Example, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding, Mika, Professor Green, Fatboy Slim, Texas and Amy MacDonald are the heavyweight names confirmed for September 27’s Arthur’s Day celebrations which, for the first time, will be coming to all corners of Ireland.

The line-up has just this minute been announced in the Guinness Storehouse with Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri and Ms. Macdonald on hand to quaff a couple of celebratory pints.

They’ll be joined by the cream of Irish talent and some other surprises!

There are no tickets on sale this year – just head to one of the 500 free Arthur’s Day events taking place in local pubs across all 32 Counties, and keep an eye on the door to see who walks through!

“Arthur’s Day has always been about people coming together for unique and remarkable music experiences in pubs and venues around the country,” reflects Guinness Marketing Manager Stuart Kinch. “This year, we wanted to do more and give everyone the chance to experience the magic of Arthur’s Day by making all events free and giving the public a chance to vote and help bring a headline artist to their local!

“Apart from the change from 38 ticketed music events last year to over 500 free Arthur’s Day music events this year in pubs in all 32 counties, we anticipate many more pubs will also be organising their own celebrations around the country so it promises to be the biggest Arthur’s Day yet with the Arthur Guinness Fund also directly benefiting from the celebration.”

The aforementioned voting process is taking place online at www.guinness.com up until September 16.

The Flouride Debate

Six weeks ago, Hot Press presented a detailed set of 27 Questions on the mandatory fluoridation of the water supply in Ireland to the Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for the policy, Alex White TD. Since then, there has been a further upsurge in the campaign against fluoridation, with a growing wave of international opposition being mirrored here. In the past month alone, Israel has decided to end its policy of mandatory fluoridation, while in Ireland, Skibbereen Town Council has voted to oppose the policy – and will be lobbying for a similar vote among town councils all over the country...
