Sharing this 'cos it's my event to celebrate the release of my 11th album.



"Join Mixile & a host of DJs & musicians in celebrating the release of the phenomenal "Of Light & Dark" in the heart of Waterford City at Hive on the corner of Michael Street & New Street.

Doors 7 - 11

Admission / Corkage €5


A departure from all of his previous work, miXile's "Of Light and Dark" takes influence from classic electronic artists such as Klaus Schulze and early Tangerine Dream - with their clean, detailed synthesizer work - but warps their expressive vision through the lenses of gritty techno, cerebral drone, and impressionistic maximalism."

miXile has been working in the area of experimental music since 1988, has released 11 albums and regularly performs at festivals and events around Europe.

Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye by Jim Nolan
Fri 4 - Sat 26 Mar, 8pm
Wed 30 Mar, 8.15pm St Michael's Theatre, Ballyduff Upper, Co Waterford
Tickets from €15 http://www.garterlane.ie

Coming hot on the heels of Dreamland, and directed by the author, Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye is a topical and provocative contribution to the forthcoming Easter Rising Centenary Commemoration.

Set in a provincial newspaper office in the Irish Midlands in the run up to Easter 2016, the privately owned Inishshannon Chronicle has just been acquired by a media conglomerate and the new brush is about to sweep clean. As the newspaper's staff adjust to radical changes in its structure and ethos, the town it serves prepares to celebrate a tenuous connection to the Easter Rising. The revelation that this connection is not quite what it seems puts the Chronicle's editor on a collision course with both his new bosses and the local business and political community.

"A richly layered drama to be stored in the memory and revisited time and again to retrieve its subtle wisdom." (The Salvage Shop) Irish Times

"Hugely courageous... a deeply serious work of soul-raking big-stage literature." (Blackwater Angel) The Guardian

"A stunningly beautiful, deeply uplifting play" (Brighton) Arena, RTE Radio One

"Enormously courageous... A reminder of a shameful era and mindset in our country, by those of every political allegiance." (Dreamland) Sunday Independent

A public protest has been called for next Saturday 24th September 2-4pm, The Glen, Waterford in support of equal access to 24/7 emergency cardiac heart attack care

South East Patients Advocacy Group appeal to the people of the South East to come out and voice your protest at the ongoing erosion of services including cardiology services at Waterford University Hosptial.

This protest is non political and there will be no political speeches - this is purely a protest by the people whose lives are being affected by the ongoing cuts to services available to them in University Hospital Waterford

The politicians had their say... the consultants had their say... now it's our turn... let's show them that we are not going to lie down and accept this despicable situation any longer

Another protest blocking up the town on a prime shopping day.

I really think they will pay attention in Dublin to this one :ermm:
