The three remaining Celts look forward to an hour of music making, playing tunes spanning four centuries.

Thursday 20th July @ 1800hrs

"My love is a Tall Ship"; Jimmy Crowley is an Irish traditional folk singer and musician from fair Cork City in the Republic of Ireland. No-one sounds like Jimmy, and few can match him for the humour, joy, tenderness and sheer storytelling craft which he brings to his repertoire of songs.

Jimmy has been travelling the world as a professional musician since 1977. He has been involved in an ongoing process of ethnography, collecting songs and ballads from Cork and elsewhere. Jimmy is a keen sailor with a great love of the sea and in 1994 he released an album on Dino Records called 'My Love Is A Tall Ship',which included the title song which was to honour the Tall Ships visit to Cork and a tribute to President Robinson called 'Mrs President'.

He is a fine self-accompanist on bouzouki and mandolin. A former member of the band Stokers Lodge, he has formed magical musical associations with many of Ireland's folk greats such as Michael O'Domhnaill of the Bothy Band, Joe Burke, Jackie Daly, Donal Lunny and Mick Moloney.

"He is a consummate stage performer as well as a song writer, adding colour to his songs by weaving stories about Cork characters, maritime exploits and daily life into his act. His singing style is truly unique - nobody hearing Jimmy could possibly mistake him for anyone else.”

Irish music great Mick Moloney

Appreciation for "Hughie"

Our sincere thanks to the cast and crew of "Hughie" for the wonderful performance which took plalce in Arthaven Gallery on Friday last, the 30th of June. In particular, special mention must be given to Ber Power, who brought Eugene O' Neill's character, Hughie, to life and was suberbly executed, and to John Roche, whose role as the dozy night clerk was marvellous.

Once again, the gallery was transformed, this time into a vertible theatre. The encouragement, dedication and support of our audience is of course crucial to the success of any event, and this was no exception. We are most appreciative of the on-going and new support which Arthaven receives.

So keep you see peeled, and brace yourselves for an eventful Cork. Watch this space!
