In honor of #WorldBicycleDay we share an iconic Guinness ad campaign, as featured in the Guinness Museum in Dublin. DID YOU KNOW? In 1996, to increase the popularity of the brand with women, they launched an advertisement showing women working in what was considered male oriented jobs while drinking a pint of Guinness. We then see the iconic shot of a fish on a bicycle followed by the text, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”. (fb)

Meet Louis Devereux! Trad Fest West Workshops in Bodhrán Louis hails from Greystones in County Wicklow, where a musical upbringing shaped his early passion for traditional Irish music. With both his mother and older brother as musicians, music was a constant presence in the home. Louis began learning the bodhrán organically, immersing himself in sessions at small festivals throughout the West of Ireland. Now with over 30 years of experience, he brings both deep tradition and personal style to every performance.
