Gun Street Girl by Adrian McKinty
McKinty is my favourite author of late.
Gun Street Girl the 4th (2015) in the Sean Duffy series.
Dark themes. Yet I laughed at something on nearly every page.
When Duffy grudgingly takes on a double murder case, he finds himself on the trail of a conspiracy which could cost him everything.
Belfast, 1985.
Gunrunners on the borders, riots in the cities, The Power of Love on the radio. And somehow, in the middle, Detective Inspector Sean Duffy is hanging on, a Catholic policeman in the hostile Royal Ulster Constabulary.

Cameron Barnes roped in veteran actor Blythe Duff, best known for her role in Taggart, and bagpipe supergroup the Red Hot Chilli Pipers for his version of the hit.
The song is transformed from two lovers arguing to one of a son calling his mother over the festive season. …
Barnes, who is from Methil in Fife, was inspired to reimagine the tune due to controversy over radio stations “censoring” some of the lyrics from Fairytale of New York, which was originally sung by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.

I’m trying YouTube Premium
CAD $12 / month if I continue after the first free month.
💛 No ads 💛
I’m tempted. I hate YouTube ads, particularly the ones mid-video.
Subscription includes a short list of YouTube Original shows and movies.
In fact, I tried the service to watch the Gymnastics series Defying Gravity.
Better is YouTube Music.
I downloaded the YouTube Music app for my iPhone, as well. I can play almost anything with or without video. Offline if I download.
It does NOT include YouTube TV. That’s OK as it’s only available in the USA and costs $64.99/mo.
