The duo will be joined on stage by Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The Steep Canyon Rangers.

Elbow, who release their eighth studio album, ‘Giants of All Sizes’, on 11 October have announced UK and Europe tour dates for March and April of 2020. They play 3Arena on Saturday, 28 March 2020! Lead track from the new album, ‘Dexter & Sinister’, attracted praise from NME for its ‘bluesy swagger’ whilst Clash heralded its ‘lucid grooves melded to an ominous atmosphere’. A second early release from the album, ‘Empires’, garnered further praise, with US site Stereo gum revelling in ‘quintessential Elbow lines that manage to sound like some bit of poetry Garvey’s uttering over a glass of whiskey.’ This tour is elbow’s most comprehensive set of dates in some time.

Kilcoole he village of Kilcoole, just south of Greystones, is perhaps the best known of its kind in Ireland – doubling as the fictional village of Glenroe in RTE’s popular soap opera in Kilcoole making it a very well known and special part of Ireland.

Kilcoole is an ancient settlement which owes its existence to the Rock of Kilcoole, a prominent outcropping which dominates the local coastal plain. An area of marshland called the Murrough begins at Kilcoole and extends southward toward Wicklow Town. This area is important for wildlife, especially for migrating birds. Kilcoole has an extensive shingle and sand beach popular with walkers. To the west lie the Wicklow Mountains. The peak of the Great Sugar Loaf is a prominent sight to the northwest.

Built on the experience of 3 generations Roundwood Design has a long standing family history of designing and building some of Ireland’s finest furniture.

With each and every component having been tried and tested over time and on a regular basis to ensure that it lasts the test of time.

We believe in building and designing furniture to last for many years to come.

Coastal Walk from Kilcoole to Newcastle From Kilcoole seafront, the coastal path leads south along a popular bird-watching route. There are beautiful vistas to the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. At the end of the walk there are options to explore the East Coast Nature Reserve at Newcastle Beach.

Kilcoole Marsh & Wetland

The area is a wonderful mix of coastal salt marsh, tidal channels, reed beds, farmland, low sand hills and beach bordered by a narrow dune strip and shingle ridge.

The entire stretch of coast and marsh-land is ideal for birding at any time of the year. Viewing the birds is usually straightforward and very often at close range. The village of Kilcoole is about 1 mile inland.

Getting There: Kilcoole railway station is served by Iarnród Éireann although the number of trains stopping there is limited to a handful each day. There is a car park behind the train station and you can cross the railway lines there by foot.

The existence of the quartzite outcrop known as the Rock is undoubtedly responsible for the initial settlement and location of Kilcoole. Early peoples arriving in Ireland after the last ice age would have been drawn to the Rock, from which one could spot approaching boats and erect defences. Food would have been abundant in the birds and fish of the marsh and coastal area, just a mile away. Besides its usefulness, the Rock must have also been an impressive landmark that represented the status and pride of the people living there.

Focus on Kilcoole

The coast of Co. Wicklow from Kilcoole south to Wicklow town forms the largest coastal wetland complex on the east coast of Ireland. The beach and marsh at Kilcoole are at the northern end of this feature. A number of streams flow in to the marsh forming channels before converging and cutting through the shingle bank and entering the Irish Sea at The Breaches. This cut in the bank also permits the tide to enter the marsh and a number of embankments have been constructed at various places to attempt reduce the chances of flooding.

Kilcoole - The Rock

War veteran David Budd finds work as a police sergeant with London’s Metropolitan Police Service, in the Royalty and Specialist Protection branch. He is assigned to protect the home secretary, the Rt. Hon. Julia Montague MP, a controversial and ambitious politician who is described as “the sociopath” by one of her aides, and who has plans to introduce invasive new surveillance powers for security forces. Finding himself increasingly at odds with Montague’s policies and personality, and dealing with physical and psychological scars from his time serving in Afghanistan, volatile Budd is torn between his beliefs and his duty to protect.

The new Buzz About town!

In 1989 a jogger was assaulted and raped in New York’s Central Park, and five young people were subsequently charged with the crime. The quintet, labeled the Central Park Five, maintained its innocence and spent years fighting the convictions, hoping to be exonerated. This limited series spans a quarter of a century, from when the teens are first questioned about the incident in the spring of 1989, going through their exoneration in 2002 and ultimately the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014.

can yield savings of 10 – 20 percent.

11% Doors are major culprits. A 1/8inch gap is like knocking a hole in your wall. Proper weather stripping can reduce the 11 percent loss to nearly zero.

6. 31% of heat escapes through your ceiling, walls and floors.

Checking and replacing damaged insulation or adding additional insulation can lead to big savings.

It is that time of year again when temperatures begin to drop significantly so we thought it would be an ideal time to list a few different ways you can heat your homes to keep you warm and cosy during the long winter months.

Gas Boilers: Servicing your boiler each year is essential to ensure the safety, efficiency and reliability of your gas boiler. A regularly serviced boiler will operate more efficiently and save you money on your energy bills. It will also help prevent costly breakdowns and repairs. As with all heating appliances, your gas boiler needs to be serviced once a year, as recommended by the manufacturers, to ensure that it is operating efficiently and safely. An efficient boiler is more environmentaly friendly leading to lower gas consumption, therefore lowering your bills. Make sure to use only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI)

Underfloor Heating: Underfloor heating has become increasingly popular with homeowners throughout Ireland, this is mainly due to the fact that underfloor heating provides high levels of comfort, a healthier living environment and is highly energy efficient.

Underfloor heating systems can be installed in existing builds and new builds, once installed they are practically maintenance free.

It is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home as the heat

1800 645 645 30

In Wicklow | OCTOBER 2019

is distributed evenly throughout the rooms. Whereas, radiators only heat the area around them rapidly, this heat is quickly dispersed upwards and away from the areas that you want to heat.

Underfloor heating also comes with its own thermostat allowing you to control the heating temperatures in your rooms.

Air to Water Heat Pumps: If you are looking to reduce your home heating costs an air to water heat pump system is an ideal choice. By installing a heat pump in your home you can save up to 75% on your heating costs.

The air to water heat pump absorbs the air from outside, this

Home Heating

The Heat is on!

heat can then be used to heat your radiators, water and underfloor heating systems. Air to water heat pumps are also suitable for any business premises with high water usage.

Solar Panels: Solar panels are also a popular choice with homeowners throughout Ireland. Solar panels capture the daylight energy and convert it into electricity that can be used to power your home or business.

External Wall Insulation (EWI): External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a composite cladding system comprised of suitable insulation and waterproof coating which is applied to all the external walls of a building. The application of EWI reduces heating bills, and consequently, carbon emissions also. External Wall Insulation (EWI) is the most efficient way to insulate an existing building.

It uses the fabric of the building like a storage radiator. Because the heat can no longer escape through the outer layer of insulation, it is reflected back into the living areas, creating a constant warm home.
