Calum Scott announced as special guest to Jamie Lawson THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE

Venue: Vicar St, Dublin / Date: 4th October 2016

This October, Jamie Lawson will make his highly anticipated return to Dublin. Joining Jamie Lawson will be very special guest Calum Scott.

Born in the port city of Hull in Northern England, Calum Scott is disarmingly direct – a quality that informs his self-penned, ripped-from-the-soul songs and that’s apparent even when he is interpreting another artist’s material, as his poignant cover of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” demonstrates.

In this special 20th anniversary production, Marie Mullen plays the role of Mag, having won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Maureen in the original Beauty Queen.

Druid return with this explosive production for a limited run before embarking on a coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. Times: Evening 7:30pm, Saturday Matinee 2:30pm Tickets from €21 including booking fee and restoration levy on sale now Booking: Gaiety Theatre Box Office South King Street, Dublin 2.

McGettigan’s and the Royal Hotel Bray presents PJ Gallagher with support from Eric Lalor.

Bank Holiday Sunday, 30th October with doors open at 7pm, show at 8pm.

By Martin McDonagh Gaiety Theatre Date: 18th October – 29th October 2016

The Beauty Queen of Leenane is set in the mountains of Connemara and tells the story of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early 40s, and Mag, her manipulative, aging mother. Mag’s interference in Maureen’s first and potentially last romantic relationship sets in motion a chain of events that are as tragically funny as they are horrific.

PJ Gallagher live Royal Hotel Bray

Shortly after Scott self-released “Dancing On My Own” in March 2016, the song went viral in over 34 countries on Spotify, peaking at No. 2 on the Global Viral 50. The single charted at No. 1 in more than six countries, including the U.S., and ranked in the Top 10 in over 20 countries on Spotify.

“Dancing On My Own” has charted in iTunes’ Top 10 in more than 12 countries and has now spent four weeks in the Top 40 of the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.

Limited tickets priced €24 are available now through www.ticketmaster.ie

Tickets for the event are €15 available from Ticketmaster and the Royal Hotel and all profits from the night will be donated by McGettigan’s and the Royal Hotel Bray to Bray Emmets GAA Club.

Up To My Eyes, a fab little salon in Greystones has been changing the face of beauty since it was first established by owner Elaine McParland in 2009. It was the first dedicated lash salon in the country where Elaine brought all her knowledge from her Sydney based training to provide wonderful natural, soft, curly & comfortable lashes to the women of Ireland. It wasn’t long before VIPs such as Georgia Salpa, Rosanna Davison, Roz Purcell, Pippa O’Connor, to name but a few, were flocking to her door to get lashed

bone took off from the getgo and Elaine and her team have transformed the brows of over 7,000 ladies (and men) here since.

Unlike microblading, emBrowdery does not break or tear the skin so strokes remain thin, realistic and insitu, despite the passing of time. VIP’s also flock to the doors of Up To My Eyes for the emBrowdery treatment and Majella O’Donnell (Daniel’s wife) was recently seen on Nationwide getting her brows recreated here.

Also nominated in 2015 and 2016 as best brow artist in the country, reviews on emBrowdery prove that Elaine’s technique, based on eyebrow cloning in Asia, is superior to other methods currently available in Ireland.

Alys Fowler travelled to Kazakhstan to visit the home of one of our favourite fruits, and learned of the danger the species now faces.

Kazakhstan is the birthplace of the original wild apple, making it something of a Garden of Eden in its own right, but its native fruit is now under threat. Officially classified as a vulnerable species, the wild apple is the ancestor of the very ones sitting on your kitchen table, and its genes could be the key to solving the problems of pests and disease we find in our own domestic apples.

Spookily good entertainment for your little ghosts and ghouls this Halloween

Halloween Games Bobbing for Apples …

Age – 6 to Old Age Number of Players – Any Amount What you need: • Large basin/ bucket or bowl of water • Apples • Towels

How to play: • Attach strings to the stalks of the apples and hang them off the door frame, washing line or tree. If you can’t find apples with stalks attached. Then you can use an alternative such as donuts – which are a good option for younger players.

• The aim is to be the first person to eat all of your apple or donuts without using your hands. Prizes can be given not only to the person who finishes first but who also manages to get the first bite.

cut, to make a flat, raised face and prominent forehead. Chill for 10 mins to firm the crumbs.

