Murder @ The Yummy Hotel

Cyclone Productions presents:

Murder at the Yummy Hotel

Members of CADS and other locals join together to bring you a comic romp for the whole family.

A sweets convention is coming to Cork and the speakers are the most notable of the field. They are Professor Chewgum from Bubblebursten University, Sally O'Caverty from Sweet Sensations and Ichyblob Brainfreeze from Slushee Heaven. They've all booked rooms at the Yummy Hotel!

The proprietors, Mr. Keptidee and his two sweeter than can be daughters, Nancy and Sabrina, run an ultra-clean establishment and have many rules that the guests must adhere to. If guests violate these rules there will be "grave" consequences. And of course, there are!

Join us for jokes, fun, murder and mayhem!!

Niall Connolly
accompanied by Karl Nesbitt
@ Arthaven Gallery

Friday 4th May @ 830pm

€12 in, with glass of vino
Support by Dave Power

Niall Connolly kicks off a month long European tour at Arthaven on May 4th. He will be accompanied on the night by multi instrumentalist, producer and long time collaborator, Karl Nesbitt.

"Niall Connolly writes intelligent literate songs rich in graphic detail. Better still, he writes convincingly from his own experience and his heart. We don't have enough like him."-Jackie Hayden -Hot Press (the man who signed 'U2')

Niall Connolly is widely regarded among his peers as one of Ireland's most promising young songwriters. His debut album 'Songs from a Corner' (2001) went to number one in the Hot Press indie charts and helped Connolly build a loyal fan base in Ireland as well as affording him the opportunity to tour Britain and mainland Europe. His follow up 'as tomorrow creeps from the east' (2003) opened further doors and brought him to North America for three tours. Niall's music has already received airplay in Ireland, New York, Toronto and Sydney. 'As tomorrow creeps from the east' has also bizarrely recorded internet sales in as yet untoured territories including Japan and New Zealand. Niall is currently completing work on his third collection The Future Tense.

In praise of "As tomorrow creeps from the east"
"Niall Connolly is simply too damn good to be missed" - The Village Voice- New York
"Gorgeous."-The Irish Times
"Revelling in melodic glory"-Irish Music Magazine
"A mini masterpiece"-The Evening Echo
" An album to warm and soothe the heart. 8.5/10"-Hot Press
“Like many great writers, his writing is very much an art as opposed to simple, short-lived entertainment.-www.musician.ie
"I cannot remember the last time I heard such a moving collection of songs"- Kurt Wagner, Lambchop
“ Like another great Irish songsmith, Van Morrison, Niall doesn't waste words. He has that rare ability to throw just a handful of words at you and you get the picture. A really interesting and beautiful record”.- faster and louder- (Australia)
“As Tomorrow Creeps From The East is a great album from a talented singer-songwriter. If you're a fan of modern acoustic music, you're strongly advised to not let this one pass you by."- Being There Mag- Cananda

Colin McLean

in concert

Friday 27th April, 2006

Tickets: €12 incl. glass wine

Colin first played Classical Guitar at the age of eighteen with his first teacher, Jerry Creedon. This led to his entrance into the Degree course in the Cork School of Music later that year where Colin excelled in the art of performance.

In 1998, and again in 1999, he won the Feis Matthew cup for solo guitar performance. In his final year in the Cork School of Music (2002) Colin was the first guitarist to win the Cork School of Music Senior Recital.

During his time on the Degree course he studied with various guitarists and received many master classes from some of the worlds’ greatest guitarists such as Fabio Zanon, Paul Gregory, David Leisner, Magnus Anderson and Craig Ogden.

In 2002 Colin decided to take a year out and reform his technique. For this reason he travelled to London during this year to study with the Brazilian Virtuoso Fabio Zanon. Under the supervision of Zanon, Colin completed a Masters in performance over the following two years.

Colin is currently studying with the German Master Tilman Hoppstock and is performing around Ireland.

Colin has a large repertoire which spans from the Latin romantic pieces to the popular Classics. Influenced by his internationally renowned former mentor Fabio Zanon, plays a large selection of South American Dances such as Tangos, Milongas, Rumbas and Venezuelan Waltz’s, from such composers as Piazzolla, Gonzaga and Lauro.

This style of music is complemented with a variety of classic Italian and Spanish works from the 19th century, a time when the romantic lyricism of the guitar encouraged composers to write some of the most beautiful works for the instrument.

Arthaven Gallery presents
“BARAKA: The Film”
A visual essay on the relationship between man and the Earth

A Fair Trade Awareness & Fundraiser for The ATE Project (Irish People working together with Peruvians in the slums of Lima)

Friday 23rd March @ 8pm/ Tickets €20 incl. glass of wine

Baraka (1992) is an experimental documentary film directed by Ron Fricke, cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi, the first of the Qatsi films by Godfrey Reggio. The title Baraka is a word that means blessing in many different languages. The score provided by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard (from Dead Can Dance) and Michael Stearns. Baraka's subject matter includes footage of various landscapes, churches, ruins, religious ceremonies, and cities thrumming with life, filmed using time-lapse photography in order to capture the great pulse of humanity as it flocks and swarms in daily activity. The film also features a number of long tracking shots through various settings, including one through former concentration camps in Europe and Tuol Sleng (in Cambodia) turned into museums honoring their victims: over photos of the people involved, past skulls stacked in a room, to a spread of bones. The movie was filmed in 70 mm Todd-AO in 24 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. It contains no dialogue. Instead of a linear plot, the film uses themes to present new perspectives and evoke emotion. A sequel to Baraka, Samsara, is currently in production and expected to be released in 2007.

In addition to the screening of Baraka, we are proud to host Fair Trade Cork and recently released The Peoples Republic of Cork Fair Trade T- shirts. See side panel for further details.

“Virtuoso music from

18th century Ireland"
by
Beyond the Pale

on Friday 9th March, '07 @ 830pm/ 12euro incl. vino

Beyond the Pale is an exciting new ensemble founded by four Cork-based musicians who specialise in the performance of Baroque music. Boasting a wealth of performance experience in Ireland and abroad, each of the four musicians brings to the group a distinctive approach to historically-informed interpretation of the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. With a collaborative approach to the music of this period, they produce a vibrant musical sound which is faithful to the musical styles of the time.

The programme will include music by Ireland-based composer Geminiani and other (baroque) music popular in Ireland at the time, like Corelli and Handel, plus unique arrangements of O'Carolan tunes and other traditional stuff, all on period instruments.

Together, these four musicians make Beyond the Pale an exciting addition to the chamber music scene in Ireland.

Beyond the Pale are: Marja Tuhkanen (Baroque Violin), Conor O’Connell (Recorders), Ilse de Ziah (Cello) and James Taylor (Harpsichord).

Check out their New Shiny Website: www.baroquebeyondthepale.com for more information about the musicians and their sound.

A Summer Day

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don;t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do not kow how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

a poem by Pulitzer Prize Poet, Mary Oliver
