Féile Welcome Mamma Mia! Here I go again! Yes, I have to repeat myself when describing last year – Féile 2010’s programme is the best ever! Eleven days and nights of awesome music, comedy, drama and major speakers to discuss politics, journalism and literature. We have a broad range of art exhibitions, many based in the wonderful setting of St Mary’s University College. Right away I anticipate many complaints because so many interesting events are clashing. It just cannot be helped and it is a problem that comes with success. From marquee nights in Bank Square and dedicated ‘trad nights’ around that quarter, to the converted Leisure Centre in Andersonstown for the big gigs and dances, to the dramas being staged across the West, not to mention local entertainment in bars and clubs, people will not be stuck for choice. We are honoured to host in St Mary’s University College, Nobel Literature Laureate Seamus Heaney who will be giving a reading dedicated to his former headmaster from his student teacher days in St Thomas’s, Michael McLaverty. And we have international star and son of Beechmount, musician Brian Kennedy, reading at Scribes at the West, and Irvine Welsh, author of the best-selling book ‘Trainspotting’, speaking in St Mary’s. For our Finale we look back to the Eighties with pop icons ABC lifting the roof in Andytown. But before that, many soles will be blistered ‘Jump [ing] Around’ to the sound of GrammyAward winning artist, Everlast. Again, you have a vast array of choice – Damien Dempsey, Michelle Shocked, Gemma Hayes [one of Ireland’s best singer/songwriters]; symphony music à la the Russian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra in Clonard. West Belfast was sorry to see the closure of InBev – our main community partner, based on the Glen Road – but we are happy to report that after a series of meetings the company has bequeathed to Féile a five-year legacy fund which stabilises our organisation and our four annual festivals in the medium term. We carried out a very successful training [through art] programme for the staff of ‘Tennents’ and we believe that both parties benefit from this creative and dynamic partnership. The other good news has been the announcement of the twinning of Féile an Phobail with the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival [see page 7] and with assistance from Co-operation Ireland, we plan to engage on many joint ventures, pooling ideas and human resources, and organising exchange schemes for young people from both cities. A special word of thanks must go to all the community organisations and artists who have been working on the ground creating the local events which are the backbone of our great festival.The Upper Springfield’s local festival is a trail blazer and an example to other areas of what can be done. Anyone ready to take them on during our opening Carnival Parade?! Have great craic, enjoy yourselves, and beware of that Great White basking behind Andytown Leisure Centre! Sean Paul O’Hare, Director, Féile an Phobail

