonist since his professional debut in 2010. Known for his work with George Ezra (since 2017), Bad Manners, The Pogues, Neil Hannon, Hot 8 Brass Band, and even Brian May, he’s performed on stages from Glastonbury to The Tonight Show, The Brit Awards, and Jools Holland’s Hootenanny. He’s earned praise from legends like Quincy Jones—who called him “a great trombone player”—and Paul Sanchez of HBO’s Treme, who said, “this guy can play his ass off!”

Now, after years supporting some of music’s biggest names, Matt Benson is stepping into his own light. Sit Back Down Again promises to be a soulful, story-rich debut, filled with heart, history, and a whole lot of brass.

Catch Matt live this summer at the following venues:

Sun. 1 June       The American Bar, Belfast -Show 2-5pm / SOLD OUT

Fri. 20 June       Club Beo, Leo’s Tavern Donegal 

Thurs. 26 June   Shamrock Bar, Falcarragh, Donegal

Music Network’s

season closes with jazz saxophonist Emma Rawicz & her exceptional quartet

This June, Music Network is delighted to present stellar jazz saxophonist Emma Rawicz performing with her exceptional quartet featuring Elliot Galvin (piano), Kevin Glasgow (bass) and Asaf Sirkis (drums). Rawicz is a multi-award winning young  bandleader and composer who is making waves on the UK music scene and beyond. Jamie Cullum refers to her as ‘an astonishing talent’, and as her live performances and recordings continue to garner widespread acclaim, it’s easy to understand why ‘the name Emma Rawicz is on everyone’s lips right now’ (BBC 3).

At just nineteen, Emma independently released her critically acclaimed debut album Incantation, and singlehandedly managed an extensive UK release tour that featured headline performances at renowned venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and the Jazz Cafe. Her latest album, Chroma, released on the ACT label, was selected as The Guardian’s Album of the Month and has earned her further international recognition.

Since then, her international career has flourished and she has played in over sixteen countries, touring extensively in Germany and Scandinavia. She was recently selected as a BBC New Generation Artist, is the winner of a Parliamentary Jazz Award and a former finalist at the Jazz FM Awards and BBC Young Jazz Musician Competition. The Royal Academy of Music recently awarded her the Musicians’ Company Silver Medal for excellence and for her contribution to the institution, an award not previously given to a jazz student.​

Described as ‘a force to be reckoned with’ by Jazzwise, Emma’s musical endeavours are broad, with artistic projects ranging from a duo with internationally renowned pianist Gwilym Simcock to her regular touring quartet made up of stars of the UK jazz scene. In 2023 she was the Cambridge Jazz Festival’s Artist in Residence, culminating in a triumphant concert where she led the Cambridge University Jazz Orchestra in an all-original programme of her own music, and showcasing a brand new commission for the ensemble. She also featured as a soloist with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall in the 2022 London Jazz Festival and with the German SWR Radio Big Band at a sold-out Berlin Philharmonie in February 2024.

​

The future promises to be exciting for Emma as she heads into the studio to record new music with previously unrecorded ensembles this year?. Emma is a passionate educator and is already in demand as a masterclass leader, most recently giving workshops in Denmark, Lithuania and Norway, as well as having a strong educational presence in the UK for musicians of all ages. The Guardian got it right when it reported that ‘the warp speed of her evolution is showing no sign of slowing.’

Jazz fans will be captivated by this young player and her command of her instrument. Emma and her quartet are in Ireland from 4-13 June playing in venues in Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Wicklow, Dublin, Kerry, Cork and Kildare.

Wed. 4 June                  Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, Donegal
