This has been a year of change for the SEAC with the building and restoration of our newcourtyard area. The term ‘partnership’ is oftenused whenever arts capital projects are beingdeveloped and this was indeed a truepartnership between Fingal County Council and The SEAC. We now have a new outdoorperformance area, which will double ouraudience capacity and establish a new space forthe cafe. Thanks to the funding, design skills andvision of Fingal County Council officials from theArts & Architecture departments, we now haveGairdín an Phíobaire, The Piper’s Garden, whichwe will officially launch in late June.

As for events, well we have the brilliant Kíla, The 4 Of Us and Liam Ó Maonlaí’s new projectRé, all performing outdoors, as well as a Pipers’Session and other fun packed arts activities forthose blue sky days. Other highlights includeFreddie White, Mick Flannery and the wonderfulJulie Fowlis.

The SEAC aims to bring you the very best oftraditional music from across the globe and withcontinued support from the Arts Council, we aredelighted to announce the piping sensations thatare Ireland’s Jarlath Henderson and Scotland’sRoss Ainslie performing here in May. We alsohave BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, BellaHardy with her only Irish gig of the year and thestunning voice of Sarah McQuaid performing atour annual Séamus Ennis Tribute event. We aredelighted to welcome the return of the superbLúnasa to the SEAC stage in June.

Finally I would like to welcome our firstinternational Art Exhibition with three ofScotland’s finest landscape photographers, PhilMcMenemy, Morag Paterson and Ted Leeming,all showcasing their mesmerising work based onthe theme of water, which I believe is plentiful intheir part of the world.

Pierce Turner

“Easily one of the most important Irish rock artists ofthe last twenty years” - The Irish Times

Whether as a singer or songwriter or performer,Pierce Turner has a penchant for the unexpected andthe unorthodox, re-writing the rules for all threeendeavours. Sometimes he performs from behind histrusty keyboard backed by a solo instrument (sax,maybe, or violin or trombone!). Or he can be outfront-of-house clambering over tables and orderingdrinks from the bar. In the middle of a song! Hisalbums too are equally mercurial, showing influencesranging from his Catholic Irish upbringing to thedecadence of Lou Reed's New York, merging theupfront rock of The Byrds, The Beach Boys and TheWho to deft touches of Irish trad, folk, jazz, techno,classical and choral harmonies. Don't miss a rarechance to experience this exiled Irish performer withhis stunning songbook and his legendary stagepresence.

“He has created what I confidently believe to be thefinest body of work in contemporary Irish music, barnone.” - Liam Fay, The Sunday Times

Bella Hardy

Bella Hardy, BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of theYear 2014, tours her eagerly anticipated new album‘With The Dawn’; a heartfelt collection of self-composed songs which tell a story of travel, ofchoices, of lessons unlearned, and also of hope. Oneof the most creative, prolific and original singers inthe UK, her captivating voice inhabits her music andspins her narratives with an equal balance ofstrength and sensitivity. Bella writes: "With TheDawn is the musical record of the busiest and mostcomplicated time of my life. I was always on tour;alone, with different bands; I travelled across theAtlantic for the first time, with one trip to Canadaand another to America; I won the folk singer award,I turned 30, I was single, I was exhausted, I wasjubilant. I was constantly questioning. I try to makesense of the world through writing, but I haven't putthat writing out in such a direct manner before." The‘With The Dawn’ Band compliment Bella's breath-taking vocals and narrative fiddle with a powerfuland evocative mix of banjo, piano, electronics anddrums. With roots firmly within the folk tradition,songs written straight from the heart, and bold stepsinto a new world of sound and expression, this is aperformance not to be missed.

Individually they’re two of the best players aroundbut collectively they create a chemistry that is almostmagic and have fast become one of the most talkedabout combinations on the circuit. They are not onlyvastly talented but have created a sound that isbursting with emotion and energy - a fusion of pipesand flutes which pushes the boundaries of what theinstruments can achieve in a performance which is avibrant mix of new and original compositions alongwith traditional tunes. Two of the most major talentsin contemporary Celtic piping, Scotland’s RossAinslie and Tyrone-born Jarlath Henderson first metback in 2003 at the William Kennedy Piping Festivalin Armagh. After taking their time to hone andperfect their unique partnership of Scottish bagpipesand Irish uilleann pipes, each also playing a variety ofwhistles, the pair exploded onto the scene with2009’s stunning debut album, 'Partners in Crime'.With last year’s album ‘Air-Fix’ a critical success, they are back on the road joined by the wonderfullytalented Ali Hutton on guitar, doing what they do best.

Launch of Exhibitionby Stephen Nolan

*All welcome, but please RSVP by [email protected] or call 01-8020898*

Stephen Nolan is a Wexford born painter living andworking in Gorey, Co. Wexford. His paintings arecolourful statements on modern Irish culture and thephysical world he inhabits. Using a mix of consideredgeometric forms contrasting with bold expressivebrushwork he achieves an offbeat dynamism in hiscompositions, while accenting the paintings with littleislands of fine detail, he likes to create pieces thatlend themselves to thought and contemplation. Hispaintings are created on a modest scale, created onstretched canvas pulled taut over wooden panels. Inthis way he achieves an overall aesthetic that subtlymoves the meaning away from the image into thedomain of the Art object and the ‘handmade’. Whilesimultaneously use of strong colour means that whengrouped together these paintings create a joyfullycolourful gallery environment filled with multiplepoints of interest that creates a fascinating visualexperience for the viewer. Loaded with humour thepaintings are witty remarks on Ireland and what itmeans to be Irish, all set in an interesting display ofbeautiful Objet d’art for the gallery visitor to spendtime with and reflect on at their leisure.

At the launch, Stephen will talk about his paintingsand practice and will also bring along his sketchbooksfor viewing and discussion.

Stephen Nolan’s work will be exhibited in our EasterSnow Gallery during June and July.

Open daily, from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free.

It exhibits theculmination of their explorations into the SouthwestScottish heartland and a personal study of the life-giving force. Water has long been an inspiration forart across many different disciplines spanning thecenturies. What better subject than one thattransforms endlessly and provides a mirror for lightand landscape. The sounds and atmosphere aroundwater are also associated with emotional responses inhumans; the crash of a stormy sea, gently lappingwaves, the constant babbling of a burn. Ted, Moragand Phil set out on journeys through their locallandscape to investigate these qualities and to try tocapture the many forms water can take. They did thisby carefully selecting sections of watercourses toattempt to depict its force, power, form and structure.The resulting images demonstrate both common anddisparate interactions with water in their ownindividual graphic styles.
