Event- Lioness – The Amy Winehouse Experience
Location- The Civic Theatre, Town Centre, Tallaght
Description- In her short career the talent of Amy Winehouse created a lasting impression on the music world of the 21 st century. Recording three critically acclaimed albums from her debut ‘Frank’ in 2003, the Grammy Award winning ‘Back to Black’ in 2007 and the posthumous ‘Lioness’ in 2011 along with the covers of ‘Cupid’ and ‘Valerie’ with Producer Mark Ronson no one can deny the talent and impact of this often misunderstood star.
Lioness provide an authentic tribute to the precocious talent featuring TV’s ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ finalist Emma Wright as Amy Winehouse plus a full seven piece backing band to recreate the authentic sound of this heady mix of jazz, soul and pop. With a full stage show showcasing the talent of this songstress will take you on a journey through the emotional roller coaster of her song writing, guaranteed to have you singing and dancing along throughout the performance.
The band are made up of hand-picked experienced musicians, carefully selected to maintain the accuracy to the original performances of the UK’s brightest star that so tragically burned out in 2011. The crafted show focuses on the vocal talent and soul of Amy, unhindered by the dark side to her addictions to alcohol and substances. Lioness provide, without doubt, the most authentic recreation of Amy Winehouse, designed to entertain and deliver the experience of Amy at her very best.
Having recently completed their a second tour of the UK and Ireland the response from venues, promoters and audience alike has exceeded all expectations. Selling out numerous venues on both tours covering over 5,000 miles and selling in excess of 10,000 tickets .

Event- My Son My Son (more dates)
Location- Project Arts Centre, 39 East Essex Street, Temple Bar
Description- My Son My Son is the story of The Mother. She has one son, hence the title. This play won’t pass the Bechdel Test. That’s deliberate. All characters are female. Men only exist off stage, somewhere else, doing other things.
Her best friend is Mary, they’ve been friends since they were 7. Mary is childless, but married. The Mother’s never been married. She’s against it really. They’re strong liberal women from The Liberties in Dublin’s South Inner City, a bit bet down by the life when we meet them.
There’s a lot going on, we’ve a lot of drama in our lives. That’s not what’s really important, but we’ll use that to try to get to what is. We need to stop pretending that class isn’t a real thing. It is. Still.
Anyway. We want to connect. We need to. There’s a lot to do.
My Son My Son is a new play from Veronica Dyas inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s learning play, ‘The Mother’
Cost- €12-14

Event- Tim’s Vermeer
Location- Irish Film Institute, 6 Eustace St, Temple Bar
Description- 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer created astonishingly beautiful paintings that foreground the minutia of everyday lives, capturing the play of light with a degree of photorealism that has led art historians to speculate that Vermeer sought the assistance of a camera obscura – an optical device that projects a reflected image onto a wall – in the creation of his scenes.
Entrepreneur and inventor Tim Jenison puts his insatiable curiosity and considerable financial largesse to the task of physically recreating the conditions under which Vermeer worked to create an exact replica of the artist’s painting ‘The Music Lesson’. The film will be introduced by Kate Drinane, Tours Administrator at the National Gallery of Ireland.
