She lived in England throughout World War II and studied at the famed Chelsea School of Art. She moved to Ireland in 1973, lecturing in art in Waterford. Her family had originally come from Gracedieu here in Waterford. Rosemary’s early years in India had influenced her palette and her work belongs to the great colourist tendency of early twentieth century art, standing alongside her contemporaries Howard Hodgkin and Patrick Heron. Influenced by the work of Picasso, Braque, Matisse and Bonnard, Higbee used brushes, palette knives and fingers to create her work. Imagine Arts Festival is pleased to introduce a retrospective of Rosemary Higbee’s work. Official Opening WEDNESDAY 23RD OCTOBER Goma Gallery | 7:00pm This Exhibition will run from the 16th October - 16th November Opening hours: Wed - Sat 12:30pm -5:30pm FREE EVENT Sponsored by Anchor Spirits Imagine Arts Festival 2019 7 THE DELINES WITH SPECIAL GUEST MALOJIAN January 2019 saw the return of Portland, Oregon's The Delines following an enforced three year hiatus, following a serious injury to singer, Amy Boone. The comeback album, The Imperial was greeted with acclaim across the music press, including 4-Star reviews in MOJO and Q Magazines and 8/10 In UNCUT. The Imperial picked up where the band left off on their stellar 2014 debut, Colfax. Like that album, The Imperial features Boone evoking a beat-up Dusty Springfield or a weary Rickie Lee Jones on 10 tracks penned by Vlautin, who is also lead singer/songwriter for Richmond Fontaine. Vlautin’s songs, which vividly paint worlds both romantic and lonely, desperate and hopeful are the perfect vehicle for Boone, who is equally adept at sounding broken-hearted and optimistic, weary and resilient, in a voice that’s grittier than Bobbie Gentry’s and more lonesome than Sammi Smith’s. The Delines are a band at the peak of their powers and at the vanguard of Americana. Malojian is about to release his fifth album, his previous four being critically acclaimed, each sonically different but which share a consistently high level of song writing. Malojian will showcase the as yet unreleased new songs, some of which were co-written with Jason Lytle of Grandaddy. FRIDAY 25TH OCTOBER St. Patrick’s Gateway Centre | Doors 8:00pm €20 + Booking Fee Booking through www.imagineartsfestival.com Sponsored by Momo 8 www.imagineartsfestival.com THE WHISTLING GIRL WITH HONOR HEFFERNAN AND TREVOR KNIGHT The acclaimed Irish duo of singer / actress Honor Heffernan and composer Trevor Knight, present their Dorothy Parker inspired new show, The Whistling Girl with a cabaret, speakeasy-style show. Each of the songs create individual tableaux or dream moments from Parker’s psyche, conjuring up images from her tempestuous life of outrageous celebrity in New York and as civil rights activist in America and Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Come join us for a great night of cabaret and celebration, cheese and wine on arrival compliments of Ardkeen Quality Food Store.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • Introducing Waterford and Its Landscape
    Introducing Waterford and its Landscape Waterford is the most eastern of the six counties of Munster. It is a maritime county with no part of the county being more then twenty-five miles (40KM) from the sea. Waterford contains a variety of landscapes and scenery within its confines, rarely encountered in such a compact territory. In the east of the country the landscape and scenery is derived from the Caledonian folding which underpins the scenery of Leinster, Connacht, most of Ulster and Scotland. West Waterford is part of the Armorican geological province of hills and valleys running east west. Waterford County is split in two by the spectacular plateau of the Comeragh Mountains. This flat-topped massif reaches a height of over 2,600 feet (790 metres). The Comeragh / Monavullagh range of mountains, together with Knockmealdowns, convey a remoteness which encourages exploration; yet they are immediately accessible both in terms of their height and the time taken to get there from any part of the county. Here, nature is allowed full expression in a marvellously unspoiled environment. The peninsulas each side of the county, capped by Brownstown Head in the east and Helvic Head in the west, have the same breezy, invigorating atmosphere and charming fishing villages, but are quite different in character. The distinctly Celtic and Irish speaking area in the west will introduce the visitor to a unique taste of old Irish culture in a wonderfully wild landscape. The eastern peninsula is more reminiscent of Norman and English influences, with its wood-clad hills and sheltered coves. The coast between the two peninsulas shows yet another aspect of this remarkably beautiful and varied county.

  • Information on the History of Waterford Glass
    Collated by nobleantiquegifts.com Information on the history of Waterford Glass Sources: Waterford Glass.com and the Irish Times Year Event 1783 George and William Penrose launched ‘Waterford Glass Works’ just outside Waterford City, Ireland on 3 October 1783, after securing financial aid of £10,000 from the British Parliament Neither of the Penrose Brothers were experts in glass but they gathered 50 – 70 of the best crafts people When first produced, the finish on the glass was frosted, rather than polished as we know it today 1785 John Hill “a great glass manufacturer of Stourbridge” came to work at the factory. He was a skilled compounder and knew the secret of mixing the glass materials to get the best results. John Hill decided to polish the glass 1788 John had a disagreement with the Penrose Brothers after he was falsely accused of something and he decided to leave the factory Before he left, he passed on the compounding formula to an existing employee called Jonathan Gatchell The falling out did not affect the success of the factory and in the Dublin Chronicle 21 August 1788 it reported “a very curious service of glass has been sent over from Waterford to Milford for their Majesties’ use, and by their orders forwarded to Cheltenham, where it has been much admired and does much credit to the manufacture of this country” 1796 - In 1796, William Penrose died and by 1797 the business was up for sale 1809 In 1799, James Ramsey, Ambrose Barcroft and Jonathan Gatchell took over. It was Jonathan Gatchell’s skill as a compounder that created his partnership opportunity.

    POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jessica E. Greenwald August 2005 This thesis entitled POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND by JESSICA E. GREENWALD has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences GREENWALD, JESSICA E. M.A. August 2005. Geography PowerU In Place-Names: A Case Study Of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland (85U pp.) Director of Thesis: Timothy Anderson This study investigates the present day toponymns of Waterford County, Ireland. By using the Land Ordnance Survey of Ireland maps, a database was created with the place names of the county. This study draws upon both traditional and contemporary theories and methods in Geography to understand more fully the meaning behind the place names on a map. In the “traditional” sense, it focuses on investigating changes in the landscape wrought by humans through both time and space (the naming of places). In a more “contemporary” sense, it seeks to understand the power relationships and social struggles reflected in the naming of places and the geography of those names. As such, this study fills a void in the current toponymns and cartographic literature, which are both focused mainly on patterns of diffusion and power struggles in North America.
