Everyone stop what you're doing and prepare to get festive, because Christmas FM is back on the airwaves tomorrow! 

No, really. 

The calendar might say it's March, but the scenes outside look like something off the Coca-cola Christmas ad – and to mark the occasion, the lads and ladies down at the station have decided to treat us to a special one-off broadcast.

The charity station made the announcement on Twitter this afternoon, confirming that they will indeed be pumping out the Christmas tunes from 8am-8pm tomorrow, Thursday, March 1. 

It won't be available on radio, so listeners will need to tune in via the Christmas FM app, website or Wi-Fi radio if they want to hear their favourite festive hits. 

Could this day get any better?

New York had Studio 54, Paris has The Moulin Rouge and Manchester had The Hacienda but ALL of Ireland has Copper Face Jacks and now this Club Of Clubs is getting its very own all-singing, all-dancing musical.

The producers of ANGLO: The Musical are proud to present the world premiere of Paul Howard’s latest comedy masterpiece, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical. 

Opening in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre on Thursday 5th Of July, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is a celebration of a club that started out life as something of a Culchie Embassy in Dublin.

It has since been embraced by its home city, because regardless of your county colours you’ll always find a welcome (and a slow-set plus a nurse…and if you're lucky both together) in the club that has become synonymous with having a good time for three generations of Irish night clubbers. 

Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is written by Ross O’Carroll Kelly creator Paul Howard and is a love story set on the eve of a Dublin Kerry All Ireland Final, when a sweet Kerry girl, who’s moved to the big smoke for her dream job in The VHI, ends up falling head over her flat-shoes with a true blue Dublin team member.

Can love conquer all as these two young sweethearts face massive cultural and linguistic hurdles on their road to happiness/Croker? Only time, some great tunes, a cast of puppets and a bunch of cloakroom tickets will tell.

Speaking about the show Paul said, “Once you hear the name Copper Face Jacks: The Musical it’s impossible not to want to make it happen. We’ve been talking about it for a few years now so it’s brilliant to think in just a few months it will be up and running. I hope we can do this very special venue justice…whilst I also secretly dream of a day when this work is on the Leaving Certificate”.

Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is the second in Paul Howard’s trilogy of puppet based musicals, with his third Dermot Bannon: The Opera due to open in a soon to be built Bannon designed glass box extension on The Abbey Theatre sometime in 2023. 

Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is produced by Kite Entertainment and Verdant Productions in association with the Olympia Theatre. Original Concept Created by Darren Smith with Paul Howard. Producers will announce the cast in the coming months.

Tickets from €28 plus booking fee will go on sale this Friday 2 March 2018 from Ticketmaster.ie.

OK, ladies now let's get in formation! 

There's a Beyoncé brunch coming to Dublin next month, and we are BEYOND excited. 

In celebration of Internation Women's Weekend, Fearless Moves and GirlCrew have themed up to honour Queen Bey herself with an unreal fitness event on Saturday, March 10 at 10am in the Bernard Shaw.

Born from the idea that getting fit should be fun and social and not pure torture (hear, hear), Fearless Moves is a fitness event series featuring a deadly music theme, a banging DL, a whopper instructor and most importantly, delicious post-workout food. 

So, what can you expect? 

The workout will be a HIIT class with Jenni TRX hosting, along with Sarah Byrne (of Mother fame) on the decks playing the banging Beyoncé versus diva remix. 

The training session will be followed by a healthy brunch served from Café Marvel in the Bernard Shaw – which, let's be real, is the real reason we'll be going. 

The event is open to all fitness level, meaning you don't need to be a total gym bunny to join in with the tunes and chats. 

 

We couldn’t choose one way to celebrate GirlCrew’s birthday this year so we teamed up with @fearless.moves to celebrate it ALL THE WAYS! Hiit fitness class to Beyoncé tunes followed by brunch! Link to book tickets on the GirlCrew app or search it on eventbrite if you’re not a member. (PS. Why are you not a member? Awks.) See you there amazing women of Dublin.

So, if you haven't noticed already, The Beast from the East has well and truly arrived.

Schools are closed, public transport is all over the place and many workers have been told to stay at home – and of course, this can only mean one thing – Netflix snow day anyone? 

Sit back, relax and settle in for a day (or two) of blissful binge-watching – sure, what else would you be doing in that weather anyway? 

Here's what we recommend: 

1. Ugly Delicious 

Foodies, this one's for you!

Chef David Chang travels around the world, exploring the close relationship between food and culture. 

From Japanese pizza to BBQ tacos, the star chef hunts down the world's most satisfying grub. 

Pro tip: Refrain from watching on an empty stomach. 

2. The End of the F**king World

Based on a graphic novel of the same name by Charles Forsman, this British dark-comedy isn't your usual tale of boy meets girl. 