Fáilte Féile Mamma Mia! Seo mé arís! Is ea. Caithfidh mé é a rá arís agus mé ag déanamh cur síos ar an bhliain seo caite – Is é clár Féile 2010 an clár is fearr choíche! Aon lá agus oíche déag de cheol, coiméide, dráma iontach agus príomhchainteoirí iontacha le polaitíocht, iriseoireacht agus litríocht a phlé. Beidh réimse leathan taispeántas ealaíne againn, an chuid is mó díobh suite i gColáiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire.. Tá mé ag feitheamh lena lán gearán láithreach mar go mbeidh cuid mhór ócáidí suimiúla ag teacht salach ar a chéile. Níl neart air agus is fadhb í a thagann le rath. Ó na oícheanta ollphubaill i gCearnóg Bainc agus na hoícheanta tiomnaithe ‘ceol traidisiúnta’ thart ar an cheathrú, an tSólann athchóirithe i mBaile Andarsan do na ceolchoirmeacha agus na damhsaí móra go dtí na drámaí a bheidh á dtaibhiú ar fud an Iarthair, agus an tsiamsaíocht áitiúil a bheidh ar fáil sna beáir agus clubanna, beidh rogha ag daoine. Is mór an onóir dúinn go mbeidh an File Nobel Seamus Heaney ag léamh filíochta tiomnaithe dá iarphríomhoide Michael McLaverty óna laethanta i Naomh Tomás mar ábhar múinteora, i gColáiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire. Beidh réalta idirnáisiúnta agus mac Ard na bhFeá, an ceoltóir Brian Kennedy, ag léamh ag Scríobhaithe ag an West, agus go mbeidh údar an leabhar sárdhíolta ‘Trainspotting’, Irvine Welsh, ag caint i Naomh Muire chomh maith. Don chríoch, amharcann muid siar go dti na hOchtóidí nuair a bheidh na híocónaigh popcheoil ABC ag gabháil cheoil i mBaile Andarsan. Roimhe sin áfach, beidh spuaiceanna ar chuid mhór bonn choise as a bheith ag ‘Léim Thart’ le fuaim an taibheora Everlast a bhfuil Gradam Grammy bainte aige. Arís beidh rogha mhaith éagsúil agat– Damien Dempsey, Michelle Shocked, Gemma Hayes [duine de na hamhránaithe/scríbhneoirí amhrán is fearr in Éirinn] agus ceol siansach ó Cheolfhoireann Fhiolarmónach na Rúise. i Mainistir Chluain Ard. Bhí brón ar dhaoine i mBéal Feirste Thiar gur dhruid InBev – ár bpríomhpháirtnéir pobail, suite ar Bhóthar an Ghleanna – ach tá muid sásta a rá, i ndiaidh sraith cruinnithe gur thug an comhlacht ciste oidhreachta cúig bliana do Féile a dhaingníonn ár n-eagras agus na ceithre fhéile bliantúla atá againn sa mheántéarma. Rinne muid clár traenála an-rathúil [trí ealaín] le hoibrithe ‘Tennents’ agus creideann muid go mbainfidh an dá pháirtí sochar as an pháirtíocht chruthaitheach dinimiciúil seo. Is é an dea-scéal eile fógairt an naisc idir Féile an Phobail le Féile Foghlaim ar feadh an tSaoil Chorcaí [féach ar leathanach 7] agus le cuidiú ó Co-operation Ireland, beidh sé ar intinn againn páirt a ghlacadh ina lán comhfhiontar, smaointe agus acmhainní daonna a thabhairt le chéile agus scéimeanna malairte a eagrú do dhaoine óga ón dá chathair. Caithfidh mé buíochas speisialta a ghabháil leis na heagrais pobail agus na healaíontóirí go léir a bhí ag obair ar an talamh na ag cruthú na n-ócáidí áitiúla mar is iad dúshraith ár bhféile iontach iad. Is ceannródaí í féile áitiúil Bhóthar Chluanaí Uachtarach agus is eiseamláir í do cheanatair eile ar is féidir leat a dhéanamh. Ar mhaith le duine ar bith dul in iomaíocht leo i rith ár bParáid Oscailte Lá Carnabhail? Bíodh craic mhaith agaibh, bainigí sult as agus bígí ar bhur bhfaichill ar an Siorc Bhán Mhór atá ag fanacht ag cúl Shólann Bhaile Andarsan! Sean Paul O’Hare, Stiúrthóir, Féile an Phobail

Foreword

Réamhfhocal

For generations Tennent’s has been at the heart of West Belfast and it is entirely appropriate that we should reinforce that link with continued support for Féile an Phobail, Ireland’s largest community arts festival.

Le glúnta anuas bhí Tennent’s ag croílár Bhéal Feirste Thiar agus tá sé go hiomlán ceart go neartaíonn muid an nasc le tacaíocht leanúnach a thabhairt do Féile an Phobail, an fhéile ealaíona pobail is mó in Éirinn. Bhí muid páirteach sa phobal, mar chuid den chraic, agus páirteach in Féile an Phobail óna laethanta luatha, 22 bliain ó shin. I rith an ama sin, bhí roinnt féiniúlachtaí corparáideacha againn, ag athrú ó Bass Ireland... go Interbrew... go InBev... go Anheuser-Busch InBev. Sa lá atá inniu, tháinig Tennent’s NI as an tréimhse athraithe sin, ainm a bhfuil dáimh láidir aige anseo le daoine i mBéal Feirste Thiar.

We have been part of the community, part of the craic and part of Féile an Phobail from its earliest days, 22 years ago. Over that time we have had a number of corporate identities, changing from Bass Ireland... to Interbrew... to InBev... to Anheuser-Busch InBev. Today we have emerged from that period of change as Tennent’s NI, a name which has strong resonance here in West Belfast. We are proud of our traditions and recognise that the firm foundations of our business, for so long based at The Ulster Brewery on the Glen Road, owe much to the strength, resilience and the commitment of the people of West Belfast. For almost 120 years the Ulster Brewery staff, and indeed the wider community of West Belfast, helped us to build this great business. In recognition and in thanks, our departure from that site has been marked by a significant investment into West Belfast as our support of Féile an Phobail over the next four years will demonstrate. Féile an Phobail shows just how much can be achieved through the combination of community spirit and creativity and, once again, we look forward to a festival which can truly be described as world class. Our congratulations go to all those whose hard work, enthusiasm and commitment shape and manage this fantastic, diverse programme of events and attractions. Their passion has put West Belfast centre stage in the most positive light possible. We wish you continued success with the 2010 programme and thank you for inviting us to be part of the 23rd Féile an Phobail. Tom McCusker Managing Director Tennent’s NI

