Wicklow Young Filmmakers
2008 Winners

Robert Manson was the winner of Category 1 of this relatively new competition, for his film, The Silver Bow (Producer Paul Curren). This gentle, thought-provoking film is about a street performer who meets his son in town for an hour before he goes to work. Duration: 8 mins

Dylan Haskins won Category 2 with his documentary, Roll up your sleeves: The DIY Counterculture. The film is a colourful exploration of the ‘Do-It-Yourself’ counterculture, starting from Dylan’s alternative community and moving onto his European tour with US folk punk band. Independent music features throughout the film. Duration: 27 mins.
Both winners will be available for a brief discussion on their films, after the screenings.

Jimi Cullen Singer/songwriter

If you want to go on a journey from protest songs through love songs to those that squeeze every drop of emotion out of you, then Jimi Cullen is your man.
Jimi is a solo musician from Gorey. He has been writing and performing for over three years and has built a good reputation as one of the hardest working musicians, with over 500 gigs to his credit. His debut album, When the last leaf falls, was released in 2007 and has sold over 1,000 copies, receiving good reviews in Hotpress.
Jimi’s music can best be described as mix between Folk, Grunge, Blues and Rock, mixed with a healthy dose of originality.

Last Live Night of the season

May 2008 The Space Inside

The final Space Inside Live Night of the
2007/8 season had another great lineup of quality acts.
Due to construction work at the Wicklow Sailing Club, the session was held in the smaller room in the club. The intimate surroundings gave the night a party atmosphere with all the performers really enjoying the experience and asking to come back next season.

The lineup included:


Indiivara
Indiivara are a tribal dance group. They dance
American Tribal Style Ballydance Dance, which takes
its influences, both in its dance moves and dress
code, from tribes from around the world.
The group trains under Wendy Marlett a renowned
teacher who herself trained with the originator
of tribal dance, Carolina Nericcio. The basis of Tribal
dance is a community of dancers coming together in
dance. The dance itself is unchoreographed with the
dancers relying on a variety of cues, move cues or
voice cues to enable the dancers to stay together.
Members are made up of many nationalities including
Irish, Scottish, Spanish, French and American. Two
of the dancers live here in Wicklow.

Colm Lynch
Relentless gigging in the 18 months since the release
of his widely acclaimed debut album ‘A Whisper In A
Riot’, must place Colm Lynch at the forefront of
contenders for hardest working musician in Ireland.
His approach to song writing is firmly based on the
philosophy that a good song should have a strong
melody and meaningful lyrics. Colm has been
bringing this message to an ever-expanding audience
while consolidating his loyal fan base.
Along with his solo performances in pubs and clubs
across Ireland, he has supported acts as diverse as
The Blizzards, Julie Feeney, Kate Walsh, Aslan, John
Power, Foy Vance and Mundy.
His forthcoming appearances include Castlepalooza,
The Button Factory, The Dalkey Arts Festival, The
Bray Summer Fest and The Ballyknockan Festival.
