SUMMARY:(SOLD OUT) Valentines Jazz at Johnstown Castle
DESCRIPTION:Tall and tan and young and lovely\nThe girl from Ipanema goes walking and\nWhen she passes\, I smile but she doesn’t see.’ \nYear after year\, the Jazz at Johnstown Valentine’s concert sells out\, and there is one reason why: love is in the air. \nCelebrating Valentine’s Day which falls on Friday\, February 14\, Jazz at Johnstown has secured the voice of one of the best jazz singers in Ireland\, Luisa Annibali. \nBossa Nova\, which was made famous by The Girl from Ipanema\, is considered the irresistible lovechild of jazz and samba. \nThe first thing you will notice about boss nova is its calm\, syncopated rhythm\, marrying the coolness of American jazz with the rhythmic quirks of samba. \nFew singers on the Irish jazz scene can bring together such coolness and rhythmic quirks as Luisa whose distinctive and breathy vocals give her singing a languid intimacy\, ideal for a Valentine’s Day concert. \nJoin Luisa and her exceptional quartet of musicians\, blending music from her native Italy with Brazilian influences\, for a night of romance\, bossa nova style – with George Gershwin classics added to the mix – on Friday\, February 14th at 8 p.m. (Doors at 7:30pm)

SUMMARY:From the Seashore and Other Stories
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of watercolours – By Maria Murphy \nA collection of watercolours inspired by the flotsam and jetsam found on the foreshore\, exploring how discarded manmade objects become part of the natural landscape. As well as a selection of more traditional landscapes \nFriday 18th April to Friday 25th April in the Visitor Centre\, Johnstown Castle Estate. \nAbout the artist \n“My name is Maria Murphy\, I’m a watercolour landscape artist from the model county of Wexford. I grew up in the countryside of Wexford and spent my time exploring the nooks and crannies of the wild scenes that were on my doorstep. As I’ve grown older\, I have continued these adventures as an artist and am rarely without my camera and sketchbook to capture the beauty around me. \nFrom childhood I’ve had a keen interest in painting and drawing. I’ve explored many mediums\, but watercolour is the one that caught and held my interest and captured my heart. I’m self-taught as an artist and have been using watercolours for over twenty years. I feel that watercolour allows me to accurately capture the subjects that most interest me like old\, dilapidated buildings and the intricacies of the rocky seashore. \nThe seashore in particular is the subject on which many of my paintings are based exploring the tiny hidden world between the rocks. Plus the relationship between the discarded manmade items and the natural pebbles\, driftwood and shells. I am fascinated by the impact that we as humans impact on the landscape that surrounds us.”

SUMMARY:Sharing Lands
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a moving and unifying experience with Padraig Kirwan\, LeAnne Howe (enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation)\, and Gillian O’Brien\, as they discuss their project\, Sharing Lands. Let’s come together to celebrate shared humanity through the power of storytelling! \n  \n\n\nOur Sharing Lands project is inspired by the remarkable story of the $172 sent by members of the Choctaw tribe to the starving in Ireland during the Great Famine in 1847. The donation came soon after the Choctaw’s forced relocation in the 1830s\, which caused immense suffering. At the same time\, Ireland faced its own hardships from colonial expansion. Ironically\, some Irish migrants and Irish American settlers\, including President Andrew Jackson\, later contributed to expansionist U.S. policies that had a terrible impact on American Indians. \n  \n\n\nThe Sharing Lands project is deeply rooted in the Choctaw concept of ima – the powerful tradition of giving. The project raises important questions about immigration\, belonging and generosity in times of crisis. \n\n  \nFree for IHT Members and included in general admission for day visitors. Limited tickets available.

SUMMARY:Iron Men\, Wexford's Lockout 1911 - 1912
DESCRIPTION:A talk will be given at Johnstown Castle by Mylo Miller Titled: Iron Men\, Wexford’s lockout 1911 – 1912. Mylo works for the Irish Heritage Trust at Johnstown Castle Estate\, Irish Agricultural Museum and Gardens. Mylo was the curator on an exhibition for the museum which tells the story of Wexford’s Lockout. The research for the project evolved into this stirring new talk about Wexford’s 1911 Lockout. \nThe 1911 lockout with its Police violence\, imported blacklegs\, clerical condemnation and heroic working-class resistance would prove to be a forerunner to Dublin’s more famous 1913 lockout. The talk gives an insight into the foundry workers’ right to join a union. \nTheir struggle was not over wages or conditions; rather it was over their right to combine under the banner of the Larkinite vehicle the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union (ITGWU). It examines the background\, events and aftermath of a conflict that would help prepare both James Larkin and James Connolly for the events that were to occur during Dublin’s 1913 Lockout.

SUMMARY:Ivan's Travels Through Dog Friendly Ireland - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate with us on Thursday 26th June at 4pm for the launch of this amazing new book. \nIvan’s Travels is a heartwarming journey through all 32 counties of Ireland\, seen through the eyes (and paws!) of Ivan\, a fun loving Border Collie rescued from the streets of Waterford. After finding their beloved companion through HART in Cork\, Ivan’s humans set out to explore Ireland’s growing network of dog friendly places from cafes and pubs to beaches\, trails\, and historic attractions. \nPrompted by a 2017 FSAI regulation change that welcomed dogs into food premises (with some restrictions)\, they spent three years documenting pet friendly experiences across the country. The result is a rich\, practical guide for dog lovers planning day trips and holidays\, filled with essential tips for travelling with well behaved dogs and thoughtful suggestions for businesses looking to improve their dog friendly offerings. \nAt the heart of the book is a celebration of the deep connection between people and their dogs in Ireland a bond that goes far beyond companionship. \nBest of all\, 40% of royalties from Ivan’s Travels will support four incredible charities: HART Cork\, Irish Therapy Dogs\, The Dublin Dog Hub\, and the Wexford SPCA.\nYou can catch Ivan on Nationwide on Wednesday 25th June at 7pm and on South East Radio on Thursday morning 26th June. \nThis book was lovingly written by By Lucy Costigan and Anthony E.