Tá muid bródúil as ár dtraidisiúin agus aithníonn muid go bhfuil dúsraitheanna daingne ár ngnó, a bhí suite le fada ag Grúdlann Uladh ar Bhóthar an Ghleanna, faoi chomaoin ag neart, acmhainneacht agus tiomantas mhuintir Bhéal Feirste Thiar. Le beagnach 120 bliain, chuidigh oibrithe Ghrúdlann Uladh agus leoga, muintir Bhéal Feirste Thiar linn an gnó iontach seo a fhorbairt. Mar aitheantas agus le buíochas, nuair a bhog muid ón suíomh sin chuir muid infheistíocht mhór thábhachtach I mBéal Feirste Thiar mar a léiriú dár dtacaíocht do Féile an Phobail sna ceithre bliana amach anseo. Léiríonn Féile an Phobail an méid is féidir leat a bhaint amach trí mheascán de spiorad agus cruthaitheacht an phobail, agus arís eile, tá muid ag súil le féile nach féidir leat cur síos a dheanamh uirthi ach mar fhéile den scoth. Tréaslaíonn muid le hobair dhian, díograis agus tiomantas iad siúd a mhúnlaíonn agus a bhainistíonn an clár imeachtaí agus áiteanna is díol spéise iontach agus ilghnéitheach seo. Chuir a ndíograis Béal Feirste Thiar chun tosaigh ar an bhealach is dearfaí. Guíonn muid rath leanúnach oraibh le clár 2010 agus gabhann muid buíochas libh as cuireadh a thabhairt dúinn le bheith páirteach sa 23ú Féile an Phobail.

Féile an Phobail & Cork’s Lifelong Learning Festival

Féile & Féile um Fhoghlaim ar feadh an tSaoil Chorcaí

At Cork’s Lifelong Learning Festival in March it was announced that it is twinning with Féile an Phobail, with Lord Mayor of Cork, Dara Murphy and Féile Director Sean Paul O’Hare, launching the initiative.The first event to cement the new relationship took place in Belfast when Pádraig O Duinnín of Cork’s Meitheal Mara gave a talk on traditional boats of Ireland during Féile an Earraigh and a future currach building project. Later, Belfast writer Tim Brannigan spoke at Cork’s ‘Scribes in the Commons’.

I mí Mhárta, fógraíodh go raibh Féile um Fhoghlaim ar feadh an tSaoil Chorcaí ag dul nasc a dhéanamh le Féile an Phobail, agus sheol Ard-Mhéara Chorcaí Dara Murphy móide Stiúrthóir Féile an tionscnamh.Tharlaigh an chéad imeacht leis an chaidreamh a neartú i mBéal Feirste nuair a rinne Pádraig Ó Duinnín ó Meitheal Mara Chorcaí caint ar bháid thraidisiúnta na hÉireann agus ar tionscadal tógála curach i rith Féile an Earraigh. Níos moille labhair an scríbhneoir Feirsteach Tim Brannigan ag ‘Scribes in the Commons’ i gCorcaigh.

The two festivals share in common a huge community element, particularly aimed at the disadvantaged, and use all available space within their area – particularly parks, leisure centres, sports grounds, schools and colleges. Over the last couple of years the Cork festival has showcased Belfast connections, celebrating in 2008 a three-year Co-operation Ireland ‘Beyond Borders’ project, which also involved young people from loyalist areas. The Féile/Cork twinning project is backed by Co-operation Ireland’s Cork branch and the organisation’s Building Peace Initiative which aims to promote relationships between the southern and northern cities and is supported by Cork City Council and the City of Cork Vocational Education Committee – who are also the festival’s main sponsors. The Belfast and Cork festivals hope to increasingly cooperate on youth exchanges, including promoting bands and performers, and sporting events such as the cities’ marathons. Twinning is an opportunity for both festivals and cities to learn from each other and to foster new relationships through co-operation and exchanges. Tina Neylon, Coordinator Cork Lifelong Learning Festival

