Finbar works solo, which balancing his folk roots with songs such as now and forever to his voice such as 'New York Girls' which was his handlebar moustache swinging contribution to Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York ...... In 1972 John Peel gave Finbar, along with his brother Eddie, their big break by voting them act of the year.Their music was phenomenal because it was a new sound - Irish (Uillean) Pipes with Guitar and voice, which up till then had not been done.)

Subsequently of course the format was used everywhere from Planxty to River Dancre, Braveheart to Hailey Westenra. It was modern music, with an ancient root. The music came from the Irish Gypsy community and when it met the psychedelic era, a new sound was born.

WATERING HANGING BASKETS: One of the most frequently asked questions in our garden centres is - How to keep your hanging baskets watered?

There are a few different options available to you: • You can buy packets of water retaining gel which will slowly release water in to the baskets for you.

• You can also buy Container and Basket Compost from Bord na Mona which already has this contained in the mix.

• Some people advise placing ice cubes in your containers during hot weather but we would say not to do this as it can damage the plants Or we suggest trying to top tip from one of our horticulturists: In my own garden I have a number of small bottles filled with water with a small hole in the lid sitting at my door ready to use during hot weather. If I notice the baskets look dry I simple place one of these bottles in the basket to slowly release the water during the day.

Grounds to this unique festival which attracts over forty artisan food and craft stalls. This is the second year that the event has been sponsored by Kevin Gallagher of SuperValu, Wicklow Town.

T

(The Bridge Tavern)

he sponsorship by the local Supervalu store is significant in that they are the biggest supporter of local producers and suppliers in Ireland especially through their Food Academy Initiative.

SuperValu’s Food Academy

was created in partnership with Bord Bia and the Local Enterprise Network as a mentoring programme nurturing small businesses through their journey from starting up to getting their products on shelves in Supervalu stores across Ireland. On your next visit to Supervalu check out the Food Academy Range for the names of your local food producers.

This year, the roll call of Celebrity Chefs is even better than at previous Taste of Wicklow Town events. There is a really star studded programme of Celebrity Chefs, which include Neven Maguire, Derry Clarke, Paul Kelly, The Druid Chef Rory Morahan and a host of local chefs Paul Smith of The Mystic Celt, Alan Hegarty of

The Lighthouse Restaurant, Veronica O’Reilly of Healthy Habits Café, and Andy McDaniel of The Bridge Tavern. The objective of The Taste of Wicklow is to encourage a food and artisan culture and towards that end, the festival will also feature chefs from the transition year students of local schools.

There will be a full music programme all day which has been generously sponsored by The Bridge Tavern. This will ensure that all visitors to the beautiful historic Abbey Grounds will be provided with a first class music experience with music to suit all tastes and age groups.

From start to finish, the day is packed full of family fun with children’s

games, magicians, face painters and walkabout performers. It has truly become a family friendly festival with something for everybody.

There is a cost of entry to the Abbey Grounds of €5 per adult, with children under 12 going free.

All entertainment for the day is completely free of charge. The Taste of Wicklow is organised by The Wicklow Town & District Chamber of Commerce who have organised a fantastic fundraising raffle with many valuable prizes including a cash prize of €2000 and an opportunity to win two All Ireland Football Final Tickets with an overnight stay.

The cost per ticket is €10 which includes free entry to The Taste of Wicklow. There are lots of additional prizes including an Airplane tour of Wicklow, a luxury wine hamper, a €250 Cash Prize, Meals for Two

COURSES

he Garden County is one of the finest places not only in Ireland, but in the world, to play golf. Together with excellent value and quality of service at a multitude of courses, tremendous variety with regard to course type ensures a high-class golfing experience.

“8 of Wicklow’s Top Golf Courses” 1. Powerscourt Golf Club 2. Woodbrook Golf Club 3. Bray Golf Club 4. Old Conna Golf Club 5. Charlesland Golf Club 6. Tulfarris Golf Club 7. Coollattin Golf Club 8. Kilcoole Golf Club

Wicklow boasts some of the finest links, parkland and heathland courses in the country. While prevailing weather conditions along the coast in Wicklow can prove challenging, they also ensure an authentic environment in which to play links golf.

While not particularly long, the perfectly manicured layout offers visitors and members alike stunning views on the seasoned fairways. Surprising to many is that despite the high quality and range on offer, golf in Wicklow is renowned for the value for money that it can offer.

Nestled in the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains and surrounded by breath-taking views, you will not find many places in the world like Powerscourt Golf Club, only 30 minutes from Dublin airport, you feel like you have entered a different world.

