Discussed here in relation to these Western European artists, I argue that my concept of cosy otherness derives from the internal other that is both European and foreign (Bohlman 2000: 189–193; Gelbart 2007: 64; McKerrell 2016: 126; O’Flynn 2014: 238). Unlike the conventional definition of a post-colonial other and the concept of an internal other, the cosy other is not ominous, competing, or negative. Rather, it appears charming and unthreateningly different with singular cultural traits such as a performance language other than English, a discernible regional dialect, or a pronounced regionalism. The cultural baggage accumulated over time – for example the troubled history of both Ireland and Scotland with England – is wrapped up in cosiness, niceness and nostalgia.

  • Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama
    Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama Ros na Rún 8.30pm Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6/9/16 (omnibus Sunday) The flagship drama series comes of age this season (the 21st) and is one of TG4’s best-loved programmes. It has engaging storylines that bring the leading characters through awkward situations and extreme jeopardy. There are many laughs along the way, the kindling of romance and consequent broken hearts for some but not all. The coming season will continue to delight, excite and engage audiences with cliffhanging drama, deception, deceit, death and of course romance and humour. In its unique natural style, Ros na Rún deals with the many social issues which face rural communities in today’s world and excels in the exposure of such matters with insightful writing and acting. Following on from the end of season showdown in the woods, audiences wait to see the fate of Bobbi Lee and Andy and will be intrigued to find out if he was left for dead. Tadhg, the series lynchpin is seriously threatened this season but will he get away with it, or must he spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder? The season opens with much treachery and drama, and viewers will once again be glued to their seats as the season unfolds and death hits the coastal village, depriving the community of one of its long-time residents. Wakes and weddings are part of rural life and a Christmas wedding could be on the cards bringing the village some much needed romance and happiness. With tales of affairs, theft, controversial pregnancies, break-ins and break-ups viewers will have plenty to guess at and gossip about every Tuesday and Thursday night at 8.30pm on TG4 with the omnibus on Sundays at 10.30pm.

Carty already has three solo fiddle albums, two banjo albums, two group albums and a sprinkling of recorded tenor guitar and flute music recordings under his belt so it’s little wonder he should have joined such elusive ranks.

  • Narratives of Cosy Other in the Media Representations of Female Folk Singers
    Noora Karjalainen IMAGINED, REMEMBERED, GENDERED: Narratives of cosy other in the media representations of female folk singers This article examines the ways in which contemporary folk singers Julie Fowlis (Scotland), Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (Ireland), Emily Portman and Kate Rusby (England) are constructed in the media as what I call the ‘cosy other’. Discussed here in relation to these Western European artists, I argue that my concept of cosy otherness derives from the internal other that is both European and foreign (Bohlman 2000: 189–193; Gelbart 2007: 64; McKerrell 2016: 126; O’Flynn 2014: 238).

Female Folk Singers in the Media Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2020, 100 p. (JYU Dissertations ISSN 2489-9003; 176) ISBN 978-951-39-8003-0 (PDF) The aim of this dissertation is to show how the media representation of female folk singers is constructed. To find out what kinds of narratives emerge from it, it is important to understand that this media representation is based on processes of remembering and premediation. Methods of close reading and analysis were applied in examining concert and album reviews, interviews and articles written about four contemporary female folk singers: Julie Fowlis, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Emily Portman and Kate Rusby. The findings show how deeply embedded in cultural memory the presentation of a female folk singer is and how extensively it is used in constructing media representation of these singers.

  • Why I Sing the Songs I Sing: an Exploration Into the Creative Strands That Contribute to My Performance of Song
    Why I Sing the Songs I Sing: An exploration into the creative strands that contribute to my performance of song. Karan Casey PhD Arts Practice Supervisor: Dr Sandra Joyce Professor Mick Moloney Course Director: Professor Helen Phelan Submitted to the University of Limerick September 2019 1 2 Abstract Why I Sing the Songs I Sing: An exploration into the creative strands that contribute to my performance of song. Karan Casey This thesis explores my role as a creative female voice within Irish folk and traditional music, dealing with questions relating to my creative process, the performance of social justice, orality, performativity and social activism. My two PhD performances provide the central inherent intellectual and emotional contributions to the philosophical considerations that this thesis formulates. The first chapter is a road map outlining arts practice methodological and theoretical approaches, situating the research primarily in my performances and in my auto-ethnographic writing. Also introduced are the more traditional research methods of ethnographic interviews, data from archival work, panel discussions and a questionnaire. The cultural framework and background of traditional singing was interrogated in Chapter 2 and contextualised by an overview of the literature on Irish traditional and folk song. I specifically explored the origins of political folk song as it forms a central part of my repertoire. I utilized my performances to explore further how performativity, orality, arrangement and the reworking of the songs is deeply embedded in my creative process. Chapters 3 and 4 involve an intensive interrogation of my two performances. Chapter 3 focusses on my first performance of traditional, folk and self-composed songs.
