bondi beach boy blueby Benny McDonnell

Declan is set to become another Kilkenny hurl-ing great until fate intervenes and he bolts for Ireland’s Antipodean outpost: Bondi. Bondi Beach Boy Blue is the story of his relationships with the important people in his life, the story of the prob-lems he ran away from in Ireland and what he ran into in Australia. It is the story of a small town hero forced from his comfort zone and having to find his place on a larger stage.

the Jeff & Vida bandJeff Burke and Vida Wakeman began perform-ing in the bars and clubs of New Orleans in 1998. Their different backgrounds and shared love of American roots music helped them create a unique sound that fuses blues, country, rock & roll and bluegrass, and can only be described as Americana. The Jeff and Vida Band’s live per-formances showcase Vida’s powerful voice, Jeff’s superb picking on mandolin, guitar and banjo, Mike Kerwin’s slap-you-in-the-face bass playing and tight, well arranged harmonies. glór friends

Duke special with bandGloriously vintage and unlike any other artist, Duke Special is a fervent performer who harks back to the pre-rock ’n roll era with dashes of Gershwin and orchestral swing. Dynamic, musically ambi-tious and bracingly eccentric, he’s right on cue with his inimitable style and lush musicality. Expect favourites such as ’Brixton Leaves’, ’Slip of A Girl’, ’Last Night I Nearly Died’ and ’Freewheel’. Duke Special is once heard, never forgotten.

Jack l A singular talent, Kildare man Jack Lukeman’s last performance in glór in May 2006, was a sell-out. His music is genre defying and to try to pigeon hole him a crooner or storytelling troubadour is a pointless exercise. His voice is three-dimensional in that he can go from a seducing whisper to an internal organ-shaking operatic top note, effort-lessly. Expect a stage presence and performance like nothing you have experienced before.Early booking advised. glór friends

Ten years later, however, their paths cross again, when the young woman becomes her personal page turner.



mountain patrolDIR: CHAuN Lu /CHINA/HONGKONG/2004/85 MINS/CLuB

When Ga yu, a journalist, arrives at the mystical camp of the Kekexili Mountain Patrol, he becomes determined to uncover the real story behind the mysterious disappearance of patrol volunteers, the slaughtering of Tibetan antelopes, and allega-tions of cooperation with the illegal hunters.

When a group of skinheads take 12 year old Shaun under their wing, he discovers parties, girls and snappy dressing, and finds some role models in the gang. Soon, however, Shaun is drawn into much more uncomfortable territory. Based largely on his own experience, Shane Meadows’ film handles the complexities of masculinity, violence and race with sensitivity and a lightness of touch.



neil Young: Heart of goldDIR: JONATHAN DEMME / uSA / 2006 / 103 MINS / GEN

Filmed live in concert, Neil Young was facing into surgery for a brain aneurysm the following week. Laconic as ever, he introduces the songs with reflections on his youth, his late father, the empty nest when his daughter left home for college, and the old guitar he bought 30 years ago. This celebration of his musical genius is an experience to cherish. For aficionados, it is sheer bliss.



after the weddingDIR: SuSANNE BIER / DENMARK / 2006 / 122 MINS / CLuB

Transplanted Dane Jacob Peterson runs a strug-gling orphanage in one of India’s poorest regions. Fiercely devoted to his charges, Jacob considers all Westerners criminally spoiled, so it’s only thanks to the intensity of his commitment that he enter-tains his boss’s plea to return to Denmark to meet with a wealthy entrepreneur who may be willing to save their orphanage. This sparks a chain of events that changes all their lives forever.

máirín Kelly - aspectKelly’s work reflects on the local and global interests in our landscape from an environmental and visual perspective.

Aspect comprises a series of various habitat drawings and a group of peat paintings.
