Dear Reader –
I love January! An opportunity to reset. The year stretching out ahead of us, full of possibility…

The Big Thing
The internet and newspapers this time of year are full of the subject of New Years Resolutions. The best way to achieve your goals. How to be smarter with your money. Follow this routine and lose weight. Some worthwhile, others not so much, and sometimes difficult to tell the difference.
Here’s the best thing I read in this regard. I found it on Zain Kahn’s Twitter feed. It’s a summary of Yale’s most popular course in it’s 320-year history. How to live a happier life.
Where else but Sligo?
I was lucky to spend most of 2021 in Sligo. For my last Sligo Weekender Column of the year I wrote about a few of my favourite things from the last 12 months.
I forgot to include the below song though! Such fun we had writing and recording it.
You can read the column here.
What’s New?
PIANO LESSONS: One job for this week is to finalise my teaching timetable for the new term (staring this month). A very small number of slots are still available for students aged 7-18. Reply to this email or contact me on 087-2390710 if you are interested. Info on adult classes to come.
GET BACK: I mentioned it in the article in the Where Else But Sligo Section, but I am loving Get Back at the moment. Amazing historic footage. I keep pinching myself to check it’s real. Available on Disney Plus.
THEME NIGHT VIDS: All theme night #28 vids are now uploaded to YouTube. Here is a link to the playlist. 34 vids in total!
Finally…
I was talking to a former student this morning about Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert. Well known music YouTuber Rick Beato goes into detail on two minutes of the legendary recording below.
And…if you’re in the mood, you can listen to the full concert on Spotify here.
Till next time - Kieran.
