Éigse, Carlow’s premiere annual arts festival, it is coming around soon again. This year is yet another impressive line up, with different traditional art galleries cropping up in unlikely places, interesting music and theatre, and anything else that is going to sample your palette on!
But, I hear you shout, what’s so different this year, well for one this is MonteCarlow’s first year online where we can cover it! That’s what’s so special! The one event definitely I am looking forward to, is “Jerry Fish and Mudbug Club”, a real cool and easy musical group, you can really set your teeth into! Playing in the George Bernard Shaw Theatre, and for only €15 it’s an absolute bargain! He is set to play 17/06/2010@21.30h with local support of another amazing band “sugar factory”!
We also get to get some international stand up comedy, from the great Andrew Maxwell. You may know him from such shows as RTÉ’s “the Panel” or BBC’s “mock the week”, a great night guaranteed! The tower will be putting up with him for this concert, and €18 for a night where you may be taken to hospital for your sides splitting, I think is good! (MonteCarlow does not guarantee hospital admittance nor you laughing, but if you don’t, you’re a dry old sod, lighten up!)
This is only the headlines at the minute as they stand, Éigse starts on June 11th and runs through to the 20th,2010, please visit the Eigse website to see the entire line-up, when their on or find direction to a venue.
), it kicked off in front of the Town Hall, in Hay Market square. Really was a good day, free pizza, some lovely choral and festive singing, and ,most of all, the tree lighting up for Christmas!
