“With each successive album, Luka Bloom digs deeper and gazes wider… he is on top form.” - The Irish Times **** 2016 Review of ‘Frugalisto’
With a poet's heart and a rockster's soul, Luka Bloom is regarded as one of Ireland's most respected contemporary folk artists, having produced over 20 albums since the 1970s, Bloom continues to push the boundaries of what his music can do. A master interpreter, Bloom has continued to balance original songs with reinventions of tunes by a diverse range of songwriters.
Like many who write songs, Luka's orchestra of choice is the guitar. What makes his career a little different is his constant search for a new voice within the guitar. The guitar is the landscape on which the song is created, and he is forever probing that landscape for new inspiration. No effects, no gadgets. Time, effort and a whole lot of love bring forth new voicings within the instrument, and bit by bit, the songs come to life. And eventually they fly, bringing Luka with them to be heard in Byron Bay, San Francisco, Hamburg, or even Doolin. Almost 40 years since recording his first album, Luka Bloom comes to the SEAC with his latest album, 'Frugalisto'. Website: http://www.lukabloom.com

Tina lives and works in Strandhill, Co. Sligo. Her works have been purchased by Sligo Institute of Technology and The Office of Public Works and can be found in several collections throughout Germany, England, America, Canada and Ireland.
“My paintings are based on observations of Strandhill peninsula and its weather. Studio Paintings are not pre-planned. I use a method of laying down and scraping off paint. Each layer and brush mark, informs the next. I repeat this layering and rejecting until I can locate myself and recognize the place and its weather. These paintings are an emotional response by me to environment and place. Tina Brooks’ work will be exhibited in our Easter Snow Gallery until the end of November 2017.

For centuries landscape artists have looked to nature to better understand the mysteries of life, our relationship with nature and the human condition. Given our current position in the 21st century - climate change, global warming and capitalism's clamour for global resources - I feel the subject matter is more urgent than ever.”

Maureen (Kristen Stewart) is a celebrity PA, picking up the latest bale of designer couture for her starlet employer. Since her arrival in Paris, messages have been appearing on her phone from an unknown sender, who seems to be watching her. With the recent sudden death of her 27-year-old twin, Maureen silently battles with the grief and sorrow while looking for a sign from her brother; who assured her he’d try and contact her from beyond the grave.
A remarkable performance from Kristen Stuart powers this cryptic, elegant, erotic, contemporary take on the classic ghost story. Give yourself over to its secrets and prepare to be hypnotised.

Two pioneer maestros of bluegrass music in Ireland bring it all back home! Gerry Madigan and George Kaye made their separate marks on Ireland’s live music scene in two phenomenally successful bands of the late 1960s and 1970s. George Kaye, in the Smokey Mountain Ramblers, and Gerry Madigan in the Cotton Mill Boys, pushed the envelope, changed the way audiences viewed country music, and set new standards of excellence.
The Smokey Mountain Ramblers served up a unique sample of old-time country, bluegrass, Carter Family, and roots music. George was the first musician to front a full band on the ballroom circuit playing electric fiddle, and wowed packed houses with his dynamic rendition of ‘Orange Blossom Special’ and other bluegrass favourites. The Cotton Mill Boys, featuring Gerry on 5-string banjo, vocals, and pedal steel guitar; extended their reach into cabaret venues throughout Ireland and the UK; won ‘Opportunity Knocks’ (similar to today’s ‘American Idol’) with their new fiddler, Charlie Arkins; recorded 15 albums and 25 singles; and the only band in history to have a #1 and #2 hit record concurrently in the Irish music charts. Now, they’re ‘bringing it all back home’, playing a rich blend of authentic bluegrass, folk, country, and roots music (sprinkled with some original compositions), featuring a special guest at each show. An exciting night of dynamic live music - this is a show not to be missed!