Dun Laoghaire Golf Club VENUE FOR THE 39th CURTIS CUP 10 -12 JUNE 2016 The 39th staging of the biennial Curtis Cup match between the leading lady amateur golfers of the U.S.A. and those of Great Britain & Ireland turns the golfing world’s spotlight onto County Wicklow once more.

The match is to be played June 10th - 12th, 2016 at the sumptuous Dun Laoghaire Golf Club on the slopes above Enniskerry and it promises to be a spectacular affair with the venerable club and the Ladies’ Golf Union very determined to exceed all previous meetings in the matters of great golf and spectacular hospitality and celebration.

Dun Laoghaire Golf Club – Home of the 2016 Curtis Cup: Great golf is, of course, just par for the course in County Wicklow as it has staged many great championships starting with the Irish Open and other pre-European Tour events at Woodbrook just north of Bray. Road blocks were the norm going to and coming from that lovely club on the big days!

The two championship golf courses are situated among the truly magnificent Powerscourt Estate which is home to 1,000 acres of what needs to be seen to be believed. Powerscourt is everything that symbolises Ireland’s natural beauty.

The spectacular scenery and facilities have an immediate draw and it’s not difficult to see why Powerscourt is so highly regarded among golfers.

The professional maintenance and conditioning of the courses means that full greens are in operation all year-round, allowing you to enjoy championship quality golf every time you play.

Green fees, groups and societies are always welcome at Powerscourt.

Unlike many clubs, we can offer

In more recent times the Irish Open has been played four times at Druids Glen, the Irish Seniors Open has been played at Tulfarris, the Irish Professional Championship has been played at Druids Heath, Powerscourt and The European Club.

This is quite a world-class region for golf.

It is blessed with great courses and links, with a welcoming disposition towards visiting golfers and with an ease of access which is the envy of many other fine centers of international quality golf.

One thing that many great golf courses have in common, apart from great golf, is the fact that they are very difficult to find and to get to. Worse, they can be quite isolated both from each other and from after golf entertainments.

There are twenty-six golf courses in County Wicklow and they provide great golfing experiences for players of all standards and, better still, every single one of them welcomes the visiting golfer. That is the Irish way …. you are welcome!

OK, I WILL CONFESS – I AM OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS BROW AT THE MOMENT!

TO BE HONEST THEY NEVER BOTHERED ME BEFORE? AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT “ALL THIS HYPE OVER TWO LINES OF HAIR ON YOUR FACE WAS

RIDICULOUS”, BUT NO MATTER WHERE IN

Eyebrows

Health & Beauty YES… Eyebrows are a thing right now, in fact - their HUGE!

EYEBROW TIPS & ADVICE STEP 1 – PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

‘BROW-MANIA’

TIME.

Now, if you are lucky to a child of the 00’s you will undoubtedly have gorgeous, thick looking, beautifully shaped, untouched eyebrows and you will never know our pain! But, if like me you were a teen in the 90’s well you know what I’m talking about when I use the words ‘Over-tweezed, Super Thin Eyebrows’ and so the ‘Brow-mania’ begins.

Everything from ‘regrowth, to treatments, to shaping, to brow kits and tutorials’ almost every woman has now made the eyebrows the no.1 accessory to whatever look you’re going for. It’s no longer just all about our hair styles or outfits now we are on the hunt for the perfect brow as well!

34

inWICKLOW

June 2016

STEP 3 – EYEBROW MAPPING: There are 3 points at which our eyebrows are mapped out so before you do anything else take a thin brush or pencil and an eyeliner pencil and lightly pin your 3 mapped areas:

pencil at the dimple of your nose lining straight up to your eyebrow and lightly dot that area, this is where your eyebrow should start.

THAT IS UPON US AT THIS MOMENT IN

SO, WHEN LOOKING BACK AT MY CHILD’S COMMUNION PHOTOS LAST WEEKEND I DID NOT LIKE WHAT I SAW WHEN IT CAME TO MY OWN ‘TWO LINES OF HAIR ON MY FACE’ – THAT WAS IT, I WAS SUCKED IN AND I BECAME BROW OBSESSED…

Eyebrow Threading / HD Eyebrows / 3D Eyebrows / Waxing If you choose to go it alone then this next part is for you:

• START OF THE EYEBROW – Place the handle of your brush/

THE WORLD YOU ARE RIGHT NOW YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE

you have when it comes to your eyebrows like:

• ARCH OF THE EYEBROW – Place the handle of your brush/

Always the most important first step to take when it comes to your eyebrows is to make an appointment in your local beauty salon to get a professional’s advice and your eyebrows shaped. We are very lucky here in Co. Wicklow to have an array of beauty salons to choose from all across the county.

