With the Unionist (pro-British) community in Northern Ireland lighting inflammatory bonfires (pun intended) tonight before commemorating the Battle of the Boyne tomorrow , I thought I'd post something to balance.

Here are two collages of murals in the Nationalist (pro-Irish) Bogside area of Derry (a.k.a. Londonderry) - details in Alt text. Also the Derry Girls mural.

Derry, Northern Ireland. June 2025.

#TIL Today I learned, that the #Bogside, the Irish pub around my corner, run by a group of volunteers, hosts #livemusic every Thursday. And that's pretty cool! Today I saw the Pint Size Company. ;) #Offenbach #OFnord

"The battle of the Bogside was an important catalyst for change, triggering a determined British government intervention that ended the unionist monopoly on power. But it also marked the beginning of 30 years of violent conflict that would claim the lives of more than 3,600 people and bring untold suffering."

"Teenage Kicks" was created in the same city in 1978. Listen to a later gig: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=PinCg7IGqHg
