The Night Watch.
(God is keeping the night watch for you and for me).
Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps, Shepherds watch over the little white sheep, The lighthouse is shining for ships far at sea, As God keeps the night watch for you and for me.
So sleep, sleep in peace and rest, Don’t be afraid of the darkness, All’s well for over the land and the sea, God’s keeping the night watch for you and for me.
(God is keeping the night watch for you and for me).
So sleep, sleep in peace and rest, Don’t be afraid of the darkness, All’s well for over the land and the sea, God’s keeping the night watch for you and for me.

Four Strong Winds.
Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high, All these things that won’t change come what may, But my good times are all gone, And I’m bound for moving on. I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way, I may go out to Alberta, Weather’s good there in the fall, Got some friends that I could go to workin’ for, Still I wish you’d change your mind. If I asked you one more time, But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more. If I get there before the snow flies, And things are going good, You could join me if I send you down the fare, But if you’ll wait until it’s winter, It would do no good, For the wind sure can blow cold way out there. Four strong winds that blow lonely, (Four strong winds that blow lonely), Seven seas that run high (that run high), All these things that won’t change come what may, (Change come what may) But my good times are all gone, And I’m bound for moving on. I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Tipperary-Born Writer-Director Jo Southwell Embarks On Feature Film, “The Catch.”
Press Correspondent Tom Ryan Reports.
Tipperary-born writer/director Jo Southwell(née Kelly) has confirmed her transition into feature filmmaking with “The Catch“, a bold new project which she has written and is directing.
Tipperary-Born Writer/Director Ms Jo Southwell.
Ms Southwell brings to the film a rich background in screen acting, television directing and immersive formats. A second-generation Irish woman now based in Henley-on-Thames, UK, she began her professional life teaching in Ireland; including at Teach an Leinn in Nenagh and St Mary’s in Newport, before moving into acting and subsequently into filmmaking. Her mother, Hanora Kelly, formerly resided in Templederry, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.
Her acting career has included roles in Irish film and television dramas, before she relocated to the UK to further her screen work. She has directed short films that screened at BAFTA, BIFA and Oscar-recognised festivals, and has worked on episodic television (including shadow director placements on ‘Killing Eve and ‘Trigger Point‘).
“The Catch” emerges from this evolving trajectory. The film is described by Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures, as “a razor-sharp blend of myth and obsession, a story that reminds us that the real monsters are often human.” The project attaches high-profile actors (including Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ben Miles) and is being steered collaboratively by Southwell and producer Sara Gibbings.
Ms Southwell said: “I’ve always been drawn to stories that combine emotional truth and mythic resonance. In The Catch I explore how obsession distorts reality, and how the real monsters walk among us in human form.”
Production is scheduled to begin in 2026, with locations and final casting to be announced. The production is developed by Mermaid Pictures in association with Epic Pictures.

Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine.
“How old do you think I am?” he said. I said, “Well, I didn’t know”. He said, “I turned 65 about 11 months ago”. I was sittin’ in Miami pourin’ blended whiskey down, When this old gray black gentleman was cleanin’ up the lounge. There wasn’t anyone around, ‘cept this old man and me, The guy who ran the bar was watchin’ Ironsides on TV. Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind, On old dogs and children and watermelon wine. “Ever had a drink of watermelon wine?” he asked, He told me all about it, though I didn’t answer back. Ain’t but three things in this world that’s worth a solitary dime, But old dogs and children and watermelon wine. He said, “Women think about they-selves, when menfolk ain’t around, And friends are hard to find when they discover that you’re down”. He said, “I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime, Now it’s old dogs and children and watermelon wine”. Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes, God bless little children while they’re still too young to hate. When he moved away, I found my pen and copied down that line, ‘Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine. I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day, As I left for my room, I saw him pickin’ up my change. That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime, Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