• Mix the icing sugar, milk and green colouring to make a thick icing that flows slowly from the spoon. Spoon 1tbsp onto a cake and let it begin to spread itself over the cut shape. Ease it here and there with a palette knife to coat. Add marshmallow neck bolts and eyes. Repeat for each cupcake. Leave to set, then pipe on the faces and hair.

Halloween Recipes Eerie Eyeball Pops Frankenstein Cup-

How to play: • Fill your basin/bucket or bowl with water, be sure not to fill It to the top because when players put their face in water will spill over.

• Place your apples in the water to bobble, but be sure not to add to many in at the one time you can’t make this too easy. You can add apples in when one gets taken out.

• Once the game is set up all you need to do is give players a chance to try catch an apple using only their teeth.

• Hands should be kept behind the players back. Younger players could perhaps be allowed to use one hand to guide the apples but not to actually place the apple in their mouth (for instance they can stop the apple floating away but cannot pick it up to bite). Alternatively, you could use a shallower basin for this Halloween game to make it more manageable for the younger kids.

• It is a good idea to have some towels nearby to dry faces (and possibly hair) after each player’s turn at this Halloween game.

Friend Request [15] There’s not much to ‘Like’ when college loner Marina (Liesl Ahlers) commits suicide after being unfriended by her popular classmate Laura (Alycia Debnam Carey). But the biggest shocks are yet to come as Laura and her flesh-andblood friends become the targets of a deadly hate campaign from beyond the grave. The social network becomes a supernatural nightmare in a cautionary cyber-horror that provides a constant feed of nerve-rattling jolts, disturbing imagery, and the most vindictive dream troll this side of Elm Street.

Lying In Wait €17.00 Author: Liz Nugent

Meet the Fitzsimons. To family and friends, Andrew appears to be a successful judge and Lydia his supportive and adoring wife but underneath this rotting façade, things are going wrong. So wrong, in fact, that they have a murdered prostitute buried in their perfectly manicured garden. Confident that they’ve gotten away with an unspeakable crime, they set about rebuilding their lives. There’s one loose thread, however. Their son Laurence has his suspicions and soon develops a dangerous obsession with the dead girl and her family. Liz Nugent’s

The Girls €16.00 Author: Emma Cline

Summer 1969: fourteen year old Evie Boyd is on the cusp of womanhood.

Desperate to be noticed, she falls into the company of a trio of older girls, otherworldly in their tattered dresses and unkempt hair. Evie is drawn into their universe, at the centre of which is the enigmatic Russell to whom they flock. Cline’s prose is poetic and often dreamlike, but hidden within the beauty of the writing are her pointed observations on the treatment that young women experience during that dark space between adolescence and adulthood. Despite parallels to the infamous Manson family case, the bril-

liance of this novel lies in what Cline has to say about girlhood and female friendship, always presented against a backdrop of male desire.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is the 16th installment in the Pro Evolution Soccer series. The cover of the game features FC Barcelona players Neymar Jr, Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Ivan Rakitic and Gerard Pique. Konami Digital Entertainment officially announced a premium partnership with FC Barcelona allowing “extensive” access to the Camp Nou stadium, which will be exclusive to the game for three years. In addition to this, Konami announced further official partnerships with Liverpool FC, Borussia Dortmund and Club Atlético River Plate which will include recreation of the official kits, player faces, club logos and stadia among other exclusive content. Features includes, among others, improved passing, Real Touch ball control, and improved goal tending technique.

The recent demo confirms it will include fully licensed Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona teams. Further licences with Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04 & River Plate were agreed which would allow Konami to reproduce the teams within the game.

Batman (TellTale) Pre-Order: €39.99

Steins;Gate 0 is the follow up to the awardwinning and chart-topping Steins;Gate – the sci-fi time travel visual novel that took the west by storm just last year. There’s a reason everyone loves it so much. Steins;Gate 0 is more than a simple sequel, instead exploring a branch of one of Steins;Gate’s alternate endings. Okabe and the Future Gadget Lab members, along with new characters, star in this story about AI and the creation of something called “Amadeus” – which can allow you to interact with the store memories of another person. We’re loving what we’ve seen so far!

Placebo Rod Stewart Tickets: 65.45-121.00EUR / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 18th & 19th November 2016 / Dublin 3 Arena With no shortage of chart-topping tracks, the ‘From Gasoline Alley to Another Country Hits 2016’ tour will captivate fans, truly living up to its name with performances of show stopping classics spanning five decades including: You Wear It Well, Maggie May, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy, Baby Jane, The First Cut is the Deepest, I Don’t Want To Talk About It, Tonight’s The Night, The Killing of Georgie and Sailing. Not only that, he will play his hits off his most recent platinum-selling albums ‘Time’ and ‘Another Country’.

