[spectre] New poetry from the Rinn Gaeltacht

[Séamas Cain]

_______________


On Friday, September 18th, 2009, IMRAM, the annual Irish-language
literary festival, will present a special evening of performances of
poetry, music & song from the Rinn Gaeltacht.  (The poems will be
spoken or sung & simultaneously displayed in powerpoint.)

This event will take place at 7:00 p.m. at THE NEW THEATRE, 43 East
Essex Street in Dublin, Ireland.  Admission is 5 euros.

Áine Uí Cheallaigh gained acclaim for her version of “Lift the Wings”
in Riverdance.  She was born in Belfast, her father’s hometown.  Her
mother was from An Rinn.  Her musical influences can be traced to both
areas.  Her first solo album, "Idir Dhá Chomhairle," was released in
1992.

Stiofán Ó Cadhla is an expert in many areas, including folklore, holy
wells, & cartography.  His first collection of poetry, "An Creideamh
Déanach," explores history & family.

Áine Uí Fhoghlú’s second collection of poetry, "An Liú sa Chuan," won
the 2009 Michael Hartnett Award; in their citation the judges praised
her "strikingly beautiful" imagery.

The night's events will be steered by bean an tí Catherine Foley.
