SPRING 2020 INTRODUCTION Spring drifts in so slowly and sometimes it feels as if the winter is reluctant to release its grip on us. That being said, we are well past solstice day and things should be getting brighter and warmer, day by day. Here on the second floor at The Source, we’ve been busily crafting our programme for the period. We’ve got lots of good music with Sharon Shannon, Kieran Goss/Annie Kinsella (we love their ‘Oh The Starlings’ album) and we welcome up and comers Mill Road for their first headline gig at the venue. We are screening what we think are two important documentaries. ‘Land Without God’ is Mannix Flynn’s documentary about his and his siblings experience in the industrial school system across Ireland in the 60’s and ‘70’s. Additionally ‘For Sama’ is one mother’s film about the siege of Aleppo in Syria and how she documented it for her daughter. In a happier vein we also screen ‘Marianne and Leonard – about Leonard Cohen’s lifelong relationship with Marianne Ihlen, whom he later immortalized in his song ‘So Long Marianne.’ In theatre we have Jon Kenny in the play ‘Crowman’ and local actors new work - Roseanna Purcell in the hilarious ‘A Holy Show’ and Aine Ryan’s new play ‘Paddy Goes to Petra’. Thurles Drama Group have an intriguing play called ‘Gut’ set for their spring production, too. In comedy, the lovely David O’Doherty will be back to us, keyboard in tow; Alison Spittle’s new show is ‘Mother of God’ and we expect that response from audiences, in a good way. We also have YouTube stars Farmer Michael and Kathleen with their manic take on just about everything. As usual, if you have any interesting ideas in relation to shows or projects that you are doing and we should be presenting we are happy to hear about them.
