'Hedgerows' by Yanny Petters
Yanny Petters has been painting detailed portraits of wild plants since the 1990s. Her love and interest in botanical art stemmed from her work as a signwriter where plant themes were common in decorative design. Her paintings are in a number of important collections including the Dr. Shirley Sherwood Collection at Kew Gardens, London and the Office of Public Works, in Wicklow Mountains National Park and the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin. She was recently awarded a Merit by the Golden Fleece Award. She is a member of the Irish Society of Botanical Artists, the Water Colour Society of Ireland and the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club. Yanny is represented by the Olivier Cornet Gallery in Great Denmark Street, Dublin. www.oliviercornetgallery.com
In her exhibition at the Séamus Ennis Arts Centre artist Yanny Petters will present a series of monotype nature prints of the plants associated with that iconic element of the Irish countryside, the Hedgerow. Yanny's exhibition will be displayed in our Easter Snow Gallery until the 1st week in June. Open daily from 10:30am to 4:30pm. All welcome. Doors Open: 10am Website: http://www.yannypetters.net

The hedgerow goes back a long way in our history, dividing and yet holding together a rich habitat that remains after our forests were cleared. Land boundaries can be traced back to Neolithic times and the circa 12th Century Townland boundaries are the countrys' longest standing land divisions.
At a time when farming practices are changing in scale many of these valuable habitats are being removed. While we might plant new hedges, it is the ancient ones which support up to 3000 organisms from flowers and trees, birds and animals to insects and microscopic creatures, without which our land would become desolate.
As we become more concerned about a changing climate we will look to hedgerows to serve as windbreaks, to shelter our livestock, reduce soil erosion, aid drainage and provide homes for beneficial predators who protect our food crops from pests. These harbours of biodiversity should be cherished for the health of our future generations.
In Yanny Petters work she raises awareness of our wild plants, opening our eyes to a miriad of wonders in our local environment. It's not just a bunch of weeds, but truly amazing and beautifully evolved species living in symbiotic harmony.

Layla, Salma, and Nour are three Palestinian women with Israeli citizenship living in an apartment in the vibrant center of Tel Aviv. Despite being "independent", they find themselves 'in between' the free and unfettered lives they're aspiring to lead, and the restrictions still imposed on them by their country and their families. Laila, a successful lawyer, craves the love of a good man who she thinks she's found in the apparently open-minded and handsome Ziad. Salma works at menial jobs in restaurants and bars hoping her long-held dream of being a DJ becomes a reality.
Nour who is studying for a degree and seeks a simple life is set for an arranged marriage to fiancé Wissam, seemingly a pillar of the community but who behind closed doors is not the man he appears to be. **** "It's great fun, with a powerful sense of narrative." - The Times **** "A brave film befitting its brave depiction of women." - The Irish Times Director: Maysaloun Hamoud SEAC Friends/Members - FREE, advance booking essential Concessions and guests of SEAC Friends/Members - €4 in advance, €6 at the door Non-Members - €5 in advance, €7 at the door Website: http://accesscinema.ie

Many common ailments can be safely treated at home, using wild or cultivated herbs. We can also boost our immune systems and fight infection by including herbs in our diet. This workshop will teach you how to make your own safe and effective herbal remedies and how to incorporate beneficial herbs into your everyday cooking. Participants will leave with enough knowledge and confidence to start using herbal remedies immediately to treat many conditions: sore throats; dry and chesty coughs; mouth and gum conditions; indigestion and stomach conditions; sprains and strains; burns and stings.
Correct identification is vital when using wild plants for culinary or medicinal purposes. The morning session of this workshop takes place at The Herb Garden, where you will learn how to safely identify wild and cultivated medicinal herbs. The identification session will be followed by a practical demonstration on making base herbal preparations, i.e. infusions, decoctions, oils, tinctures and cough syrups. Once you learn these basic skills, you will then learn which herbs to use to treat specific ailments. Participants will receive detailed notes and recipes. Places are limited so please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Whitney Rebecca Rose was born and raised in Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. Her grandparents ran a bar called the Union Hall. Rose's favorite song from the age of two was Hank Williams’ “There’s a Tear in My Beer”, which she'd sing to bar customers — sometimes crawling downstairs after her bedtime, and sometimes being paid a dollar to sing. As she jokes, "I guess it became my career pretty early on. And the pay is about the same now, too. Not much has changed.”
Turning her nose up at her family collection of more currently popular fare, Rose favored the "queen bees" of Nashville like Kitty Wells, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton. She also preferred "country kingpins" like Hank Williams, George Jones, and Keith Whitley. Rummaging through her grandparents’ cassette tapes, she discovered the Ronettes and “the ‘Runaround Sue’ guy,” Dion DiMucci. Of her taste for music, Rose says, “I still listen to that stuff today. And I did even through my teenage years. My friends never wanted to drive with me because I would not be listening to like quote-unquote, cool music”. "Don't Take Yourself Too Damn Seriously”, is the origin of both the title and ethos of Whitney Rose's latest album, Rule 62. "WHITNEY ROSE’S VOICE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMIN' ON OUT OF A TIME MACHINE IN RCA’S STUDIO B IN NASHVILLE CIRCA 1960. HER SONGWRITING BLENDS VINTAGE R&B AND RETRO COUNTRY.” - MAGNET “THE SOUND THE YOUNG SINGER-SONGWRITER HAS CRAFTED FOR HERSELF IS ENTIRELY TEXAN TWANG.” - ROLLING STONE “READY-MADE FOR PACKING A CENTRAL TEXAS DANCE HALL.” - AUSTIN CHRONICLE Doors Open: 8:00pm Website: http://whitneyrosemusic.com

Playful yet uncompromising, Whitney Rose reminds us of popular music's rich history of strong female voices and perspectives, and on Rule 62, she channels her inner Nancy Sinatra, Bobbie Gentry and Françoise Hardy. Rule 62 finds Rose "breaking up with patriarchy," a breakup evidenced by new songs that show verve, swagger and self-assurance in Rose's instinctive sense of tone, broadened scope and attention to detail.

Join us as we celebrate the life and work of our namesake, Séamus Ennis, on the date of his 99th birthday. Robbie Hannan was born in Belfast and raised in Holywood, Co. Down. He began to take an interest in Irish traditional music as a result of listening to his parents' record collection. Hearing the recordings of Paddy Maloney with the The Chieftains and Liam O'Flynn with Planxty, he decided to take up the pipes in 1977. Influenced by the piping of Séamus Ennis, Willie Clancy and Tommy Reck, he has also adapted some of the repertoire of the Donegal fiddle playing tradition to the pipes. Robbie has made numerous recordings including a duet recording with fiddle player Paddy Glackin (for Gael-linn) and has taught the advanced piping class at the Willie Clancy Summer School in Co. Clare and at Scoil Acla in Co. Mayo for several years. Robbie studied Celtic languages and literature and Law at Queen's University, Belfast and is currently Curator of Musicology at The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.
Paddy Glackin, a former member of the well-known Bothy Band and a noted commentator and lecturer on Irish music is also greatly in demand as a session player. Paddy, as a young fiddler, became close to Séamus Ennis from 1970 onwards. “Séamus was a legend even in the 1950s and 1960s... I remember one night in the 1970s he did a gig without a note of music – just talk. And he got a standing ovation at the end of the night.” Now a senior producer in RTÉ Radio, Paddy is as comfortable playing the music of John Cage as he is sitting down to play tunes with Robbie Hannan. Tickets are limited, please book early to avoid disappointment. Doors Open: 8:00pm Commences At: 8:30pm Admission: In advance: €16 / €13 At the door: €18 / €14
