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

SUMMARY:Christmas Jazz at Johnstown Castle
DESCRIPTION:Many Christmas jazz classics were written in America in the 1940s\, a period which also gave birth to the American crooner\, performers who could exude an effortlessly cool swagger. \nVery quickly\, these iconic crooners became renowned for their  Christmas songs and their music of choice to emphasise the yuletide spirit was more often than not\, cool jazz. \nThe type of jazz\, as temperatures drop and days grow short\, in which festive melodies marry perfectly with the instrumentation and style of a tight quartet. None come tighter than this year’s Jazz at Johnstown Christmas act: the Cormac Kenevey Quartet. \nCormac\, who guested last year with the RTE Concert Orchestra at the Christmas Miscellany at the National Concert Hall\, has a winning way with a song which reminds us of the effortless cool of singers like Tony Bennett\, caressing a festive lyric comfortably to make it his own. \nCormac is backed by one of the hottest jazz trios in the business: Johnny Taylor on piano; Conor Murry on drums and Dave Redmond on bass. \nSo\, you better watch out and not miss out\, the lush baritone of Cormac Kenevey is coming to town on Friday\, December 12\, at 8 p.m. \nTickets: €25 for Non Members & €22.50 for IHT MembersVenue: Johnstown Castle\, Visitor Centre \nGet your tickets now and make this Christmas memorable with an evening of classic jazz. \n\n\n***Doors open at 7:30pm***
