The Arts House

How fantastic to welcome back theatre to the newly refurbished Briery Gap Theatre in Macroom. Conor Tallon sat down with Jack Healy and Peter Gowan to talk about the first production in the new theatre: "Declan's Got Talent" https://brierygap.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173653121

Few artists genuinely deserve the accolade of "Legend". There is no arguing the title when it comes to Phil Coulter. He has had chart hits in every decade since the 60s. Worked with everyone from Elvis to Little Mix. Won the Eurovision. Wrote "Congratulations". Made us laugh with Billy Connolly. Made us weep more times than we can remember. Produced Planxty. Written for The Dubliners. Collaborated with Luke Kelly. Wrote for the Bay City Rollers. It's impossible to list it all. And HE STILL KEEPS GOING! Back in Cork Opera House for an unforgettable night on October 31st.

Conor Tallon had a chat with Mark Francis about Rebel City Drama Club's production of "Successful Strategies" at the Nano Nagle Theatre in Ballyphehane. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/rebelcitydramaclub/1379540?

Mystery, Murder and Messing. It's the perfect combination! Elmarie Mawe sat down with Laura O Callaghan and Laura O Mahony of the Improv team behind the wildly successful Halloween Murder Mystery Improv at the Cork Arts Theatre!

James Nelson of The Celtic Tenors chatted to Elmarie Mawe ahead of their return to Cork Opera House for one night only, before they whisk off to Canada and the States.

Elmarie Mawe sat down with Des Kennedy, the new Artistic Director at The Everyman Theatre in Cork.

Ahead of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival which starts on Thursday 24th, Cork's newest Jazz Guitar Duo, Mulcahy-McGrath came in to studio to play and chat to Elmarie. John McGrath and Tom Mulcahy are just superb and renowned musicians across a wide variety of ensembles, but this is their first time setting out together as a Duo. And we were thrilled to have Paul Dunlea live in studio as well! Not only did one of Cork's most acclaimed international musicians come in to chat, he had some great details on some Green Room shows for the Jazz in Cork Opera House, and he brought his trombone to jam with the lads as well. Sublime.

As part of the arts and creativity programme with The Lantern Project, John Smith, CEO of Nano Nagle Place, explained to Elmarie how people can combine remembering loved ones in November with the work of Nano Nagle Place.

Conor Tallon chatted to John Breen for all the news on some great upcoming events!
