We hope you will find in it inspiration and cause for celebration. We are especially grateful to The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and ABC A word from our Patron, Paul Muldoon Council for their financial and moral support, which has made this year’s I’m delighted to welcome you to (the programme for) the second annual festival possible. Equally, we wholeheartedly thank our local sponsors, John O’Connor Writing School and Literary Arts Festival. management board, volunteers, and festival team for their hard work, In my capacity as patron of the School and Arts Festival, I thought I’d commitment and dedication to the cause! remind myself of the several meanings of that word. In the first place, For John O’Connor, there were ‘no borders or boundaries where good writing is concerned’. He believed a patron is ‘a person who gives financial or other support to a person, that there is a good book, story, song or poem in us all. This festival seeks to embody his spirit of organization, cause, or activity.’ The idea of being a ‘backer’ is an openness, welcome, encouragement and support to all our class participants and our audiences. Photo: Adrian Cook Adrian Photo: attractive one, particularly when one may fulfill the role in ways that are As well as writing classes, we offer a wide range of Literary Festival events and are confident that there is not necessarily financial – and I don’t mean not heading for the bookie’s something for everyone. to back a horse! To be a supporter in the sense of providing moral or emotional or, indeed, intellectual support is no less important. And it’s Writing helps us to make sense of the many complex ideas that travel through our minds. In some cases, something I don’t have to do alone. You can do it, too! this may result in the gripping novel we cannot put down; in others it aids self-expression, clarity of thought, and even assists us in our working lives. The second meaning of patron is ‘a customer, especially a regular one, of a store, restaurant, or theater.’ It’s an idea that’s connected to that first The Writing School and Literary Arts Festival programme presents writers such as Louis de Bernières meaning but does, I suppose, go more in the direction and Robert McCrum, poets Lemn Sissay and Maria McManus, musicians and songwriters Gareth Dunlop, of financial support. The fact that public sponsorship Horslips, Fiachna and Lisa Lambe, screenwriters, playwrights, librettists, choirs, and more... there is much of the arts is now so fitful, frugal, and (more often to enjoy! than not) driven by favoritism, means that we all As we celebrate the writing talent that was John O’Connor, so do we celebrate the beautiful city of light really need to fall in and fork out. and learning that is Armagh, and the fine talent that has emerged from it over the years. We hope you The role of being a ‘frequenter’ of the School and will feel inspired to write, read, sing, gaze at the stars, and embark on your writing journey – whatever Literary Festival is one that comes naturally to us, the reason! I believe, when we think of the long tradition of Cathy. Armagh being a center for the arts. In addition to the idea of Saint Patrick being our patron saint (patron in the sense here of ‘one to whose protection and intercession a person, a society, a church, or a place is dedicated’) we may extend the A word from Damian Smyth, Arts Council of idea of ‘patron’ to John O’Connor himself, given his place as a prime defender of, and advocate for, our Northern Ireland city of Armagh. The re-emergence in 2016 of John O’Connor, author of Come Paul. Day – Go Day (1948), as a force to be reckoned with in Irish fiction, more than half a century after his early death at the age of 39 in 1959, was a cause for celebration among those aware of this writer’s distinctive qualities as a chronicler of Irish market town moralities, rural lore and our common human foibles. The quality of his work was matched by the Writing School and Literary Arts Festival which prompted the revival in his home place of Armagh – and places unique focus on writing skills across the genres, from songwriting to poetry to travel to cuisine to creative non-fiction. A heady mix and one the Arts Council is delighted to support in its second year, as it develops another asset for culture generally and in Armagh City especially. Damian. 4 5 n the outskirts of Armagh on the Loughall road there was a small hamlet of fifty tiny houses built for the workers of the Duncairne Spin- John O’Connor ning Mill. It was here that John O’Connor was born on 4th April 1920 and here that he lived with his family. His father, Johnny, was a First World War Somme veteran who returned in 1916 with shrapnel injuries Oto his leg and head. He was a cobbler by trade and he eked out a modest living with his wife Kitty by running a little shop from their tiny kitchen in the Mill Row. Writing It was a simple life, dictated by the working mill, the river floods and the simplicity of the lives lived there. The family moved from the Mill Row in 1932, to a ‘grand’ house by comparison, at St. Columba’s Terrace, Banbrook Hill. A blue plaque in honour of O’Connor has been School erected at the house. John O’Connor left school in the mid 1930s and worked, briefly, as a telegram boy. His career with the post office was short-lived as he much preferred lying on the banks of the programme Callan River dreaming and crafting his stories. He became a prolific writer, producing pieces for local newspapers, a large number of short stories and several documentary 2nd–5th november 2017 programmes for the BBC under the encouraging eye of his close friend and mentor, Sam Hanna Bell. His only novel, Come Day – Go Day, was described by Benedict Kiely as a ‘masterpiece’ beautifully capturing the ‘wonder, danger and magic of ordinary days’. In the early 1950s John O’Connor travelled to Papua New Guinea and then Australia, where he died suddenly from peritonitis in Ayr, near Townsville, in December 1959. ‘There are no borders, and no boundaries His emergence as a storyteller of genius did not happen in a vacuum. where good writing is concerned’. His immersion in the cultural and literary traditions of his native city in particular, and County Armagh in general, is evident in his work. The people and environment were John O’Connor. his material; local schools and institutions fed his creativity.

