Hi folks,
Quick message to let you know Lou McMahon will be playing in the scholars on Monday night. The evening kicks off at nine and is free entry so feel free to pop in.

Lou McMahon is a contemporary folk / rock artist from Co. Clare, Ireland. Her music showcases a multitude of melodic riches in a vibrant package.

Lou's biggest platform yet came in 2012 when she signed a licensing deal with ARC Music record label - the name for top quality world and folk music. Her song 'Wide Eyed Lady' will feature on a compilation album called 'Ultimate Guide To Irish Folk' spanning 30 years, and will be distributed around the globe in 2013. Wide Eyed Lady is track no. 3 on Lou's EP Delicate Dancer, released in 2009.

Lou worked on Delicate Dancer with Terry Woods of The Pogues fame who oversees and features on Lou's recorded material. In June 2012, McMahon released a single titled 'Into The Wild' and she is currently working in the studio on a new album which she hopes to release in 2013. (Sacrifice will feature on the new album)

In 2011, The Irish Daily Mail Newspaper and The Apprentice reality television series joined forces to create a musical task for the show. Thousands of artists entered the competition and Lou was one of the lucky ones to win through and have her 'song 'A River' featured on the 'Fighting Chance' CD - as Track No. 1 no less! The CD was distributed throughout Ireland with The Irish Daily Mail Newspaper. Danny McElhinney of The Irish Daily Mail say's that Lou 'Is One To Watch'.

A performance on TV3's Ireland AM in 2010 lead to McMahon filling the upstairs venue in Whelan's, Dublin . Lou has played support to critically acclaimed artists - Mundy, Jack L, Mary Coughlan, Freddie White and more in venues all around Ireland.

Anyone have any experience with the scuba diving or skydiving club? Would looove to join them!

Haven't joined either, but I know someone in the skydiving club and they love it. They're always away jumping, not just in Ireland.

Although, if anyone's looking for a good club to join, the Archery Club is always worth a go *hint**hint**wink**wink*
I don't really have much experience with any others, other than the Equestrian Club, which didn't do much as they aren't long set up and the Photography Society, which (for me personally, and I speak only on my behalf) was a waste of time.

I haven't joined either of them but I have only ever heard good things from friends who have.

Both clubs are really good at organising trips for dives or jumps at the weekends.

ynwa14 · 22-08-2013 1:46pm

Anyone able to tell me what goes on in the Drama Soc? I'm quite excited about finding places to keep up my love of performing arts once I move down, so it'd be cool to hear what its like at UL

Also may as well shtick this question here and risk sounding like a div, what goes on during Freshers?

This I can get on board with :P

wnolan1992 · 22-08-2013 2:15pm

Fresher's Week is basically just a drinking session tbh. Basically you go out every night (literally. If you don't, frankly, you're doing it wrong) and get to know your housemates, people in your course, randomers, etc. Usually on the Thursday the SU puts on a gig in the Courtyard, but it's been a bit sh*t the past two years tbh (Fresher Fest 2k10 4eva! :P). The nightclubs in town usually do promotions and stuff as well.

Freshers week usually involves a paint party, a foam party and stuff if you're going by the college and they're worth going to once or twice (if you don't mind the cold!). Nightclubs are open every night. It's good for making friends and getting to know people

Yup. You can join a society at any point, just go onto the ulwolves site, register, ask to join the soc then head along to a meeting and you'll be able to pay the memebership fee (if there is one) and be set up.

Poppy121 · 13-09-2013 10:56pm

Is there any reg fee taken out of the 20euro or is it 100% pizepool?

Chris Martin · 16-11-2013 5:56am

100% prize pool.
May need to pay €2 reg fee if you're not part of society but can't guarantee that.
I do know entire 20 euro is going to prize pool though and we're hoping for around 100 giving the estimated 2k prize pool and 10-15% of field place.

Good, I'm not sure but yes to the second one. Apparently, the kayaking club is very good too.
