Old time American music at the Linenhall

There was disappointment for the Kilkenny senior camogie girls as they were caught by a late Galway flurry in Nowlan Park last Sunday as their league hopes were ended. Kilkenny led by four points at the interval —1-6 to 0-5 and a 45th minute goal from Shelley Farrell followed by a close range free by Aoife Neary restored that four point gap.

Nowlan Park is the setting next Sunday afternoon, when the Irish Daily Star National Camogie league semi-finals take place. Kilkenny are first in the arena at 2pm against Galway, followed at 3.45pm by Tipperary’s clash with defending League/All-Ireland champions Wexford.

After having had a highly successful 2009-2010 run, Mayo Youth Theatre-Ballina returns for an even more exciting and ambitious season. Meeting every Tuesday between 6pm and 8pm, members participate in specially designed drama workshops, specialist technical and performance workshops, and of course trips to the theatre. But most importantly it is a high-energy group and great fun.

Bumpflakes is a major new exhibition by Nuisancebears, aka Sligo-born sculptor Nick Devaney. The work of Nuisancebears occupies a cultural geography inhabited by the likes of Jimmy Durham and Gabriel Orozco, a land where familiar, everyday objects, and cultural references conspire to create glimpses of alternative possibilities that are both engaging and provocative. Concrete kerbing combines with the likes of cocktail umbrellas, cornflakes consort with speed bumps, an ice-fishing hut provides a life-size studio/laboratory for the implied-but-absent ‘scientist/artist’ author of these works. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend, the exhibition runs until July 3.

The Kilkenny camogie girls have produced a habit of creating late drama in recent times and once again they made life difficult for themselves in sweltering sunshine at O’Connor Park, Tullamore, last Saturday afternoon.