  • Irish Bands of the 60S & 70S | Sample Answer
    Irish Bands of the 60s & 70s | Sample answer Ceoltóiri Cualann was an Irish group formed by Sean O’Riada in 1961. O’Riada had the idea of forming Ceoltóiri Cualann following the success of a group he had put together to perform music for the play “The Song of the Anvil” in 1960. Ceoltóiri Cualann would be a group to play Irish traditional songs with accompaniment and traditional dance tunes and slow airs. All folk music recorded before that time had been highly orchestrated and done in a classical way. Another aim of O’Riada’s was to revitalise the work of harpist and composer Turlough O’Carolan. Ceoltóiri Cualann was launched during a festival in Dublin in 1960 at an event called Recaireacht an Riadaigh and was an immediate success in Dublin. The group mainly played the music of O’Carolan, sean nós style songs and Irish traditional tunes, and O’Riada introduced the bodhrán as a percussion instrument. Ceoltóiri Cualann had ceased playing with any regularity by 1969 but reunited to record “O’Riada” and “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” that year. “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” was not released until after O’Riada’s death in 1971. The members of Ceoltóiri Cualann, some of whom went on to form “The Chieftains” in 1963 were O’Riada (harpsichord and bodhrán), Martin Fay, John Kelly (both fiddle), Paddy Moloney (uilleann pipes), Michael Turbidy (flute), Sonny Brogan, Éamon de Buitléir (both accordian), Ronnie Mc Shane (bones), Peadar Mercer (bodhrán), Seán Ó Sé (tenor voice) and Darach Ó Cathain (sean nós singer. Some examples of their tunes are “O’ Carolan’s Concerto” and “Planxty Irwin”.

