MUSIC NEWS: The big surprise in the news this week was the announcement that The Maccabees are to call it a day. No particular reason was given for the upcoming split in a statement released on social media.

They stressed they have not fallen out, and feel that they are at their creative peak following gigs on the festival circuit that included a recent appearance at Latitude in Dublin. Meanwhile, fans of Roots Manuva were disappointed that the London rapper’s gig at the National Concert Hall in Dublin was cancelled last night.
