I was at Donal Dineen’s Ode to Radio for Culture Night on Friday and guest Angkorwat mentioned an Arthur Russell night that’s coming up in Dublin in late October. A bit of googling has turned up an event page on Bodytonic’s site that mentions a great line up with contributions from Tim Lawrence, Jim Carroll, David Kitt, TR-One, Angkorwat (obv), Patrick Kelleher, School Tour, Hulk and more, on Sun 30th October. Looks like there’ll be a screening of the Wild Combination documentary, though there’s no stage times etc as yet. Arthur Russell was such a wonderful, diverse, exciting musicians that it looks like a great night- one for the diary for sure.
And any excuse to post my favourite Arthur Russell track is a good one. He’s one of my favourite discoveries of the last six or seven years, made courtesy of Dineen, who in turn was put on to him by David Kitt, who’s playing on the 30th – nice.
I really like this idea from Project Arts Centre – they’re recruiting a guest blogger for the Winter Season (something they’ve done in the past) who will blog about the season of events in return for access to all the shows (with a friend) and backstage access to all the artists. It’s obviously a big win for project, but it could really benefit someone who wants to get into criticism, arts journalism, or any aspect of theatre production in fact, as it gives you so much access to a whole season of work, how it’s presented, what the programming threads are, how it’s received and so on.
Applications now open, deadline 30th September
Update: Just spotted this one online too – HWCH are looking for a guest blogger via Mulley Communications which is a great gig for music fans. Great way to expose yourself to a diversity of irish acts.
Another fantastic sounding night has been crafted by those young hearts, and it sounds like the ideal way to beat those monday back to work blues.
An intriguing line up of :
Michael D. Higgins
Belinda McKeon
Paul Muldoon
Micheál Ó’Muircheartaigh
Eamon Sweeney (Swench)
who will each take their turn to talk about Football/The Hearts Yearning, joined at various points by musical interludes from Margie Lewis, Barry McCormack and the excellent Cian Nugent.
The Young Hearts events are always worth a look, especially if you want to discover new things. This line up has to be the envy of any literary festival, though to be honest, I’d go just to hear Micheál Ó’Muircheartaigh talk.
Doors are at 8.15pm, starts around 8.30pm on Monday 29th August, 2011, at The Unitarian Church, 112 St. Stephen’s Green West, Dublin 2.
Admission 10euros.
Tea and cake will be served.