  • The Sade Boom Beckett Kept a Keen Interest in the Works and Person of the Marquis De Sade All His Life
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-72683-2 — Beckett and Sade Jean-Michel Rabaté Excerpt More Information Beckett and Sade 1 Introduction: The Sade Boom Beckett kept a keen interest in the works and person of the Marquis de Sade all his life. Quite late, he became conscious that he had participated in a ‘Sade boom’, dating from the inception of French Surrealism, from Guillaume Apollinaire, André Breton and Georges Bataille to the explosion of Sadean scholarship in the 1950s. Even if Beckett realized that he had been caught up in a Sade cult, he never abjured his faith in the importance of the outcast and scandalous writer, and kept rereading Sade (as he did Dante) across the years.1 I will begin by surveying Beckett’s letters to find the traces of his readings and point out how a number of hypotheses concerning the ‘divine Marquis’ evolved over time. Beckett revisited Sade several times, and he progressively reshaped and refined his interpretation of what Sade meant for him across five decades. Following the evolution of these epistolary markers that culminated in a more political reading, I will distinguish four moments in Beckett’s approach. Beckett knew the details of Sade’s exceptional life, a life that was not a happy one but was certainly a long one, for his career spanned the Old Regime, the French Revolution and almost all of the First Empire. Sade was jailed for debauchery from 1777 to 1790, then imprisoned for a short time at the height of the Terror in 1793–4, which allowed him to witness the mass slaughter; he was freed just before the date set for his execution, thanks to Robespierre’s downfall; he was jailed again for his pornographic writings under the Consulate and the Empire under direct orders from a puritanical Napoleon, between 1801 and 1814.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • What's It Like to Be Black and Irish?
    “What’s it like to be black and Irish?” “Like a pint of Guinness.” The above quote is taken from an interview with Phil Lynott, the charismatic lead singer of the Celtic rock band Thin Lizzy, on Gay Byrne’s ‘The Late Late Show’. Lynott’s often playful and bold responses to such questions about his identity served to mask his overwhelming feelings of insecurity and ambivalent sense of belonging. As an illegitimate black child brought up in the 1950s in a strict Catholic family in Crumlin, a working-class district of Dublin, Lynott was seen to have a “paradoxical personality” (Bridgeman, qtd. in Thomson 4): his upbringing imbued him “with an acute sense of national and gender identity” (Smyth 39), yet his skin color and illegitimacy made him the target of racial and social abuse in a predominantly white and conservative Ireland. For Lynott, becoming a rockstar offered an opportunity to reinvent himself and be whoever he wanted to be. While he played up to the rock and roll lifestyle in which he was embedded, Lynott is often considered to have been a man trapped inside a caricature (Thomson 301). Geldof (qtd. in Putterford 182) believes that this rocker persona was Lynott’s ultimate downfall and led to his untimely death at just 36 years of age in 1986. For all his swagger and bravado, behind the mask, Lynott was a troubled, young man searching for a place to belong. While many books have been written about the life of Phil Lynott (e.g. Putterford; Lynott; Thomson), few have drawn attention to the notion of identity and the way in which music provided Lynott with an outlet to explore his self.

  • Filmography V6.Indd
    a filmography Foreword by The Irish Film Institute For over 60 years, the Irish Film Institute has been dedicated to the promotion of film culture in Ireland and therefore is proud to present this filmography of Samuel Beckett’s work. Beckett remains one of Ireland’s most important and influential artists and Samuel Beckett – A Filmography provides a snapshot of the worldwide reach and enduring nature of his creativity. As part of the Beckett centenary celebrations held in April 2006, the Irish Film Institute organised a diverse programme of films relating to the work of Beckett, including a tour of the line-up to cinemas around the country. Prior to this, the Irish Film Institute provided the unique opportunity to view all 19 films in the ‘Beckett on Film’ series by screening the entire selection in February 2001. This filmography provides the perfect accompaniment to these previous programmes and it illustrates that Beckett’s work will continue to be adapted for film and television worldwide for years to come. Photograph by Richard Avedon Samuel Beckett – A Filmography was made possible though the kind support of the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and the Beckett Centenary Council and Festival Committee. Mark Mulqueen Director, The Irish Film Institute An Introduction Compiling a filmography of Beckett’s work is both a challenging and daunting prospect. It was important, from the outset, to set some parameters for this filmography. Therefore, to this end, I decided to focus on the key area of direct adaptations of Beckett’s work filmed for cinema or television.

Frances, would you care to give your consent for this being deposited in the Sound Archive of the British Library? FG: Yes. KD: OK, I wondered if you could tell me a little bit about your general experience of theatre. FG: I think it started when I was about eleven and we did Midsummer Night’s Dream, and that got me hooked on Shakespeare and on theatre in general and I remember desperately wanting to be a director and not knowing how you did that from a girl’s grammar school in Portsmouth. The only stuff to go and see - other than what we made ourselves - were the local amateurs on the pier, and our local amateurs were noted for doing every single play of Shakespeare - they were going for some sort of record and I hit Titus Andronicus year which was huge fun because they had obviously seen the Peter Brook one, the one where Brook brought Lavinia on with great swathes of red velvet on the wrists.

Popular Music In September 1968 Van Morrison was in NewYork, recording a series of songs about life back in Belfast. This was his Astral Weeks album, one of his most important works. It was also a vivid snapshot of Northern Ireland just before the climate changed dramatically with the outbreak of the Troubles. In Morrison’s sentimental picture, there were youthful voices, parties and high-spirits; flamboyant figures such as Madame George cruised the streets of Belfast as the post-war generation challenged social conventions. The hippy ideals were already receding in America, but Belfast had experienced a belated Summer of Love and a blossoming social life.
