I 1988 bhí daoine ag cur milleán ar sceitheadh gás don tubaiste caor thine sa Mhuir Thuaidh a mharaigh 166 duine.

I 1994 thug siad foláireamh deiridh chuig na oibreoirí cruach.

I 1977 bhí an t-ambasadóir Meiriceánach nua mhac d'eisimirceach ó nDúlainn.

I 1988 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh seirbhísí máithreachais ag teastáil de bharr go raibh níos mó leanbh a shaolú ar thaobh an bhóthair.

Sin Glenn Medeiros le Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1988.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1978 ghabhadh Joe Stummer agus Paul Simonon ó The Clash de bharr go raibh siad ar meisce tar éis cheolchoirm ag an Apollo I nGlaschú agus fuair an bheirt acu fíneáil.

I 2007 thóg na póilíní amhránaí Prince as an stáitse leath slí tríd an cheolchoirm ag First Avenue I rith cheolchoirm dhéanach I Minneapolis. Bhí an chlub oíche ábalta a bheith ar oscailt go dtí 3 ar maidin ach tháinig Prince ar an stáitse 15 nóiméad roimhe. Chan sé ag dhá cheolchoirm I Minneapolis roimh an cheann seo. Bhí an chéad cheann ag siopa ilrannach chun a cologne nua a scaoil amach – chan sé 9 amhráin a raibh timpeall 45 nóiméad.

2007 Prince was forced off stage by police halfway through his set at the First Avenue nightclub during a late-night gig in his home town of Minneapolis. The club was only allowed to stay open until 3.am but Prince took to the stage at 2.45am. The singer had already played two concerts in Minneapolis before his late-night club appearance; His first performance was at a department store, where he promoted his new cologne with a nine-song, 45-minute set.