STEP 2 – PERSONAL CHOICE: Eyebrows are a very personal thing so once a professional has shaped your eyebrows to suit your face it’s now your job from here on in to keep your eyebrow maintenance at bay. If you choose to pay regular visits to your local beauty salon to keep your eyebrows in shape, perfect! But if you choose to maintain them yourself talk to your beauty therapist first about what would suit you best regarding your eyebrows?

Ask about the many different options

pencil at the edge of your nose and up through the centre of the eye to the highest point of your brow and lightly dot that area, this is where your arch will be.

• END OF THE EYEBROW – Place

the handle of your brush/pencil at the outer corner of your nose and up to the edge of your eye, this is where your eyebrow should end. Lightly dot that area also.

What you have just done there is pin point the length and shape of your eyebrow, once you have done this step you can now begin to fill the eyebrow in.

STEP 4 – FILLING IN: Using a brow shadow or pencil will give you the full defined shape you’re after, just please remember that it is a tricky little step in your now new make-up routine but always remember ladies…

HealTH & BeaUTY

‘PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT’

following down to the end of your brow.

• BLEND – Use an eyebrow brush (or your spoolie will do again) and brush, blending the lines inwards spreading your pencil or shadow lines into your eyebrow to cover any gaps.

• OUTLINE YOUR LOWER BROW – Take your spoolie and brush your eyebrow hairs upward. Following the shape of your eyebrow, using your pencil or shadow draw a line.

• FINAL TOUCH – When your happy with how your eyebrow looks, do a final brush to make sure all the hairs are in place. Take an eyebrow gel (either a clear gel or a gel the colour of your eyebrow) and lightly brush through your eyebrow. Using your concealer apply a thin line under and above your eyebrow and blend to give you a more finished look and you’re done!

• OUTLINE YOUR UPPER BROW – Again using your spoolie, brush the hairs down. Slightly in from the beginning of your eyebrow draw a line

Eyebrow make-up products L’Oreal Paris Perfection Brow Artist Plumper €8.49

There are many products for your eyebrows these days. It all just comes down to which you prefer yourself: • EYEBROW WAX – To give your eyebrow a polished look • BROW GELS – To give the look of a fuller brow coating the hair so it appears thicker or a clear gel just keeps hairs in place.

• BROW PENCIL – To fill in any gaps in the brow. Use feather light strokes to draw on tiny hairs.

• BROW SHADOW – To give shape, apply and blend in with your brush for a natural finish.

GOLF

116th US OPEN 2016 JUNE 16TH – 19TH OAKMONT USA

June HORSE RACING & MUSIC

Bulmers Live at Leopardstown Thursday 9th June - Thursday 11th August 2016

The 2016 U.S. Open Championship will be conducted at Oakmont Country Club, in Oakmont, PA. Consistently ranked as one of the best tests of championship golf in the country, Oakmont has hosted more major championships than any other club in America.

The 2016 U.S. Open Championship will mark the ninth time the course has hosted the national championship and has crowned some of golf’s legends as champions, including Ben Hogan (1953) and Jack Nicklaus (1962).

Rory McIlroy is the current favourite but I don’t fancy him this year. He came from off the pace to finish 10th in his first US Open in 2009, he finished fast to claim ninth at Chambers Bay last year and he smashed records when he won the 2011, but they’re by some distance his best event efforts and has since been a long way short of that.

The cream always rises to the top at Oakmont, where a certain Jack Nicklaus won his first ever event beating Arnold Palmer in a playoff in 1962. Jason Day is currently the best-equipped player to finish the week on top. His US Open form figures are impressive and if he’s in form this June, he’ll take some beating on a course that should really suit his game.

When Marie Laure goes blind, aged six, her father builds her a model of their Paris neighborhood, so she can memorize it with her fingers and then navigate the real streets.

But when the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure’s agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall. In another world in Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, is enchanted by a crude radio.

converges with Marie-Laure.

Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another.

Ten years in the writing, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE is his most ambitious and dazzling work.

The first three singles from the album (“Good For You,” “Same Old Love,” “Hands to Myself”) have all reached #1 at Top 40 Radio in the US. “I’ve put my heart into making this tour something very special. I cannot wait to travel through Europe and see everyone!”

Revival has earned Gomez a host of rave reviews. Entertainment Weekly called it “one of fall’s sleekest albums” and “as fresh and forward-thinking as the music of indie darlings Tove Lo and FKA Twigs,” while Rolling Stone raved “this is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before.”