The script follows James, a 17-year-old who believes himself to be a psychopath, and Alyssa, a rebellious classmate, as they embark on a road trip in search of her real father. 

3. American Vandal

Satire at its absolute best, this 'true-crime' series explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images.

The story follows an aspiring sophomore documentarian as he investigates the controversial and potentially unjust expulsion of troubled senior (and known d*ck-drawer) Dylan Maxwell.

The addictive American Vandal will leave one question on everyone's minds until the very end: Who drew the d*cks?

4. Big Mouth

This weird, wonderful and often vulgar grown-up only cartoon isn't for the faint-hearted. 

Set in an American Middle School, Big Mouth follows a group of young teens as they come to grips with the horrors of puberty. 

It's frank and honest portrayal of teen life will surely unearth some cringe-worthy memories you thought you'd buried forever. 

5.  The Confession Tapes 

A critical look at true crime cases and how the flaws in the American justice system. 

It focuses on trial in which a lack of physical evidence was made up for by using devious psychological tactics during interrogation.

If you consider yourself to be a big fan of cool manicures, then the following may send you over the edge…

The shattered glass manicure effect is sweeping Instagram, and we are in LOVE with it. 

Now OBVIOUSLY it's not real glass (that would be dangerous ladies) but it’s actually thin slivers of cellophane (think shinier cling film) arranged on the nail to reflect light.

The results are pretty darn cool, and will guarantee you all the likes on Insta.

We cannot WAIT to try this look!

Remember when you were a kid, and you would get so excited at the thought of a bouncy castle being at a party?

Well, fast forward a few years, and the excitement has not faded… just changed a little.

Who needs an inflatable castle, when you can play in an inflatable PUB?

Yeah, we are deadly serious!

You can rent these bad boys for any event, or even buy one to keep if you can't face being without it! 

They cost €2350 to purchase, however renting it will only cost you a fraction of that.

Wouldn't this be an awesome addition to a wedding party? Or any party for that matter…?

Us Irish don't really cope well with the extreme weather, now do we? (Hurricane Ophelia, we're looking at you)

As the country braces itself for heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions, courtesy of The Beast from the East,  the Twitter folk of Ireland have done what they do best – made a complete joke out of the whole situation. 

We're a gas bunch altogether! 

The anticipation is palpable. 

Priorities. 

It's hard to argue with the facts. 

Same, Grainne. Same. 

Jaysus is right… 

Shorts. He's wearing shorts!

Simon Delaney and Glenda Gilson have teamed up with Radio Nova to help promote Radio NOVA’s 2018 ‘Help Our Homeless Radiothon'. 

The two-day charity event, will take place between February 28 and March 1 will see the much-loved Dublin station turn over its airwaves to raise vital funds from donations from the public and local businesses.

Now in its fourth year, the proceeds from this year's Radiothon will go to Focus Ireland – an organisation working to help people who are homeless or are at risk of losing their homes across Ireland.

A special call centre will be set-up at Radio Nova’s HQ in the Dublin’s Docklands with Focus Ireland staff manning the phones to accept donations during the 48 hour charity pledge drive.

Last year Focus Ireland supported over 700 households to move out of homelessness. However, the overall annual government figures for 2017 show a 17% increase in family homelessness. There was also a shocking 23% increase in the number of children homeless during this same period.

Latest figures show that 8,587 men, women and children are currently homeless.

Nova CEO Kevin Branigan said, “Over the last 3 years the Nova listeners have raised over €130,000.Their generosity up until now has been amazing and we’re convinced they will once again help us in our campaign to raise much needed funds for Focus Ireland.”

Tune in to Radio Nova to give what you can or visit homelessradiothon.ie for more information.

OK, nobody panic, but the Lady Marmalade girls could be reuniting.

According to reports, Mya expressed her desire to reform the group and preform the 2001 mega hit once again.

Originally released in 1974 by Eleventh Hour, Lady Marmalade was re-recorded by Mya, Lil Kim, Christina Aguilera and Pink as part of the Moulin Rouge! Soundtrack.

Speaking about the possibility of a reunion, Mya told ET Canada the whole experience was “a lot of fun.”

“I really hope that we can reunite and do the song.”

Same, Mya. Same.

The singer also put an end to the long standing rumours of on on-set feud between fellow performers Pink and Christina Aguilera.

“I don’t remember any cat fights, we just got the job done. And we came to give a show at the end of the day,” she explained.

Pink recently shed some light o the situation, saying how she and Christina had clashed in the past, but have since put their differences behind them.

"We were super young and super new at the whole thing, and I think I'm an alpha, and she's an alpha,” she said.

"You have to learn — women have to learn how to support each other. It's not taught to each other in the playground."

"She's a really sweet person. We made up on The Voice. I mean, it was funny, I laughed. I hadn't seen her in years and years and years."

So, looks like all the ladies are on board!
