Iconic Irish film for St Patrick’s Day with Athlone Film Club
Athlone Film Club is delighted to be taking part in the St Patrick’s Day celebrations by showing the classic Irish film Mise Eire, on Tuesday March 16 at 8pm in the Dean Crowe Theatre.
The film was directed by George Morrison in 1959, and was famously scored by Sean O’Riada and has an iconic status in the history of Irish film. The film was re-mastered and re-released on DVD last year to mark its 50th anniversary.
The High Kings come to town
On Friday March 19 audiences of the Dean Crowe, Athlone will be treated to an evening with Finbarr Clancy, Brian Dunphy, Martin Furey, and Darren Holden with music producer David Downes.
For centuries, Ireland was ruled by High Kings. As their reign came to an end, their deeds and stories merged into the world of legend and myth and the High Kings of Ireland were no more except in story, music and song. Until now.
