BEALTAINE FESTIVAL CERAMIC LANDSCAPE WORKSHOP
Thurs 17th
Adapted from William Trevor's novella of the same name, My House in Umbria stars Dame
Maggie Smith in an Emmy-winning role as Mrs. Emily Delahunty, a British romance novelist
living in Italy. While on a shopping excursion to Milan, Emily barely survives a terrorist train
bombing. Though she recovers fairly rapidly, three others - a German journalist, a British
general and a traumatised orphan girl - still bear profound physical and emotional wounds.
In the spirit of democracy and compassion, Mrs. Delahunty invites her fellow survivors to
recuperate at her lavish Italian estate. This ersatz family gets along famously - at least until
the arrival of the orphan's priggish uncle, American entomologist Tom Riversmith (Chris
Cooper) who strongly disapproves of Mrs. Delahunty's carefree lifestyle. Director: Richard
Loncraine, Duration: 103 minutes. Language: English. Cert: 12A

MY HOUSE IN UMBRIA Category: Film
Thurs 31st
An American In Paris is a grand show - a brilliant combination of Hollywood's opulence and technical wizardry with the kind of taste and creativeness that
most high-budgeted musicals notoriously lack. The Technicolorful result is smart, dazzling, genuinely romantic, and as hard to resist as its George Gershwin
score. The movie's boy-meets-girl story is simple, lighthearted and peopled with thoroughly likable characters. An ex-G.I. painter (Gene Kelly), happily roughing
it on the Left Bank, picks up a charming shopgirl (Leslie Caron). They fall in love.... - Time Magazine, 1951
"Reputed to be Gene Kelly's personal favourite of his own films, Vincente Minnelli's Best Picture winner is the archetypal MGM musical". - Empire Magazine. Director: Vincente Minnelli. Duration: 113 minutes. Language: English. Cert: General

Sat 2nd
David Kitt will be performing his debut album Small Moments in its entirety, for the first time since its release in 2000, in select venues this summer.
In 1999 with several record companies looking to sign him and mould him into a more commercial prospect, Kitt insisted that this intimate collection of home recordings would be his first release. The first person to welcome this idea was legendary Rough Trade boss Geoff Travis who signed The Smiths, Arthur Russell, The Strokes, Pulp and Warpaint amongst many others. Kitt handed a CD-R of these recordings to Travis at the SXSW music conference in Austin, Texas and the next morning Kitt received a call to say that he shouldn't change a note, the first release was done and dusted.
Once released, the album received rave reviews throughout the British, Irish and European music press and won a legion of admirers including David Bowie, Graham Linehan, Arab Strap, tindersticks, The Magic Numbers and the great Bob Harris of 'old Grey Whistle Test' fame. While Kitt's sophomore follow-up The Big Romance was his biggest-selling record, for many this debut has a rare intimacy combined with a bold sense of experimentation which marks it out as their clear favourite. please book early to avoid disappointment.

DAVID KITT - SMALL MOMENTS Category: Music
Sun 27th
Joining our Donegal fiddler host, Tara Connaghan, is Donall Donnelly (fiddle), Donncha Moynihan (guitar) and Karl Nesbitt (flute).
Donall Donnelly is a talismanic fiddle-player who plays with dynamism and drive. Growing up in the rich fiddle tradition of Co. Tyrone, Donall has developed a reputation for his technical virtuosity and style and has toured worldwide playing festivals ranging from Womad to Celtic Connections in Glasgow. His new solo album-Tremolo-was the genesis of the band Tremolo and is now available for purchase.
"Donall has delighted and entertained audiences all over the UK, Ireland and France with his finesse and originality." - BBC Radio London
Donncha Moynihan is a guitarist of immense ability and taste who infuses subtlety and warmth into everything he plays. Donncha is Cork-based and was a founding member of the much lauded traditional group Calico who went on to release two award-winning albums- 'Celanova Square' and 'Songdogs.'
Karl Nesbitt is a musician who plays with precision, verve and versatility. As a multi-instrumentalist, Karl is as skilled a soloist as he is an accompanist and his ability to look at the music from both perspectives is truly unique. Karl's debut album-"Vista Point" set a new bench-mark in the traditional irish music scene, causing the Irish Examiner to hail him as "master of the flute, bodhran and bouzouki".
Tara Connaghan is a fiddle player from Glenties, Co. Donegal. She spent 10 years living and playing in Ennis, Co. Clare where she worked as the Traditional Arts Specialist in Clare Co. Co. before moving to Carlow town in 2009 having taken up the position of Festival Director at Éigse Carlow Arts Festival. Last year she presented and performed on TG4's Geantraí which was filmed in Carlow and featured a wealth of the south east?s best musicians. Most recently, Tara, along with fellow Donegal fiddler, Derek McGinley, released their 'Far Side Of The Glen' recordings to huge critical acclaim.
