BREAKING: Brian Kennedy and Hardy Bucks in state of war
Worrying developments from the Korean Peninsula have been overshadowed this morning by the news that Brian Kennedy and The Hardy Bucks have now entered a 'state of war'
The Belfast singer, fresh from a skirmish with former 'The Voice of Ireland' colleague Kian Egan (#lipsynchgate), last night audaciously opened up a battle on two fronts when he took to Twitter to call out the lads from Castletown.
how on earth is " Hardy bucks " commissioned".. ??

Such provocation was never going to go unnoticed, and within minutes, the Viper Higgins was mobilized and on a war footing.
The Viper - aka Proinnseas Ó hUiginn, or as his mam calls him, 'Francis', soon took to YouTube with a musical response to Kennedy's drumbeats of war.
Its attention now firmly shifted from Pyongyang, the world awaits the next salvo in the Kennedy-Bucks conflict.
US President Barack Obama is said to be "watching developments in the Castletown situation closely", while North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is understood to be "well hacked off" that the focus of global concern has shifted to somewhere in rural Mayo.
However military analysts say a full-scale conflict is extremely unlikely and Kennedy's provocations are instead aimed at drawing Higgins into an exchange of fire that generates headlines on a quiet Tuesday morning.
We'll see what Edwardo T Durkan has to say, when he wakes up (a fierce head on him after the Bank Holiday weekend, by all accounts).
Durkan's on it!
@KennedySinger well Brian, you meet with the heads of development, bring along a concept that has legs. And Bobs your mothers brother!
