🎶 We didn’t go to the Zach Bryan concert - but our classroom Room 11 did!

On the 20th and 21st of June, country music star Zach Bryan played two sold-out nights at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. Our Raspberry Shake seismometer here in Room 11 picked up the seismic signal from the crowds - over 25km away!

According to the Irish National Seismic Network (INSN), Zach Bryan’s encore “Revival” was so powerful it was detected more than 125km away - in Kerry, Wexford and Tipperary. Zach Bryan’s crowd even out-shook Metallica, who were playing in Dublin the same night! 🤘

A special shout-out to INSN technical officer Paddy Smith for spotting our data, alongside our friends at Coláiste Éamonn Rís 👏

Science is everywhere - even in an encore 🎸
