Delighted to announce our guest artist for Sept 29th Open Mic in Abbey Lane Theatre is the talented musician and songwriter Conchur White.
An Armagh county native Conchúr White has been releasing music under his own name from 2019 to critical acclaim. The former 'Silences' front man has since released 2 EPs and signed with the highly regarded record label 'Bella Union' (Father John Misty, Beach House, Fleet Foxes, Flaming Lips) ahead of the release of his debut album.
Conchúr has toured with the likes of Villagers, John Grant, Billie Marten and supported legendary artists such as John Cale (Velvet Underground) and Echo and The Bunnymen. 
Conchur first graced the Open Mic stage in July's John Hewitt Summer School taking a slot near the close of the evening and made an instant hit with the packed audience. So excited to have him back as Guest Artist and on this month's longer slot. Dont miss this guy on his way to stardom.

A rousing set from the wonderful 'Woodbees' got us all singing along at this month's Open Mic after an international flavour from our contributors.  Poland, France and England were all represented along with nearer to home Crossgar, Dungannon and the darker reaches of Umgola. 

MC on the night Rachel Toner called for contributions from poet John Henderson with his memories of home town Liverpool. Matthew Toner's short poem  'Over thinking'. CoDown's Joseph Conlon's yarn 'Time for Kindness' and poem 'Teachers'. Up next was Mark Brownlee with an excerpt from his forthcomming novelette themed on mental health ( www.bluemanic.com). This piece, chatting up a French student you fancy when your French is far from fancy .

The eagerly awaited return of Dymphna Ferran, after her lay-up last month, was enthusiastically applauded and she didn't disappoint. Yarns about 'Murphy' , Nuns and asses and doubledecker buses kept us all in laughter.

Malachi Kelly acknowledged the 10th anniversay of Seamus Heaney's passing with the bard's ' The Conway Stewart' and his own poems 'He has matured' and 'Armagh and Don't forget me Da'.

We broke for the much anticipated raffle with some unbelievable prizes being  snapped up by the lucky punters. Then our first Polish contributor swept to the stage. Agata Banc who sang, for the first time in public, a traditional Polish song ' Hey Teksanski'  and another star emerges from Abbey Lane. 

Hard to follow Agata but our guest artists 'The Woodbees' entertain us with golden oldies and sing-a-long tunes for the next few slots Pauline McDonald, Elma McEneaney ( vocals and Ukeleles) and 'Rocky' (guitar).

Dymphna returned and her poem about her own mother passing with dementia was very moving. Malachi's piece on the Art of Conversation and then 'The Woodbee's were enticed back to finish the night with their newly found lead singer Agata who's powerful voice belied her previous shyness. 

All in all another great wee night in Abbey Lane. Thanks go to all the audience who came, contributors and guests 'The Woodbees', ticket collectors, and members who 'cleared the stage' for the next rehearsals of 'Impact' coming to MPT in November. Last but not least Rachel Toner for her exquisite Master of Ceremonies talents.

The Holywood Players present acclaimed comedic thriller ‘Deathtrap’ – one night only!

 

The Holywood Players invite you to join them for a fabulous night of entertainment full of suspense, thrills and laughter that will keep you enthralled until the very final moment.

 

In this acclaimed dark comedic thriller by Ira Levin, washed-up playwright Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a successful play in years and money is getting tight. But when Clifford, a student of a creative writing course he’s teaching, comes to him for advice on a script he’s written, his prayers are answered.

 

Sidney recognises the script immediately as a sure fire hit and his ticket back to Broadway success. The only issue is, does Clifford want to share the credit...and what will Sidney do if he doesn’t?

 

Holding the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway and nominated for four Tony awards including Best Play, Deathtrap will keep you on the edge of your seats. Full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, thrills and laughter- you will be holding your breath until the very end.

 

Catch Deathtrap at the Market Place Theatre, Armagh at 8pm on Friday 25 August.

 

Tickets are £15 (£13 concession) and can be bought through the box office:

Top prize £30 goes to Ellen McKenna; 'I wish' topic.

I Wish

Wouldn't this earth be a better place?
I wish this could be so.

 

Jenny Murray ( Highly commended);  'Nostalgic memories' topic

Fearlessly running, skipping, hoping and jumping, without a care in this world.

DO WORDS DEFINE?

'BORDER TALK'  - Expression of Interest Form
Storytellers of Ireland in partnership with The Armstrong Storytelling Trust have recently launched a joint cross border storytelling project called 'Border Talk'.  Funded by the International Fund for Ireland (IFI), the project promises to deliver cross border, cross community storytelling events and training programmes to promote the tradition of oral storytelling and in turn develop a network of storytellers who can deliver cross-border events, leading to increased cross-border activities and reconciliation amongst border communities.  The border area is a unique landscape with a rich heritage in the oral tradition of storytelling. We invite expressions of interest from anyone from the border counties of Armagh and Monaghan for Phase 1 of this project. This EOI seeks to establish a group of participants from these counties in a bespoke storytelling training program, leading to a National Open College Network (NOCN) Level 2 Unit in Oral Storytelling skills for performance.

The training will provide participants with essential storytelling skills. Training will include research work as well as presentation skills required to tell stories to an audience.  Some preparation work will also be required outside of contact (class) time.  Candidates will be required to deliver a short oral storytelling performance and collate a small portfolio of evidence for their final assessment.  A laptop / computer with internet access will be essential to take part in the course.

Course Tutors & Assessors : Liz Weir MBE & Stephen O'Hara of Armstrong Storytelling Trust
