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***

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: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:(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)