Tá gné mhór pobail ag an dá fhéile, dírithe ach go háirithe ar dhaoine faoi mhíbhuntáiste, agus úsáideann siad na spásanna go léir atá ar fáil laistigh dá gceantar – go háirithe páirceanna, sólanna, tailte spóirt, scoileanna agus coláistí. Le cúpla bliain anuas, chuir féile Chorcaí naisc Bhéal Feirste chun cinn, ag ceiliúradh tionscadal trí bliana ‘Beyond Borders’ de chuid Co-operation Ireland inar ghlac daoine óga ó cheantair dílseoirí páirt. Tacaíonn brainse Chorcaí de Co-operation Ireland agus Tionscnamh Forbairt Síochána an eagrais a bhfuil sé mar aidhm aige na caidrimh idir cathracha ó dheas agus ó thuaidh a chur chun cinn, leis an tionscadal nasctha Féile/Chorcaí agus tacaíonn Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí agus Coiste Gairmoideachais Chathair Chorcaí – ar príomhurraí na féile iad fosta, leis.Tá súil ag féilte Bhéal Feirste agus Chorcaí níos mó comhoibrithe a dhéanamh ar mhalartú ógra, agus ar bhannaí, taibheoirí agus imeachtaí spóirt amhail maratóin na gcathracha a chur chun cinn chomh maith. Is deis é an nasc seo leis an dá fhéile agus an dá chathair foghlaim óna chéile agus le caidrimh nua a fhorbairt trí chomhoibriú agus trí mhalartuithe. Tina Neylon, Comhordaitheoir Fhéile um Fhoghlaim ar feadh an tSaoil Chorcaí

Damien Dempsey Supported by Gráinne Holland & Friends Bank Square Marquee Friday 30th July, Doors 8pm Born in Donaghmede on Dublin’s Northside, Damien Dempsey is the voice that his youthful audience identify with, a singer who has emerged from the rough working class streets with his powerful self-belief intact. Morrissey said of Damien: “To hear him sing is to realise the magnitude of his astounding voice and heart.The songs are true, and his is the best and often the saddest voice of this generation.” And Bono had this to say: “When he opens his mouth – it’s like the end of the world.” Such is his renown that Damien has played with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, U2 and The Pogues. Belfast singer Gráinne Holland brings amazing vocal strength and talent to an already impressive instrumental line-up.Traditional Gaelic songs are presented in a modern and fresh context while instrumental sets are given new life. Tickets £10. Available at all Féile outlets. Bar until 1am. Sponsored by Foras na Gaeilge

Dúirt Morrissey faoi Damien: “agus tú ag éisteacht leis ag ceol aithníonn tú méid a ghutha agus a chroí iontach.Tá a chuid amhrán fíor, tá an guth is fearr agus go minic is brónaí den ghlúin seo aige.” Dúirt Bono seo fosta: “Nuair a osclaíonn sé a bhéal– ta sé cosúil le deireadh an domhain.” Tá an clú agus an cháil ar Damien gur sheinn sé le Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, U2 agus The Pogues.

Michelle Shocked Gemma Hayes Plus support from Brigid O'Neill Trio Bank Square Marquee Sunday 1st August, Doors 8pm Michelle Shocked – – traveller, troubadour, a “picker-poet,” as they say in Texas. As a young feminist, she left Texas to travel, Kerouacstyle, and was caught up in Reagan-era grassroots politics. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a Kerrville Folk Festival campfire on a Sony Walkman. Released in England as ‘The Texas Campfire Tapes’ without Shocked’s authority, its success abroad enticed Mercury Records to offer the newcomer a recording contract. - “The most sophisticated hillbilly you’ll ever meet.” Gemma Hayes was cast into the international spotlight with her Mercury Prize-nominated debut album, Night on My Side. Since then, her unique musical style - a blend of rock, folk and electronica - has continued to impress, twice earning her nods as Ireland's best female artist. Brigid O'Neill is from Downpatrick and has performed on stages all over the world in groups such as Cuigear Ban, Wildflower and Deanta. Brigid is currently performing with Jim Rainey (guitar) and Bill Johnston (double bass).

Ainmníodh chéad albam Gemma Hayes, ‘Night on My Side’, do Dhuais Mercury. Rinneadh cur síos uirthi, lena stíl uathúil cheoil – meascán de roccheol, ceol na ndaoine agus ceol leictreonach, mar an bhancheoltóir is fearr in Éirinn. Úsáideadh a cuid ceoil I scannáin agus ar an teilifís, ‘Grey’s Anatomy” agus “One Tree Hill.” san aireamh.

Addressing Historic Institutional Child Abuse St Mary’s University College Friday 6th August, 1pm Speaker – Colm O’Gorman Steps towards truth and justice. Lessons from the Southern Irish experience on how best to ensure proper acknowledgment and accountability for historic child abuse in and beyond church institutions. In 1998 Colm O’Gorman launched a legal case against the Catholic Church as a result of his experiences of sexual abuse at the hands of one of its priests when he was a teenager. His story, told in a BBC documentary, ‘Suing the Pope’, resulted in the resignation of the Bishop of Ferns Dr Brendan Comiskey. Colm founded ‘One in Four’ to support women and men who have experienced sexual violence and was instrumental in the establishment of the Ferns Inquiry, the first state investigation into clerical sexual abuse in Ireland. In February 2008, Colm was appointed Executive Director of Amnesty International Ireland. He is also the author of the best selling memoir, ‘Beyond Belief ’. Chair– Professor Bill Rolston.

