Museum Writers Group
Why not rejuvenate your winter Sunday afternoons with some creative writing. Use your experience as the ink of your life, and the artefacts at the Museum and dig up the poet and scribe buried deep within. This group is for learning, listening and growing and maybe in time a little performing. The group will meet again on Sunday, January 8 from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.

Paddy Casey has just announced a show at The Garbo’s venue in Castlebar. Casey who just released his new single titled 'Everything Must Change' from his upcoming new album due to be released in 2017 will be performing at the Castlebar venue on January 14.
Paddy Casey is an Irish singer-songwriter from Dublin. He got his first guitar when he was 12 and left home soon after and began busking and gigging for about 12 years. At about the age of 24 he was approached by Sony A&R scout Hugh Murray at the International Bar in Dublin, while performing at the singer/songwriter night hosted by Dave Murphy. Sony gave Casey some studio time in Sun Studios, Dublin, where he recorded nine tracks in two days. Sony decided it liked the tracks so much that it wanted to release them as they were. It offered Paddy a recording contract. He was signed by Sony, and was eventually taken in by U2’s management company, Principle Management. Casey released his first album Amen (So Be It) in 1999. This album was produced by Pat Donne and was certified triple platinum in Ireland and did fairly well worldwide.

Fri, Dec 09, 2016
Jason Deans’ latest show, Nevertheless, continues at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar. This highly engaging exhibition of large-scale sculptures and drawings juxtaposes modern technology with a surprising use of materials, creating works that captivate and gently provoke.
Jason says of his work, “What I really look for in my work is how the use of raw, natural, materials can resonate, respond, and retort to human interactions on the contemporary world.” He continues: “Nevertheless stands testament to significant social political commentary within the ephemeral constructs created. The use of traditional artistic and raw natural materials is important, as the instability and wonder it creates within the work is key to the viewer’s experience within the space.”
