Ba mhaith linn buíochas mór a ghabháil le gach duine a d’fhreastail ar ranganna nó ar imeachtaí sa bhliain atá caite. Chomh maith leis sin, ba mhaith linn daoine nua a spreagadh chun dul i dtaithí leis an chultúr, leis an cheol agus leis an Ghaeilge mar atá siad ar fáil in An Droichead. Ba mhaith linn tógáil sa bhliain atá romhainn ar ar bhain muid amach in 2009 (agus duais mhór Aislinge bainte againn do Shársheirbhísí don Ghaeilge. Tá clár sámhlaíoch d’imeachtaí curtha le chéile againn, rud a thugann le chéile ealaíontóirí, rinceoirí, ceoltóirí agus léachtóirí a bhfuil clú agus cáil orthu ar fud an domhain. Tá súil againn go bhfaigheann tú rud éigin suntasach sa chlár duit féin, agus cuireann muid fáilte roimh do chuid smaointe féin. Tagann deiseanna úra leis an Athbhliain: deiseanna chun do theanga féin a fhoghlaim, agus le huirlis úr nó ceird eile a thógáil. Cuir scáirt orainn, cuir rphost chugainn, nó buail isteach agus bíodh cupán caife againn. Mar fhocal scoir, bíodh 2010 slán, sásta, sláintiúil agaibh.

Ceolchoirm le John Spillane & Lumiere

Dé hAoine 15 Eanáir 2010

Ticéid £12.50

Doirse 7.30in

“One of the great songwriters to emerge in the last 10 years is John Spillane”

Christy Moore “Other Voices” Feb ‘09

Mar bhuaiteoir faoi dhó de ghradam “Meteor” sa chatagóir ceol na ndaoine/traidisiúnta is fearr, rinne John Spillane camchuairt ar fud na tíre agus an domhain ag spreagadh áthais le meascán d’amhráin shéiseacha, scéalta siamsúla agus liricí fileata.

Rinne Irish Music Magazine cur síos air mar ‘one of the truest Irish voices of his generation’ ‘ agus cuireann Spillane an spiorad Ceilteach i bhfriotal.

Níl ach rud amháin atá cinnte, ag deireadh seó john Spillane ní bheidh súil thirim ar bith sa teach agus tabharfaidh sé ar thuras thú bíodh sin lena amhráin mhothúchánacha nó lena acmhainn grinn Chorcaíoch nó nach mbíodh.

I Lumiere tá Éilís Kennedy agus Pauline Scanlon; beirt amhránaithe eisceachtúla ón Daingean, Chontae Chiarraí, a bhfuil dhá ghuth soiléire ar leith agus fuaim uathúil amháin acu, Éire is ea í. Le chéile mar Lumiere, tá fuaim agus mothúchán baineann ina gcuid ceoil, arb é an guth an phríomhuirlis cheoil é agus arb í Éire an mháthairthír athshamhalta í. Le Lumiere, is é an t-amhrán agus a chanadh an príomhfhócas é, geilleann na buarthaí teicniúla do mhothúcháin agus an t-amhrán agus an t-amhránaí ag teacht le chéile gan stró.

Sa gheilleagar domhanda reatha, is bréagamhráin iad amhráin ainmheasarthachta agus ábharaíocha. Ceolann Lumiere rud éigin níos iomláine agus níos fire. Seo fíoramhránaíocht canta ag fíoramhránaithe ag cur fíormothúchán in iúl. Glacann Lumiere amhráin atá naofa agus sean agus déanann siad athshamhlú simplí agus álainn orthu, ag athéileamh na fírinne agus na muiníne don aois nua-aimseartha.

John Spillane & Lumiere in concert

Friday 15th January 2010

Tickets £12.50

Doors 7.30pm

“One of the great songwriters to emerge in the last 10 years is John Spillane”

Christy Moore “Other Voices” Feb ‘09

Twice winner of the meteor award in the best folk/trad category, John Spillane has toured the country and the world spreading joy with a mix of melodic tunes, entertaining stories and poetic lyrics.

Described as ‘one of the truest Irish voices of his generation’ by Irish music magazine, Spillane truly embodies the Celtic spirit.

The only thing that’s for sure is that whether from the emotive tunes he whisks you on a journey with or his dynamic playful Cork wit, at the end of a John Spillane show there won’t be a dry eye in the house.

In the current global economy, songs of excess and materialism ring hollow. Lumiere offers something more holistic and true. This is real music by real singers communicating real emotions. Lumiere takes something that is sacred and age old and re-imagines it simply and beautifully, reclaiming truth and trust for the modern age.

Two distinct voices one unique sound. Lumiere is Éilís Kennedy and Pauline Scanlon; two exceptional vocalists from Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland. Together as Lumiere, they offer a distinctly feminine sound and feel, where voice is the primary instrument and Ireland as motherland is re-imagined. With Lumiere, the song and its delivery are the primary focus, technical concerns give way to feeling as song and singer effortlessly merge.

Tá An Droichead i ndiaidh clú a tharraingt air féin le bliain go leith anuas mar an príomh ionad ceoil thraidisiúnta
i ndeisceart Bhéal Feirste. Chuaigh an scéal sin ar fud Béal Feirste agus níos faide anonn; rud a chuidigh linn na
ceoltóirí ab fhearr i gcóngar agus i gcéin a mhealladh chuig an lárionad seo. Lóchranna ceiliúrtha atá sna
coirmeacha ceoil abhus anseo sa lárionad. Bíonn atmaisféar ar leith ann agus is minic cuairteoirí nua ag déanamh
tagairt dó ar theacht anseo den chéad uair agus sin ceann de na cúiseanna gur minic a bhíonn na seóanna díolta
amach. Tá a fhios ag idir thionscnóirí agus ealaíontóirí go mbeidh lán tí ann agus lucht éisteachta i láthair atá
eolach agus tuisceanach ar an cheol agus cuireann sin ar ár gcumas ealaíontóirí traidisiúnta den scoth a mhealladh
go deisceart Bhéal Feirste, mar atá Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Dermot Byrne de chuid Altan, Julie Fowlis, TólaCusty,
John Spillane, Alan Kelly,Tim Edey & Bríd Harper agus daoine eile nach iad.

Over the past year and a half An Droichead has quickly and professionally established itself as the premier
traditional music venue in South Belfast. Moreover, this is a reputation that has travelled throughout Belfast and
beyond; one which has granted us access to the very finest of international and local traditional music talent.
Concert nights are a beacon of musical celebration here at the Lárionad. The atmosphere is always commented
upon by our first time visitors, and is one of the reasons that our concert nights are now regularly sold out. The
fact that promoters and artists alike are aware that they will play to a full house and to an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience enables us to attract the cream of traditional artists to south Belfast e.g. Maireád Ní
Mhaonaigh of Altan , Julie Fowlis,Tóla Custy, John Spillane, Alan Kelly to name but a few.
