Live Night Tuesday 2 October 2012

Rosy Wilson lives in the Wicklow Hills. She is a Poetry Ireland Introduction poet and her poems have been published in several magazines and anthologies including The SHOp, Stinging Fly and Space Inside Magazine. She is an active member of Amnesty International. Rosy will be reading poems from her latest book, Keeper of the Creek.

Joe Corkish is a filmmaker of great talent. Tonight we will be screening one of his ‘shorts’: a modern-day adaptation of the story of a young girl who was run down by a horse and cart in the early 1800s, on the day before her communion (14 mins). There will be a Q & A session afterwards.

 Robyn Kavanagh is a soul singer/songwriter from Wicklow Town who you may remember for her great performances on the RTE talent competition ‘You’re a Star.’ Her influences include Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Destiny’s Child. On the night, Robyn will sing some of her own songs, including her latest ‘I don’t know’. A great performer with a great voice.

All in all, it promises to be an exciting night

Open Mic Live Night - Tuesday 5 June @ 7.30

It's the final Space Inside Open Mic Live Night of the season which, weather permitting, will be held on the roof of the Wicklow Sailing Club. Note earlier kick off time of 7.30 to get the most out of the evening sun! Just turn up and perform - be it poetry, music, dance or drama.

We have two sets of Special Guests - Mia Parsons and Evelyn Campbell in harmony, and Anne Graham and friends. And there's still plenty of time for those Open Mic performers!

Mia Parsons is a singer whose voice has been described as being like 'chocolate'. A singer/songwriter, her deeply moving music spans jazz/funk and blues. A regular performer at festivals and other musical events, she has worked with many of the great Irish jazz musicians, including Richie, Hugh and Michael Buckley, Greg Felton, Myles, Paul and Anto Drennan, to mention a few. She released her album 'OCEAN' in 2007.

Evelyn Campbell's musical career started when, as a teenager, she sang and played around the pubs and clubs of Dublin with such well-known contemporaries as 'Tir Ná Nog' and Freddie White. While singing backing vocals for Sonny Condell of 'Tir Ná Nog', she once supported Kate and Anna McGarrigle on a rare Irish tour. She believes that when a song is written it takes a life of its own and 'demands' to be performed. This creative and fruitful phase has resulted in her album 'OVERDUE REVIEW'. A source of topics that influence Evelyn's songs concern social justice, political upheaval, and community awareness.

Annie Graham is a singer-songwriter and guitarist living in Wicklow. She has one album and a Christmas E.P. under her belt with her band Aphrodite Lion, who are currently working on their second E.P. Annie has been compared to the likes of Florence and the Machine, PJ Harvey, and Sharon Van Etten. As special guest, she will sing some songs off the Aphrodite Lion E.P., as well as a few of her solo numbers. She will be joined on some tracks by her friends S.A.M on the night

This DVD is their latest collaborative project which has evolved into a unique poetry film to inspire.

Miriam Keegan is a singer songwriter from Dublin based in Wicklow Town.  After studying music performance in Ballyfermot, she went on to study theatre performance. Coming back to her musical roots, she has never lost her love for song and musical expression. She is greatly influenced by many performers from Tori Amos to Roy Orbison and will be reinterpreting her favourite songs, as well as performing some of her own
