In a scene straight out of East Germany's Stasi playbook, a grandmother got a visit from two plainclothes police officers ? not for committing a crime, but for daring to criticise Labour councillors online.

Left-wing activists in Britain are less likely to work with their political opponents and more likely to think that those who think differently have been misled, a study has found. Leftists are intolerant? Who knew.

Toby Blair's Institute for Global Change has published a report that apparently tells Ed Miliband his Net Zero plans are unrealistic. But look closer and you find the same Green Blob pushing the same agenda, says Ben Pile.

Youthful Presentation in Carlingford

Let's Hope We will Get to Hear Singers More Frequently in Carlingford

The concert given in Carlingford this afternoon by three young men was less glamorous than the previous concert which was given by The Esslan Trio. The program was interesting in its range and also because it included a singer.

A concert was given in The Carlingford Heritage Centre on Sunday 1 May 2005 starting at 4.00 p.m. by Eoin Supple (Baritone) and, seperately, by Karl Sweeney (violin). Aengus Kerin (piano) accompanied both soloists in turn.

The program was

Mozart An Chloe
Als Luise die Briefe

Schubert Gute Nacht
Frülingstraum

Fauré Prison

Hahn Trois jours de Vendange

Dunhill The Cloths of Heaven

Quilter Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal

Mozart Se vuol ballare (Le Nozze di Figaro)
Non piu andrai (Le Nozze di Figaro)

Interval

Joannes Brahms Sonata No 1 in G major, Op 78
1. Vivace ma non troppo
2. Adagio
3. Allegro molto moderato

Franz Waxman Carmen Fantasy

The presentation was unfussy and the singer got through the first half of the concert adequately enough if undramatically. He added two pieces to the program above (which I have copied from the official program). I did not make a note of the titles of the two additional pieces but I think they were familiar enough songs - settings of texts by, I think, Burns or Blake, and Shakespeare.

The violinist Karl Sweeney gave a good account of the Brahms and proved himself to be a wizard at the pyrotechnics in Carmen Fantasy and an encore - something with "Goblins" in the title. Karl is 23 and from Knockbridge, Co Louth.

Aengus Kerin (Age 21 from Sligo) was a composed and unruffled accompanist who did very well and he did not attempt to steal the limelight.

As I said at the start the soloists were unfussy to the point of diffidence.
