When yousee them on stage in 2013, bar the odd grey hair, not a lot has changed. Liam O’Flynn is the master piper of Ireland; Andy Irvine, astunning instrumentalist, is a socialist folk icon inspired by his hero Woody Guthrie; Paddy Glackin was the original fiddler of theSeachtair/Bothy Band, now teamed up again with his old comrades; and Dónal Lunny has been a crusader and to the forefront ofthe evolution of Irish traditional music since the beginning of time! Ancient tunes, old songs, funny stories, and most importantly,brand new arrangements! Gráinne holland’s début album ‘Teanga na nGael’ received excellent reviews in 2011 and Gráinne andher band have performed at some of Europe’s premier folk festivals and events. Treating us to a collection of traditional Gaelicsongs with fresh contemporary arrangements, Gráinne will be joined by Barry Kerr, Brendan Mulholland, Feilimí O’Connor andRohan Young. Tickets £8.

They sufferedunspeakable acts of brutality, including castration, beatings and severe sexual assaults. When three elderly Kenyans won an historic legalvictory against the UK – the right to sue the British government for the grave abuses they suffered - the British unsuccessfully argued that toomuch time had elapsed for there to be a fair trial. Since the historical judgment the British government has expressed ‘sincere regret’ thatthese abuses had taken place and have agreed to pay nearly £20m in damages to the victims. The veterans’ lawyer, Dan Leader, whorepresents over 5,200 Kenyan victims of colonial torture, outlines the background to the case and says that, “This is a historic judgment whichwill reverberate around the world and will have repercussions for years to come.” Sponsored by Padraig Ó Muirigh Solicitors.Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Sathairn 3 Lúnasa, 1i.n.Aoichainteoir- Dan LeaderCuireadh 70,000 amhrastach Mau Mau ón phobal Kikuyu i gCéinia i bpríosún le linn éirí amach 1952-1960 in éadan riail choilíneach naBreataine.

Withthe outbreak of the Civil War, Mary Lincoln came under fire for herConfederate connections and her spendthrift reputation, enduringrelentless attacks upon her mental stability and patriotic loyalty. Shenever got over the death of her son Willie, and shared her husband’sstress as he carried the fate of the nation on his shoulders. Lincoln’sassassination and Mary’s subsequent grief - which contributed to herinvoluntary incarceration in an asylum - ensured that she would beremembered as the “First Lady of Controversy” up to this day.Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Déardaoin 8 Lúnasa, 2.30i.n.Cainteoir – Catherine Clinton, Ollamh Stair na SA in Ollscoil na Banríona, Béal FeirsteRugadh Mary Todd i dteaghlach uasalaicmeach in Kentucky ach phós sí le dlíodóir bocht ó Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, a bheadh inaUachtarán Lincoln níos moille.

83Cork-BelfastPartnership ThrivesCork Lifelong Learning Festival (CLLF) celebrated its tenth anniversary this March with a packed programme of - once-again –free events. For several years now Féile and the CLLF have been in a partnership, helping each other out with ideas and withexchange programmes that have involved bringing people, including young people, and community groups, to both cities.Two years ago young people from Lisburn and the Colin area travelled to Cork’s Meitheal Mara workshop and took part in a boatbuildingprogramme, producing two currachs which they launched in the River Lagan. In 2012 staff and volunteers from Féile’syouth arts team participated in the Cork Marathon, whilst other young people from the Colin and Hillhall areas took part in, andwon, their race category of the Ocean to City Race.The two festivals also sponsored Belfast muralists to work with unemployed people from Cork’s Mahon CommunityDevelopment Project, who visited Belfast during the 2011 August Féile, and have continued to work together, creating murals.In March, Danny Morrison spoke at the CLLF’s second ‘Scribes’ (loosely based on Féile’s Scribes at the Rock) with Tony Macaulay(originally from the Shankill area) reading from his new novel ‘Bread Boy’. The other writers, at the event in Spailpín Fánach onSouth Main Street, were Cónal Creedon and Jamie O’Connell (both Cork-born). CLLF organiser Tina Neylon said that theresponse to Scribes was enthusiastic and that they intend to feature it now as part of their annual programme.This year over 20 runners from both festival organisations took part in both the Belfast and Cork marathons. Young people alsoonce again played centre stage in the Maritime Festival with 14 people from the Lisburn PSP and the Cherry and AspenResidents Association taking part in the boat race, and being awarded the “Best Mixed Group Award” for their endeavours.Féile and the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival are also exploring new projects that will involve work throughout both of ourrespective communities including social economy ventures, boxing exchanges, and drumming workshops.Belfast Marathon Relay Team May 2013 Féile's Fartlekers - Relay Marathon Team in Cork, June 2013 with Emer Morrison, Gillian Meehan,Gerry Meehan, Michael Robinson and Kevin Morrison