Sam Thompson Rededication of the grave of Sam Thompson City Cemetery Guest Speaker – Jimmy Ellis Friday 30th July, 12 noon Sam Thompson, born in Ballymacarret, was a socialist and trade unionist whose play, ‘Over The Bridge’, charted the tragic course of a sectarian dispute in the shipyard. Offered to James – Jimmy – Ellis, director of the Ulster Group Theatre in 1958, the production immediately ran into difficulties when J. Ritchie McKee (Board of Directors) claimed that it would “offend and affront every section of the public”. On principle, Ellis resigned and formed his own company.The play finally opened in 1960 directed by Ellis with an incredible box office of 42,000 during its six-week run. Last year, playwright Martin Lynch reprised ‘Over The Bridge’, and today Jimmy Ellis will rededicate the grave of his old friend. Jimmy Ellis is one of the finest actors to emerge from the North – and is affectionately recalled for his character as Bert Lynch in ‘Z Cars’ and from the ‘Billy’ trilogy. Jimmy is also a writer of poems and prose and a translator. His book, ‘Over The Bridge – An EyeWitness Account’, will be published this autumn. Chairperson – Tom Hartley.

Nuair a tugadh do James – Jimmy – Ellis, stiúrthóir Amharclann Ghrúpa Uladh in 1958, bhí deacrachtaí láithreach sa léiriú nuair a d’éiligh (Bord na Stiúrthóirí) “go gcuirfeadh sé olc ar agus go maslódh sé gach duine sa phobal” Ar bhonn prionsabail, d’éirigh Ellis as agus chuir sé a chompántas féin ar bun. D’oscail an dráma faoi dheireadh in 1960 agus Ellis á stiúradh agus i rith a sé seachtaine ar an ardán tháinig méid sáriontach de 42,000 duine le hamharc ar an drama. Anuraidh, athrinne an drámadóir ‘Over The Bridge’, agus inniu atiomnóidh Jimmy Ellis uaigh a sheancharad. Tá Jimmy Ellis ar dhuine de na haisteoirí is fearr dar tháinig riamh ón Tuuaisceart– agus athchuimhítear go ceanúil ar a charachtar Bert Lynch in ‘Z Cars’ agus air ó thríológ ‘Billy’. Is scríbhneoir dánta agus próis agus is aistritheoir é Jimmy. Foilseofar a leabhar, ‘Over The Bridge – An Eye-Witness Account’, san fhómhar. Cathaoirleach– Tom Hartley.

‘Asking For Trouble’

St Mary’s University College Saturday 31st July, 11am Renowned critic, reviewer and anthologist Patricia Craig was born and educated in Belfast, including St Dominic’s [Falls Road], from where she was dismissed for “carrying on” with boys in the Gaeltacht! Her experience and expulsion from there, and how that event had a profound impact on her life, featured in her 2007 memoir ‘Asking for Trouble’. Patricia has edited ‘The Rattle of the North: An Anthology of Ulster Prose’, ‘The Belfast Anthology’ and ‘The Ulster Anthology’. In ‘The Oxford Book of Ireland’ she compiled a literary anthology of the cultural and social development of Ireland through the work of poets, novelists, historians and social commentators. She has written the authorised biography of Brian Moore. At present she is working on a book provisionally entitled ‘Scullabogue’ whose central aim is to undermine sectarianism by uncovering connections across various areas of division in the North of Ireland. Patricia will talk about her work in the literary arts and her life after the Gaeltacht!

Brian Kennedy, Tony Macaulay, Mags Treanor. Mags Treanor is a poet, fiction writer and story teller based in the West of Ireland. Her work has been anthologised in Ireland and America and broadcast on RTE. Mags cohosts the ‘Loose Lips Story Slam’ with comedian Tommy Tiernan and has performed at the Electric Picnic and the Festival of World Cultures. In her free time she single-handedly raises her three children, works as a business consultant and hits a mighty shuttlecock!

Scribes at the West, The West Club, Thursday 5th August, 3.30 – 6pm Doors open at 3.15pm, close at 3.45pm sharp!

