 Rory O’Sullivan lives in Wicklow Town. He is a young, up-and-coming poet whose influences are two of the greats: Yeats and Kavanagh. ‘There is a stillness  in music and words that captures me. Music and words come hand in hand, let them help you, let them heal you, for that is their purpose, and that's why I write,’ says Rory.

Winner of the Xmas Factor ’09 Writing competition held in Wicklow Library, Rory is also a keen songwriter and musician and plays in the band, ‘Rebel Diamond’.

Catch the Moon


Postponed due to snow, our four writers are now ready and waiting to present their poetry performance. The reading flows between their unique voices, addressing the vibrant themes of love + sex; men and women; nature and home; body + soul.

Each poet introduces one of the themes, which is followed by 2 poems by each performer.


We look forward to Kathy D’Arcy, Jane Clarke, Tina Pisco and Shirley McClure’s unique performance.

Oltremara


Oltremara's vision is to introduce the Mediterranean's musical and folk heritage to a new audience and to create a cultural fusion of the traditional music, song and dance of Southern Italy and Ireland.


The 5 band members met in Ireland by chance and all of them come from different musical and dance backgrounds. Inspired by traditional dance and ancient folk tales, all of the band's songs reflect their cultural heritage while experimenting with new sounds to bring a fresh and exciting experience to their audience.
