For anyone who’s ever been young and dreamed of going to a festival and finding Nirvana... ‘Lisdoon Nirvana’ is a dramatic monologue with live music, written and performed by Frankie McCafferty and directed by Charlie Bonner.
Based on the last music festival at Lisdoonvarna in July 1983, the piece follows one young guy, Macker, and his friends making the Odyssean trip from Donegal to Clare. Travelling on the pillion of his friend’s two-stroke motorbike, they encounter 80s Ireland and young people from all over making the same pilgrimage. Laden with camping gear and cheap alcohol smuggled across the border, wearing a converted Garda riot control helmet stuffed with bin bags, and a pair of swimming goggles, our hero undergoes a rite of passage as he ventures out into the big bad beautiful world. Through his eyes we see the Folk and Rock glory of the Irish Glastonbury - and a country in transition, with a backdrop of recession, church oppression, emigration and Troubles. But right now, Macker’s 17, there’s Smithwick’s in the rucksack, and rumour has it that the girls from the North are bringing hash and condoms. So that’s alright Mama...

THIN PLACE
Bob Speers
Mon 28 July - Sat 6 Sep | FOYER WALLS
The term “thin place” refers to a location where the veil between the physical and the transcendental appears permeable or “thin”, a mystical space where the boundary between our tangible world and the unseen world seem to touch. Peatlands (bogs) are considered to have this special characteristic where there is a connection between the material and the numinous.
‘Thin Place’ is a continuous artistic journey for Bob Speers as he explores and examines boglands nationwide, inspiring new work for this touring exhibition. Bob uses a sample from each bog so that, in essence the bog name is to be
found in the painting. Bob’s unique work not only includes material taken from bogs all across Ireland, but he also incorporates commercial paints and discarded household fabrics.
“My art is currently informed by habitual wanderings through different levels of moor and bog. Interest lies in the human and weathering imprint, the subtle colours, lines and incisions on its skin.”
‘Thin Place’ launches the 2025 John Hewitt International Summer School Visual Arts programme at the Market Place Gallery.
STONE MIRROR
Paddy McCann
Mon 28 July - Sat 6 Sep | GALLERY