“It’s Belfast, 1975, and a 12-year-old boy wearing Brut aftershave has just been appointed paperboy to the Upper Shankill by Oul’ Mac.The smell of Tayto cheese and onion crisps is on his breath, and the aroma of fresh fish suppers and burning doubledecker busses is in the air. It is the era of platform shoes and parallel trousers, and Paperboy is taking guitar lessons with Mr Rowing so he can play along to the Bay City Rollers… The streets are ruled by the IRA and the UDA, but Paperboy is under the spell of a less threatening acronym: ABBA.” Author of the beguiling memoir ‘Paperboy’, writer and broadcaster Tony Macaulay was born on the Shankill Road and now works for peace and reconciliation at home and abroad. Singer/songwriter/performer/international star Brian Kennedy is loved and admired for his voice, music and guitar. But behind the facade, there’s a different story and it was a long, tough haul from the Falls Road, his birthplace, with early years spent at the height of the Troubles and the screech of sirens, rather than music, ringing in his ears. In 2002 two of Brian’s short story appeared in the anthology, ‘Breaking The Skin’. His debut novel ‘The Arrival of Fergal Flynn’ in 2004 shot to No.3 in the Irish Best Seller list.This autumn sees the publication of a long-awaited memoir titled ‘Harmonising With Ambulances’.

Dramas

‘The same old story?’

‘An seanscéal céanna?’

Various busy locations, various times Fifty years ago demonstrators in Sharpeville, protesting against the infamous ‘pass laws’ were shot down by the apartheid regime. Fifty years on Irish airports from Belfast to Shannon divide Europeans and non-Europeans into separate channels and black people are increasingly being singled out for identity checks at ports (and even on Belfast-Dublin buses) on the basis of their skin colour. West Belfast knows only too well about being treated as a ‘suspect’ community, the foundation of Féile an Phobail in 1988 being part of the fight-back. Sadly, this historical experience is now the experience of migrants, refugees and others coming to live in Belfast and beyond. The West Against Racism Network (WARN) has launched an Anti Racism Charter ‘Cairt Fhrith-Chiniochais Iathar Bheal Feirste’ in an effort to combat all forms of racism and to foster an active anti-racist culture. Now, WARN in partnership with Belfast’s Kabosh Theatre will use site-specific theatre to bring alive the issues at the heart of institutionalised racism and how our perception of difference is shaped.Throughout the Féile look out for a range of dramatic events in unusual locations and listen in to Féile FM.

Áiteanna gnóthacha éagsúla, amanna éagsúla Caoga bliain ó shin, scaoil an réimeas críochdheighilte léirsitheoirí in Sharpeville le hurchair, agus iad ag léirsiú in éadan na ‘pass laws’ uafásacha. Caoga bliain níos moille roinneann aerfoirt Éireannacha ó Bhéal Feirste go dtí an tSionainn Eorpaigh agus neamhEorpaigh i mbealaí éagsúla agus tá méadú ar dhaoine gorma atá á roghnú do sheiceálacha aitheantais ag poirt (agus ar bhusanna Bheal Feirste go Baile Átha Cliath fiú) ar bhonn dath a gcraicinn.Tá a fhios go maith ag Béal Feirste Thiar ar an bhail a cuireadh air mar phobal ‘faoi amhras’, ach bhí bunú Féile an Phobail in 1988 mar chuid den troid ar ais. Ar an drochuair, is eispéaras imirceach, dídeanaithe agus dhaoine eile a bhogann le bheith ina gcónaí i mBéal Feirste agus lasmuigh, é an teispéaras stairiúil seo. Sheol Gréasán an Iarthair in éadan Ciníochais (GIÉC) ‘Cairt Fhrith-Chiniochais Iathar Bheal Feirste’ chun iarracht a dhéanamh le dul i ngleic le gach sort ciníochais agus le cultúr gníomhach frithchiníochais a chothú. I gcomhar le hAmharclann Kabosh Bhéal Feirste, úsáidfidh GIÉC an amharclann sainshuímh na ceisteanna ag croílár ciníochais institiúidigh agus leis an dóigh a múnlaítear ár léargas ar éagsúlacht a léiriú. Ar fud na Féile coinnigh súil amach do réimse imeachtaí drámata in áiteanna neamhghnáthacha agus éist le Féile FM.

Creationism for Dummies - by a Dummy Written by Alan McKee, Produced By Martin McSharry Roddy MacCorley Social Club, Glen Road Friday 30th – Saturday 31st July, 8pm This is not a scientific lecture.This is not stand-up. This is a hybrid monster created in a laboratory by a man who couldn’t pass his O-Level biology .Yet even he knows that creationism sounds like a fairytale. Creationism might sound like a unified theory – God made it all, right?

Her work has been published in The New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, Paris Match and The London Independent Magazine.

Some of her images have been used as postage stamps in France to bring awareness to the need to stop violence against women. Her book, ‘Flores en el Desierto’, is about the search for ‘the disappeared’ during the Chilean coup of 1973. A prolific campaigner, her Féile exhibition raises awareness of the horrendous sexual genocide of women and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo.The exhibit will run alongside a number of events to highlight and support the Women of the Congo and the Panzi Hospital which treats the victims of a genocidal war that has claimed the lives of more than four million and has gone largely unreported. Paula Allen has been visiting Ireland for almost thirty years and dedicates her exhibition to her beloved Belfast family, the Groves.

