NORTHERN LIGHTS CONCERT 

Christ Church Cathedral 7.30pm €12.00/€8.00 

Northern Lights is a blending of Norse and Irish: sagas, stories, soundscapes, cultural flavours and perspectives, through a meeting of Celtic and Nordic music and songs. It is a project devised by Lorcán Mac Mathúna (voice, whistle), Raphael De Cock (voice, pipes, siberian harp, shrutti, hardanger fiddle, jews harp), and James Mahon (uillean pipes, whistle flutes). Unusual, haunting and perfect for Waterford's Viking Triangle!

Like their landscapes, the music of Ireland and Scandinavia are spectacular, inspiring, and very different to each other. Northern Lights bring “Songs of the Fjord and Glen” to Christ Church Cathedral in Waterford - an experimental exploration of Irish and Scandinavian traditional songs and dance music that connects a vast musical landscape. This performance evokes everything between the ice of the North sea and the warmth of Irish summer pastures, in search of a deeper understanding of the things that unite us all.

"Northern Lights is a new form of presenting traditional music where Ireland’s music and our oldest singing style, sean nós, is put in contrast to Scandinavian musical traditions and singing styles. The differences and similarities we see are intriguing, exciting, and profoundly beautiful."

Have a look at this clip for a taste of what is to come:

JASON BYRNE

Thursday January 31st 2013 - Theatre Royal Waterford

You have no idea what can be achieved on a live comedy stage until you have seen Jason Byrne spew forth more ideas in a couple of hours than most comics could hope to do in a couple of lifetimes. His brand new live show ‘The People’s Puppeteer’ see’s him attempt to keep control of an audience while losing control of himself. It’s the show the rest of the world is talking about and you don’t want to one of the people to just hear about it you need to one of the people to see it.

Jason is the winner of a Sony Gold Award, you’ve seen him on ‘Live At The Apollo’ (BBC1), ‘Dave’s One Night Stand’ (Dave) and ‘Channel 4’s Comedy Gala’ (Channel 4) now see him live.
