Somatic Movement has been described as Tai Chi on the floor. Classes are slow and meditative in nature. They are designed so that over the weeks your body releases itself from tension mode and you begin to step into relaxation mode. You will also learn a short home maintenance programme.
If you find yoga too strenuous yet you want to build flexibility and freedom in your movement if you want to improve your posture. If you want to release held tension in your body. If you want to wake up in the morning and not feel so stiff. Specifically designed to reeducate your muscles to remember how to lengthen, release and relax so that you can move with ease.

Gig Guide Hozier
Hear it. See it. Live it. Lumineers
Tickets: from €39.90 / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 10th December 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena
Tickets: from €49.90 / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 29th November 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena
Following his headline performance last night at Electric Picnic, Hozier will bring his Wasteland Baby! World Tour home to 3Arena on 10th December 2019. Special guest will be Freya Ridings, who has just released her debut album. Hozier is currently on a sold out tour of Europe, USA and Canada, including 5 sold out shows at London Palladium in October and 5 sold out shows at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom this November.
After the triumph of their UK and US No.1 record, The Lumineers are back with their third studio album, ‘III’
Hozier’s number one, debut studio album ‘Hozier’ was released in October 2014 and includes the multi-Platinum, Grammy-nominated anthem ‘Take Me To Church’, which later won ‘Best Song’ at the 2015 Ivor Novello Awards and has had over one billion streams to date. Last March, Hozier released his highly anticipated sophomore album Wasteland Baby!, and became the fourth Irish artist to score a No. 1 album in the USA as well as Ireland.
Bjork
A conceptual album presented across three chapters, ‘III’ is audacious: every note, every syllable, and every moment of silence in between is emotionally charged. The album is darker in tone anything they’ve done before, with each part centering on one main character from a fictitious family known as The Sparks, who span three generations in the album’s storyline. Mixing raw emotional themes with their ear-catching melodies, expressive vocals and trademark acoustic sound, ‘III’ moves masterly in artistic directions not yet travelled by the band. Written by the two founding members, Wesley Schultz and multi-instrumentalist Jeremiah Fraites, the album sees violinist/vocalist Lauren Jacobson officially joining the band, after playing on their previous two albums. Lauren completes the touring lineup that includes pianist Stelth Ulvang, bassist/backing vocalist Byron Isaacs and multi-instrumentalist Brandon Miller.
Jack Whitehall
Tickets: €46.00+ / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 17th & 18th December 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena Award-winning comedian, actor and writer Jack Whitehall has announced his biggest UK and Ireland arena tour ever for 2019 with his brand-new show. Following two complete sellout arena tours, Jack Whitehall Gets Around in 2014 and Jack Whitehall: At Large in 2017, which premiered on Netflix, JACK WHITEHALL: STOOD UP promises to be the most hilarious yet from one of comedy’s most electric talents. A joy to watch on stage and a comedian who is firmly on the road to becoming a global megastar, this show is not to be missed. Jack Whitehall said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be going back out on the road. There’s no feeling like standing up on stage in front of an arena full of strangers, and still being able to hear your dad heckle you.”
2fm Xmas Ball
Rod Stewart
Tickets: €39.50+ / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 21st December 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena Tickets: €49.50 / Doors:6.30pm / Date: 28th November 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena Björk announces the European premiere of Cornucopia with 8 upcoming shows including 3Arena on 28 November 2019. According to Björk, this is her “most elaborate stage concert yet, where the acoustic and digital will shake hands, encouraged by a bespoke team of collaborators. Cornucopia is probably as expansive as I will get ... an effort to find an equilibrium between all areas.” Cornucopia is digital theatre crafted around Björk’s most recent album ‘Utopia’. The show is created and produced by Björk, with music co-produced by Arca, and the staging directed by film director Lucrecia Martel. The digital visuals are by media artist Tobias Gremmler, co-creative. 10

Tickets: from €86.25 / Doors:6.30pm / Date: 4th & 5th December 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena In support of the release of his 30th studio album Blood Red Roses, Rod Stewart is hitting the road in 2019 and will be extending his tour to include a show at 3Arena on 4 December and due to phenomenal demand, an extra date on 5 December 2019. 2019 will see Rod’s first return to Ireland in three years following the success of two sold-out tours in 2016 – The Hits Stadium Tour and the arena tour “From Gasoline Alley to Another Country Hits.” With his signature voice, style and songwriting, Rod Stewart has transcended all genres of popular music, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the American standards; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career.
Following the success of last year’s event, which raised almost €500,000 RTÉ 2FM and MCD have come together again to host the biggest Xmas Ball yet in aid of ISPCC.

We all believe this – until it happens, and the you can guarantee that it will be the most awkward inopportune moment. You’ll be on the way to work, a meeting, a job interview, picking up the kids a first date or kids in the back of the car asking ‘are we there yet? Maintain your car so that you try and avoid it breaking down. Looking after your car means that you will ensure your car runs smoothly in the long run. It will also ensure that you will preserve its resale value if you decide to sell your new or used motor. We have compiled some of the highly recommended Professional Motoring Centre’s across Wicklow who can help you solve those everyday motoring problems.
Regular maintenance of your car can be a life saver. Not only will it give you peace of mind, it can avoid unnecessary breakdown. A good service history will also maintain your car’s resale value and minimise the need for costly repairs at NCT time. If your car is under manufacture warranty, services should be carried out in line with their advice; once a year, or every 20,000km for example. A SIMI garage should use genuine parts and most are happy to deal with any make and model.

Wheel alignment (also called tracking) is a suspension adjustment, which sets the angle of wheels to the manufacturers recommended specifications. The main benefits of the wheel alignment are: Extended tyre life, improved fuel economy, better and safer handling of the car. It is a wear and tear item, so checking it twice a year is recommended. Usually, the check is free, and the charge applies only if the wheel alignment is off.
What is tyre rotation and when should a car owner consider having it carried out?
Tyre rotation is moving the tyres from the front to the rear, or the other way around. With the front axle drive cars, tyres on the front are wearing faster than the rear ones. It
Tyres are your car’s first and only point of contact with the road surface, so the importance of regular upkeep and maintenance cannot be over stressed. Knowing when to replace your tyres is imperative but understanding the impact of incorrect wheel alignment and inflation and the benefit of tyre rotation will go a long way towards extending the life of your tyres.
When should a car owner consider replacing their tyres?
The legal limit for tyre tread in Ireland is 1.6mm. Every tyre has small rubber indicators inside the tread grooves, to indicate the 1.60mm limit. Once your tread is worn level with the symbol, it is time to replace them. A trained tyre technician will be able to check your tyre for ageing signs, sidewall damage or any other common fault.

is recommended to move them to the rear once the tyres are halfway worn or 12 months after getting them fitted – whichever comes first. This will extend the tyre life. The same procedure is recommended for rear wheel drive cars. The only difference here is that the rear tyres are wearing faster than the front.
How should a driver react if they experience a blowout while driving?
If a sudden tyre collapse occurs, the first thing is to stay calm, if possible. A tyre blowout will impact the way the car handles and might lead to a loss of stability. Best practice is to try to regain control of the car and slowly pull over to a safe spot. It is recommended to avoid slamming the brakes or swerving the car off the road. After all, it is only 25% of rubber contact that is lost, so keep two hands on the wheel and gradually reduce the speed.