World upside Down

Heather Wilson Heather showcases her amazing works using steel, glass and light as a medium. ‘Echo and Narcissus’- mirror polished stainless steel & glass; ‘World upside Down’ – photograph; ‘Flicker’ – glass, duratran & light; ‘Hesitate’ – glass, duratran and light; and, ‘Hesitate’ – glass, duratran & light. “My work,” says Heather, “attempts to articulate little foretastes of the spine-tingling ‘unknown’ that make life fascinating… it’s not about mere existence, it’s about absorbing every drop of childlike pleasure… seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, the reality in things we only sense … and catching the magic of our own involvement in it.”

Conflicting Interests Originally a farmer from Cookstown, Johnston Mitchell gained a degree in sculpture and a Masters in Art & Design. He has exhibited at the prestigious International Festival of Glass in Stourbridge. His aim has been to show conflict by using materials such as steel, glass and plaster. His juxtaposition of the materials entices the viewer to examine ever closer and see something new as they move around each piece of work.This current work with two conflicting materials combined in an extremely long and difficult process show that these materials can work together even if it is a fragile bond.

‘Flicker’

Heather Wilson Taispeánann Heather a saothair iontacha ag úsáid cruaiche, gloine agus solas mar mheán. ‘Echo and Narcissus’- cruach dhosmálta scáthánsnasta & gloine; ‘World upside Down’ – grianghraf; ‘Flicker’ – gloine, duratran & solas; ‘Hesitate’ – gloine, duratran agus solas; agus, ‘Hesitate’ – gloine, duratran & solas. “Mo shaothar,” a deir Heather, “iarrachtaí le réamhbhlastáin bheaga den rud éigin spreagúil ‘gan aithne’a dhéanann rud fíorspéisiúil den saol a chur i bhfriotal … níl sé faoi le bheith ann, tá sé faoi gach deor de phléisiúr pháistiúil a shú … ag feiceáil an ruda iontach sa ghnáthrud, an réaltacht sna rudaí a mhothaíonn muid amháin … agus ag tuiscint draíocht ár rannpháirteachais ann.”

Suimeanna Contrártha B’fheirmeoir as an Chorr Chríochach ag an tús é, Johnston Mitchell a fuair céim i ndealbhóireacht agus a fuair céim Mháistreachta in Ealaín agus Dearadh. Bhí taispeántas aige san Fhéile Idirnáisiúnta Gloine chlúiteach in Stourbridge. Is í an aidhm atá aige coimhlint a léiriú ag úsáid ábhar amhail cruach, gloine agus plástar. Meallann neas-suíomh na n-ábhar an bhreathnóir scrúdú níos mine a dhéanamh agus rud éigin nua a fheiceáil agus iad ag bogadh thart ar gach saothar. Léiríonn an saothar reatha seo le dhá ábhar chontrárthachta le chéile i bpróiseas iontach fada agus deacair gur féidir leis na hábhair seo oibriú le chéile fiú más nasc sobhriste é.

Women in Conflict: Collateral Damage Exhibition Jenny Matthews

Mná i gCoimhlint: Taispeántas Damáiste Chomhthaobhaigh Jenny Matthews

Amnesty International has been campaigning globally against violence against women for five years. Extensive research has shown how, long after the peace has been brokered, conflicts continue to exact a disproportionate impact on women. Documentary photographer Jenny Matthews has travelled all over the world, working for human rights and development organisations. Her photography has been published in a wide range of magazines including Marie Claire, Guardian Weekend, Sunday Times, the Independent, and Night and Day. Her book ‘Women and War’ was published in 2003 and she has exhibited her work internationally. These images, taken in different conflicts around the world, not only demonstrate the lasting legacy of conflict, but highlight the consistent trend of inequality and discrimination that feeds conflict and undermines our responses.

Bhí Amnesty International ag feachtasú go domhanda in éadan foréigin ar mhná le cúig bliana. Léirigh taighde forleathan an bealach a bhfuil tionchar díréireach ag coimhlintí ar mhná, fiú agus an tsíocháin bainte amach le fada.Thaistil an grianghrafadóir faisnéise Jenny Matthews ar fud an domhain ag obair ar son chearta an duine agus d’eagrais forbartha. Foilsíodh a grianghrafanna i réimse leathan irisí Marie Claire, Guardian Weekend, Sunday Times, an Independent, agus Night and Day san áireamh. Foilsíodh a leabhar ‘Women and War’ in 2003 agus bhí a cuid saothair ar taispeáint go hidirnáisiúnta. Ní amháin go léiríonn na híomhánna, a glacadh i gcoimhlintí éagsúla ar fud an domhain, oidhreacht bhuan coimhlinte, ach cuireann siad béim ar nós comhsheasmhach neamhionannais agus leithcheala a chothaíonn coimlint agus a bhaineann an bonn dár bhfreagairtí.

