bach

Damn Goths.

Stuart Kinsella, of German/Irish choral ensemble Peregryne writes:

You might be glad to have the following blurb below of our Bach programme which we’re doing in three Dublin churches at the end of the week. Our poster  (above) is in an appropriately 18th-century Leipzigian Fraktur gothic script … and in German. Can’t accuse us being populist!

Peregryne will sing compline in three Dublin city churches at 5.30pm on the evenings of Friday 6 to Sunday 8 February 2015 beginning in St Andrew’s Westland Row on Friday, St Ann’s Dawson Street on Saturday and concluding in St Werburgh’s church on Sunday.

The perfomances will include two motets by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), namely ‘Lobet den Herrn‘ and ‘Jesu, meine Freude‘.

Choons!

Ask the bar person.

They love making a brew.

Soulful spoken wordsmith Kevin Barrington (of controversial cat women poem fame) and friends take to the informal stage of the Leeson Lounge, Leeson Street, Dublin  to rant rave laugh and sing TOMORROW at 9pm.

Money in the hat.

Your money.

steak

Sitting there in your aqua-jet 9000?

Enjoying your usual meal of steak, waffles, french fries and expensive Scotch?

But do you really understand steak?

Time perhaps for a Steak Exploration?

Universal Pictures Ireland and Jameson Dublin International Film Festival are hosting a preview screening of Dracula – Untold (2014) on Tuesday September 30th at 7.30pm in The Savoy, O’Connell St. Tickets (€10 each) are available online here.

It’s all in aid of the St. Francis Hospice in Raheny [Dublin].

Dracula Untold is Dublin native Gary Shore’s feature debut and cast members Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon will also be in attendance.

Shot on location in Northern Ireland in 2013, the film portrays the origin story of its title character, Count Dracula. Muahahaha.

Gary is a big supporter of the work of St. Francis’ adding that “I cannot speak more highly of the people who work there and the service it provides to patients and families.”

trouble

For those of you who prefer your rock n’ roll as God intended.

With a roof over your head and close to a warm bar.

This is no picnic.

“Trouble Pilgrims are Pete Holidai, Steve Rapid and Johnny Bonnie (formerly of the Radiators From Space) with bassist Paddy Goodwin and guitarist Tony St Ledger. The band has emerged from The Radiators From Space after that band’s demise following the untimely passing of their friend and founder member Philip Chevron. The Trouble Pilgrims feature material from all of the Radiators from Space albums…”