Rod Stewart commented, “What a great line-up of venues.

These are some of my favourite buildings in my favourite cities. I give you fair warning – fasten your seat belts. I’m pulling out all the stops! “ Rod Stewart is one of the best selling artists in the history of recorded music, with over 200 million records sold worldwide. His signature voice, style and haircut have transcended all genres of popular music, from rock & roll, new wave and even tackling the Great American Song Book; making him one of the few stars to enjoy continued success over five decades.

Tickets: 49.50-54.40EUR / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 10th December 2016 / Dublin 3 Arena Placebo will be heading out on a world tour in October to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the release of their platinum selling debut album ’Placebo’. Making their highly anticipated return to Dublin with special guests Minor Victories.

The Band Promise a set list spanning their whole back catalogue. Brian Molko teased…

“Let's just say there will be songs in the set that I've sworn never to play again. I think it's time that we purposefully acknowledged what a lot of Placebo fans really want to hear. They've been very patient with us since we rarely play our most commercially successful material. A 20 year anniversary tour seems like the right time to do so. That's our intention. This tour is very much for the fans and a chance for us to revisit a lot of our early material. So, if you want to see us play songs like 'Pure Morning’ and 'Nancy Boy’ which we haven't played in almost ten years and may not play again, then you'd better come along to these shows! We'll have some surprises in there too."

Minor Victories are an alternative rock quartet made up of members from Slowdive, Mogwai, Editors. Having released their self-titled album in June, they will be sharing the 3Arena stage with Placebo this December.

Simply Red

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Tickets: 55.65EUR / Doors: 6.30pm / Dates: 11th November 2016 / Dublin 3 Arena

Tickets: 60.50+EUR / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 20th December 2016 / Dublin 3 Arena

Following a triumphant return to Ireland last year with an unforgettable 3Arena show, Simply Red take their classic album ‘Stars’ on the road this November in what will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the year.

The first half of this special show will feature the entire ‘Stars’ album in it’s original running order while the second half of the show will feature hits and classic Simply Red songs.

‘Stars’ was released on September 30th, 1991 and was the best selling UK album for two consecutive years, 1991 and 1992, a feat that hasn’t been repeated since. It was their 4th album and the first to feature a collection of songs written entirely by Mick Hucknall for which he received an Ivor Novello award for Best Songwriter of the Year in 1991 in addition to a Brit Award for Best British Band that same year.

25 years after it’s release, ‘Stars’ remains one of modern music’s best and most successful albums. It made Mick Hucknall a superstar, turning Simply Red into one of the country’s biggest bands. The album sold over 10 million worldwide, 4 million in the UK. Today the album sounds as fresh and exciting as it did in 1991.

Red Hot Chili Peppers 11th studio album The Getaway debuted at number one around the world. The heralded studio album from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees debuted at #1 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200. The Getaway, marks the Grammy Award-winning band’s seventh top 10 album and third #2 on the Top 200 Chart. The album debuted at # 1 in Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands and New Zealand. It debuted at #2 in the United Kingdom and Germany.

Every ticket purchased includes your choice of a standard physical or standard digital copy of The Getaway.

One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multiplatinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards, including "Best Rock Album" for Stadium Arcadium, "Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group" for "Dani California," "Best Rock Song" for "Scar Tissue," and "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal" for "Give It Away." The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012.

Biffy Clyro Tickets: 46.50EUR / Doors: 6.30pm / Date: 26th November 2016 / Dublin 3 Arena Following the release of their brand new Number 1 album, “Ellipsis” out now, Biffy Clyro have announced a headline show at 3Arena on Saturday, November 26th.

As is tradition, writing sessions for the album saw Biffy Clyro – Simon Neil (vocals/guitar) and the Johnston brothers James (bass) and Ben (drums) working in the intimate environment of their practice room. They then headed to Los Angeles for recording sessions with producer Rich Costey (Muse, My Chemical Romance, Sigur Ros).

Such themes are also apparent in the album’s visceral first single ‘Wolves of Winter’ which captures Biffy Clyro’s famous blend of angular riffs, pummelling rhythms and strident hooks. Says Neil: “’Wolves of Winter’ is about us being wolves on a patch and if you come onto that patch, we’ll tear you limb-from-limb.”