WheelWorks Light Writing Project During the dark nights of winter, young people from the junior group at New Lodge Arts Academy in North Belfast used torches, coloured gels and digital photography to create these amazing ‘light graffiti’ images around their local neighbourhood.This was a brand new prototype project which developed participants’ skills in digital photography, film software packages and creative thinking. Sessions were based in the young people’s community centre and onboard the ArtCart, WheelWorks’ unique, purpose-built mobile arts vehicle. “This project fitted in perfectly to our programme, offering new opportunities and art forms through taster sessions is what New Lodge Arts is all about.” Thanks go to all at New Lodge Arts, especially Cecilia Heron, WheelWorks artist Veronica Tate and WheelWorks ArtCart drivers Donal McCann and Mary McAnespie.

Tony Bell Beechmount man Tony Bell first began painting in the Cages of Long Kesh. After attending Art College in the late 70s he then worked as a designer in various advertising agencies but didn’t have the opportunities to return to his first love - painting. In recent years he began painting again. He has had pictures purchased by Gerry Adams, presented to Eamon ó Cúiv [Minister for Arts and Culture in the South] and also shown Nelson McCausland [Minister for Arts and Culture in the North] his work on a recent private visit to one of his exhibitions.

Solidarity with the Basque Country The formation of the ‘Don’t Extradite the Basques Campaign’ created a momentum not seen in Ireland for many years and created an awareness of the ongoing conflict within the Basque Country, something that is so often suppressed by the media. This exhibition documents the work of the campaign.

‘HEIST’ Drama produced by Féile an Phobail Youth Arts Sub Group & Colin Youth Development Centre. Monday 2nd to Tuesday 3rd, Féile week. See Dramas, page 57

An Audience with Fiachra Sheridan & Tim Brannigan St Mary’s University College Friday 6th August, 2pm Fiachra, is a school teacher and author whose debut novel, ‘The Runners’, earned him comparisons with Roddy Doyle. His novel follows the adventures of Bobby and his best friend Jay, two lively 13-year-olds growing up in inner-city Dublin in the 1980s. Fiachra grew up in Dublin’s north inner city and he is the son of writer and playwright Peter Sheridan and nephew of film director Jim Sheridan. Tim Brannigan’s powerful memoir, ‘Where Are You Really From?’, shot to number one in Waterstones after its publication and has earned Tim – who is black, from the Falls Road and served time in the IRA wings in the H-Blocks - praise for his honesty and humour and his devotion to his mother Peggy.This will prove to be a fascinating discussion.

Insíonn a úrsceal faoi eachtraí Bobby agus a chara is fearr Jay, beir ghasúr anamúla 13 bliain d’aois ag fás i lárchathair Bhaile Átha Cliath sna 1980í. D’fhás Fiachra aníos i lárchathair thuaidh Bhaile Átha Cliath agus ias mac an scríbhneora agus an drámadóra Peter Sheridan agus nia an stiúrthóir scannáin Jim Sheridan é. Chuaigh leabhar cuimhní cinn cumhachtach Tim Brannigan, ‘Where Are You Really From?’, go díreach chuig uimhir a haon in Waterstones i ndiaidh a fhoilsithe agus moladh Tim – is duine gorm é, is as Bóthar na bhFál é agus chaith sé tamall i Sciatháin Óglaigh na hÉireann sna H-Bhlocanna – as a mhacántacht, as a ghreann agus as an dúthracht dá mháthair Peggy.

We promise a night of electronic frolics until the early hours.

All for a cause bigger than us all - CAMARA, based at Townsend Street Belfast, which operates as a social enterprise in two distinct business lines: ‘Education Delivery’ and ‘Computer

Reuse’.The connection between these two, seemingly disparate activities is technology.They take in used computers from Irish companies and individuals, wipe their hard drives of data, refurbish and load them with educational software before setting them up as Learning Centres in schools in Africa and Ireland. CAMARA train teachers to use these computers as tools to improve the delivery of education to their students.The production of computer training and educational multimedia materials for use by teachers and children also goes hand in hand with this sterling work.

Children of all ages will be entertained with the exciting dramas, workshops and sports, along with bouncy castles, face painters and lots of other fun activities!
