THE DUBLINERS Dossier De Prensa THE DUBLINERS Dossier de prensa FICHA ARTÍSTICA Barney McKenna - Banjo tenor, mandolina y voces John Sheahan - Violín, tin whistle y mandolina Seán Cannon - Voz solista y guitarra Eamonn Campbell - Guitarra y mandolina Patsy Watchorn - Voz solista y banjo Folk irlandés en estado puro Seven drunken nigths, una exal- tación de la amistad, el whisky de triple destilación y las pintas de cerveza negra, marcó el inicio del largo idilio entre The Dubliners y los millones de amantes de la música de todo el globo. En esa época, finales de los 60, la radio nacional irlandesa censuró la gra- bación del tema y, con el efecto ha- bitual en estos casos, la canción se granjeó una popularidad inmesa. De todo ello se cumplen ya 47 años, casi medio siglo de vida para un grupo que empezó a contar sus historias en el O’Donoghue’s pub de Dublín. The Dubliners ha en- trado en su quinta década, se dice rápido, de extensos tours combi- nados con grabaciones (más de 200 álbumes y acaban de editar A time to remember, registrado en el Metropol de Viena) y sigue hechi- zando al público con su particular manera de entender la vida, sus increíbles voces, su indescriptible forma de tocar, su estilo salvaje, sus enormes barbas, su carisma y su humor. Los Dubliners se han be- bido y han celebrado la vida como pocos. Ha llegado el momento de brindar con ellos.

Web Mundo Música “En un época en la que las bandas se forman y disuelven como las nubes de un paisaje irlandés, The Dubliners han descubierto los ingredientes perdurables de la mú- sica que les han hecho sobrevivir a un viaje de 47 años alrededor del mundo: cultivando la herencia de los que estuvieron antes que ellos, cantando con distensión, nun- ca perdiendo el sentido del humor y encontrando todavía el diamante en un relevo gastado y usado en exceso”. Diario The Vienna Review “La popularidad de The Dubliners es indiscutible y su contribución al mundo de la música tradicional es incom- parable. Son probablemente el mejor accidente que le podía ocurrir al mundo de la música tradicional y han con- tribuido a alimentarla no sólo con sus voces magníficas, sinó también con su talento excepcional como músicos y ‘entertainers’”.

Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.

  • Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce's Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL a Thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingh
    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

  • James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess
    James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess An abstract of a Dissertation by Maxine i!3urke July, Ll.981 Drake University Advisor: Dr. Grace Eckley The problem. James Joyce's Ulysses provides a basis for examining and analyzing the influence of Joyce on selected works of William Faulkner and Anthony Bur­ gess especially in regard to the major ideas and style, and pattern and motif. The works to be used, in addi­ tion to Ulysses, include Faulkner's "The Bear" in Go Down, Moses and Mosquitoes and Burgess' Nothing Like the Sun. For the purpose, then, of determining to what de­ gree Joyce has influenced other writers, the ideas and techniques that explain his influence such as his lingu­ istic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream­ of-consciousness technique are discussed. Procedure. Research includes a careful study of each of the works to be used and an examination of var­ ious critics and their works for contributions to this influence study. The plan of analysis and presentation includes, then, a prefatory section of the dissertation which provides a general statement stating the thesis of this dissertation, some background material on Joyce and his Ulysses, and a summary of the material discussed in each chapter. Next are three chapters which explain Joyce's influence: an introduction to Joyce and Ulysses; Joyce and Faulkner; and Joyce and Burgess. Thus Chapter One, for the purpose of showing how Joyce influences other writers, discusses the ideas and techniques that explain his influences--such things as his linguistic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream-of­ consciousness method.

  • October 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly.
