Sunday week (22 May) is the next Quigley Concert, when Newry Chamber Music presents The Schumann Quartet in the beautiful surroundings of Slieve Gullion Courtyard, Dromintee.
Festivals
Summer Sessions
From this time of year on, our overseas visitors – and returned emigrants – will be here on holiday. You might need reminding of the venues of the traditional music sessions : that is, where to find good traditional music, sing-songs and excellent company.
Quigley February Concert
You have to give great credit to the Quigley family for their ongoing efforts to present to the great Newry public the best of music in as varied a selection of settings as feasible and across all communities.
Lislea’s 30th Anniversary
Lislea is a beautiful townland just outside of Camlough in South Armagh that has spawned one of the most talented and successful amateur Drama teams in the whole of Ireland.
The Brennans
The best traditional sessions are now in Rostrevor (weren’t they always?) and we had a great time last night in the Corner House in the company of Alfie and Mary Corr, Liam Farrell and Matthew and Claire McGrath. There were a few singers from the floor, as always. Quiet night.
Rebekah Coffey at Midnight Mass
Midnight Mass at St Catherine’s (Dominican) Church in Newry this year of 2010 will prove to be very special indeed.
Quigley Christmas Concert
I’m giving you fair warning! The Christmas Quigley Concert is a sell-out every year, and with good reason. So book now at Sean Hollywood Arts Centre (30313180) or direct from Newry Chamber Music (3030830482).
Quigley’s Album
I have often extolled on this site the musical virtues of brother and sister, David and Joanne Quigley, but, for those of you unable to make their wonderful Newry concerts, I have not, until now, been able to recommend a recording.
Little Women by Newpoint
Be advised of a fantastic production at Sean Hollywood Arts Centre from tonight (Tuesday) until Saturday. You really ought to go!
