Welcome to The Séamus Ennis Arts Centre

This parent and toddler music class is the ideal introduction for you and your little one to Traditional Irish Music. With all the energy and fun of a session, but for you and your little one! Every week the group will be introduced to a traditional instrument and learn all about it through sensory play, arts and crafts, song and dance. In the second half of each class the group will get to meet a real musician who will play that week’s instrument.

Paul Byrom is considered by many to be one of Ireland’s finest crossover tenors. Starting in the business at a very young age, the Dublin-born singer has been in the music industry for over 30 years. Paul loves performing in a wide range of productions, from operas to oratorio to recitals and in particular, musical theatre.

Join us as we celebrate the life and work of our namesake, Séamus Ennis, on the date of his 105^th birthday. A brand-new trio of Irish music legends creating fire and wildness that will light up any audience… For the first time ever three of Irish music’s finest exponents come together, Donegal accordionist Dermot Byrne, Paddy Keenan on pipes/whistles, and honorary Kerry-man Anglo/Irish guitarist and accordionist Tim Edey.

Middle-aged filmmaker Julie has brought her elderly mother Rosalind to a mysterious country hotel for a short break. Julie is trying to make a film about her mother’s life – the building used to be Rosalind’s home during the war, and Julie is hoping that staying there will help her mother remember and share details from her past. However the location not only holds fond memories for Rosalind, but also long-buried secrets…

Angie, mischievous and fun loving, reflects on her life as “the other woman” ,delighting the audience with her scandalous tale! VIXEN, written by Helen Casey and performed by Rose Henderson, is a compelling psychological drama of one woman’s resilience, determination and desperation to name the love that was hers, but belonged to another. Both haunting and mesmerizing, it is a visceral exploration of love, unspoken loss and uncomfortable truths. As we are drawn further into Angie’s world, the emotional rollercoaster plunges from the frothy highs to a much darker terrain filled with suspense and a gnawing grief. Tis better to have loved and lost…or is it?
