Bhuaigh an dráma seo gradam ag Féile Amharclainne Imeallach Bhaile Átha Cliath anuraidh. Seo scéal faoin chéad grá atá ag déagóir atá fiosrach faoina inscne agus mar a chailltear an scéal daonna about the lighter side of loss, love and why Joan is a sna cinnlínte.

Largely written out of Irish history, this veteran of the Great War wants to tell his story on a cold Winter’s night in a Waterford bar.

An oíche seo tá sé i gceist againn roinnt cáirde de chuid Éamon ó phobal an cheoil a bhailiú san amharclann ar an oíche chun a shaol agus a shaothar a cheiliuradh sa doigh a shamhlaímid a shasódh é. Beidh ceol agus amhráín againn agus tabharfaimíd ár gcára chun cuimhne. Bí linn don oíche speisialta seo.
During the Summer, Belfast’s Irish language community suffered a body blow when we lost after a short illness our friend, Éamon Ó Faogáin. An accomplished musician, an inspirational teacher, a lover of all things Gaelach, Éamon will be missed especially at the seasonal “Oíche Síol”, a night when Irish speakers get together to chat, to sing a few songs and swap a few stories and to take part in the ‘Síol’ ballot. At the next Oíche Síol, on 8 October, we will gather again to celebrate the life and contribution of Éamon. Friends and fellow musicians will gather to sing a few songs and play a few tunes to help us call to mind Éamon’s ready smile and we will do this in a way befitting his memory. Join us for this very special night.

Cothrom na hoíche seo scór bliain ó shin a chuir TG4 — nó TnaG mar a bhí — tús leis an gcraoladh agus bhí ocáíd mhór sa Chultúrlann an oíche chéanna — agus tá cuid againn chomh sean is go rabhmar an oíche sin. Beidh ocáid mhór sa Chultúrlann arís i mbliana agus craoladh beo á dhéanamh le haghaidh clár TG4 a bheidh ag glacadh le míreanna ó gach chuid den tír agus go h-idirnáísiúnta chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar an gclochmhíle stairiúil seo i scéal an staisiúin.

It was on Halloween night 20 years ago that TG4 — or TnaG as it was — started broadcasting and we had a big night in the Cultúrlann to celebrate. Some of us are old enough to remember being at that event. Now, 20 years on, An Chultúrlann will host another celebration to mark this historic anniversary and the ceol agus craic from 216 Bóthar na bhFál will be shared in a unique broadcast on TG4 which willl feature items from all over Ireland and internationally.If you come in Halloween fancy dress, you could be in line for a prize!

Recognised artists such as Eimear Nic Roibeaird and other past pupils will present their art in the Cultúrlann’s main gallery. This promises to be an exciting and challenging exhibition — no less than Coláiste Feirste itself, Belfast’s first all Irish secondary school and one of Ireland’s leading meánscoileanna lán Ghaeilge.

Susannah Wilson 14 Deir. Fómhair - 25 Samhain 14 October - 25 November 7in: Ba í Susannah Wilson, céimí de chuid Coláiste Ealaíona Ollscoil Uladh, a bhuaigh Gradam Gerard Dillon i 2015 agus is é a duais ná taispeántas i nDánlann Gerard Dillon. Is saothar idirghníomhach — ach neamhleictreonach — a ghnóthaigh an duais do Susannah anuraidh, saothar a bhain stangadh as na moltóirí as a úire agus a shamlaíocht. Níl a fhios againn céard atá beartaithe aici don taispeántas seo ach táimid cinnte go mbeidh sé dúshlánach agus taithneamhach! 7pm: Susannah Wilson is the 2015 winner of the Gerard Dillon Prize, an award sponsored by the Cultúrlann to encourage the next generation of artists to follow in the footsteps of the artist for whom our main gallery is named.
Susannah surprised and amused our judges with the freshness and imagination of her interactive exhibition - though there wasn’t a computer in sight! We’re not sure what she’s planning for her prize, the exhibition which opens on 14 October, but we’re sure it will be challenging and entertaining.
