The Free Range Graphics people have teamed up with 350.org to broadcast the following message: What’s it going to take to stop climate chaos? Well, global warming guru Bill McKibben has a simple answer: 350. That’s the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere that scientists now believe is safe. And it’s the number we have to achieve.

McKibben and our friends at 350.org set out to spread this simple concept, a goal that we can all aim for. And they turned to Free Range to make it into a killer music video that anyone, regardless of the language they speak, can understand. Check it out at http://www.350.org/en/animation

Singer / Songwriters John Spillane and Mick Flannery are to perform live at Cork City’s  newest music venue the Pavillion Bar in Patrick Street on August 6th as a fundraiser for the Free the Old Head of Kinsale campaign.

Contrary to reports in a weekend supplement in the Irish Examiner, the long running campaign to restore public access to the Old Head of Kinsale is alive and well and looking forward to its long-awaited court challenge on the issue of public access which we hope will come up this Autumn.
The gig will start at 9pm on August 6th.
