The powerful voice behind Rudimentals brilliant track We The Generation. Signed to Asylum Records (Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and Charli XCX) and aged only 17. Already turning heads this year, not least by her star appearance at Other Voices reminiscent of the star quality of young Amy Winehouse. An incredible musician in her own right, she's been hosting her own "Mahalia Presents .." nights in Leicester over the past few years. This year sees her take centre stage with her own EP and is currently working on her debut album with producers 1985 (Drake, Nicki Minaj), Supa Dups (Bruno Mars, Mary J Blige) and Steve Fitzmaurice (Sam Smith, Aloe Blacc) amongst others.

As Leicester do Mahalia atá ar dhuine de na hamhránaithe is úire atá tágtha chun cinn i saol an cheoil le déanaí agus glór láidir álainn aici. Tá Mahalia tiomanta le dul chun cinn a dhéanamh ina seánra féin; lena guth binn órga agus cur chuige nuálach, tugann sí beocht úr dá cuid amhrán. Tagann Mahalia go dtí an Daingean chun a 18ú breithlá a cheiliuradh.

Based in Dublin Le Galaxie have spent the past five years claiming their title as one of Ireland’s best live bands. Festival and dancefloor favourites, the four-piece electronic group have an exponentially growing fanbase behind them and their songwriting and performance chops promising an even better future in front of them. Le Galaxie finished 2015 with a sold out Irish tour, a packed crowd at the debut Metropolis festival, and a sell out performance on Stephen’s Green for New Year’s Eve. Their most recent release, Le Club (Universal Music Ireland), which boasts hits such as “Love System” and “Put The Chain On”, earned them a well-deserved 2016 Choice Music Prize nomination for Album of the Year. Le Galaxie have spent the early half of 2016 working on new music before bringing their dancefloor anthems and infectiously fun atmosphere around European festivals this summer.

Tháinig Saint Sister le chéile i mí na Samhna annuraidh agus tá siad ag meascadh traidisiún na gclairseach le seánra an folk agus seánra pop leictronach lena chéile ó shin ina slí speisialta féin, ní bhféadfaí aon rud eile a thabhairt air ach “atmosfolk”

Saint Sister, formed in November 2014, is the new project from Morgan MacIntyre and Gemma Doherty. Their music draws from early Celtic harp traditions, '60s folk and electronic pop to create ‘atmosfolk'—a mix of soulful vocal harmonies, dreamy synth and electro-acoustic harp. Following their debut performance on Irish television, they opened for Arcade Fire’s Will Butler in Whelan’s. April saw them support San Fermin, and tour Ireland with Dublin band Spies. In August, the band entered the studio for the first time to record their debut EP with Alex Ryan (bassist with Hozier), which was released on November 13th on Trout Records.

Lisa has a remarkable voice; a Cavan twang, a growl, a song-call. She needed to make an album about that voice. Potholes in the Sky is a recording of “the voice”. The Voice is everything for the folk singer – a conduit for the words, the emotion, the thought process. And if you ever felt a record needed to be made of an artist’s voice, about her voice, so beautifully focused on, centred on, honed-in, on and in love with the voice, then this, is the record. Tá Lisa O’Neill ag filleadh ar a dúchas spioradálta i Sáipéal Naomh

Shéamais. Tá albam nua glan curtha amach aici, “Potholes in the Sky”, agus tabharfaidh sí scéalta tochtmhara ón mbóthar lei, amhráin a déarfaidh sí le harmóiní álainne a leaghfadh an croí cloiche.

Brendan Begley and Mike Hanrahan have created a show, which tells a story of Ireland’s 1916 rising through songs, music, poetry and stories of the era spanning 1890 to 1916.

Ní stairithe, éinne againe ach beirt ceoltoirí, amhránaithe agus scribhnóirí a chuir suim sa tréimhse seo dá’r stair agus go bhfuil leabharlann bheag léighte againn i dtaobh na bhfearaibh is na mná fé leith seo, alán acu scríbhnóirí, ceoltóirí, amhránaithe, rínceóirí, ealaiontóirí, filí, agus go háirithe dream go raibh fís acu. We find songs so familiar to generations of Irish people and shine an extra light on their significance. Songs such as Oro se de Bheatha abhaile, The Tri coloured Ribbon, A Nation once again, James Connolly and A Soldiers Song which would eventually be translated to Irish and become our National Anthem. Bhí Éirinn ag an am, ina tír go raibh suim as an nua á chur sa Ghaeilge, sa cheol, amhránaiocht, ealaion, stair agus béaloideas aici ,agus ímpireacht na Breatainne brúite anuas go daingean uirti agus ina coinne. I gCáisc na blaina 1916, bhí Baile Átha Cliath trí thine, tine fonn na saoirse, scrios, mallaitheacht, gumh, pian agus mortas cine.

Maureen Freely On Being Orhan's DoubleDingle Courthouse Luan/Monday 2pm €5The Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk has written beautifully about the perils of imagining oneself into someone else's mind. But as his translator, it was Maureen Freely's job to do just that. This difficult business was further complicated when Orhan Pamuk was prosecuted for insulting Turkishness, and his translator took it upon herself to campaign on his behalf in the western

media. What effect did all this have on their relationship, and their writing? Maureen Freely is an author, a journalist, a translator, and the Head of the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Warwick. She is perhaps best known as the translator of five books the Turkish Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk.

Seó Aonair dhátheangach le Diarmuid de Faoite. Stiúrtha ag Paul Brennan.Buaiteoir Gradam Stewart Parker / BBC NI

Don chéad uair le trí bhliana déag anuas, filleann Diarmuid de Faoite ar ‘Phádraic Ó Conaire’ mar chuid dá chomóradh pearsanta ar 1916. Nochtann sé údar ‘Seacht mBua an Éirí Amach’ dúinn, a shaol agus a shaothar … an greann, an grá, an brón agus an briseadh, bainfidh ‘Pádraic Ó Conaire’ deora gháirí agus ghoil asat.

Diarmuid de Faoite brings his multiaward winning, epic panorama on the life and times of writer Pádraic Ó Conaire to the stage. Described by the Irish Times as a “mesmerising one man show,” ‘Pádraic Ó Conaire’ is peopled with over thirty characters, including theatrical genius Mícheál mac Liammóir, poet Austin Clarke, short story writer Liam Ó Flaherty and revolutionaries Michael Collins and Éamonn de Valera, all of whom offer hilarious and sometimes tragic accounts of their escapades with Ó Conaire through the rebellion, the troubled birth of the Irish Free State and beyond. This bilingual biography of the father of the modern Irish short story is accessible to both English and Irish speakers alike. An English synopsis of passages in Irish will be available to all, so no excuses!

Beowulf:The BlockbusterWith more 5 star reviews than you could wish for, sold-out shows, and an ‘ Acting Excellence’ award, Beowulf: The Blockbuster emerged as the number one show to see at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’ s largest arts festival.

A father’s final chance to connect with his son, this is a remarkable and unforgettable experience filled with heartbreaking emotional depth. You’ ll be talking about this long after you leave the theatre - book now before it sells out.

Come see it now at Ireland’s westernmost arts festival. Gripping, witty, poignant and vastly entertaining, this triumph of a play reminds us that life is not about how we die, but about how we live.

After Sarah Miles An Díseart (Fresco Room) Aoine/Friday 7pm €10 After a lifetime of wrestling with the tides, fisherman Bobeen finds it hard to face the sea again. But the discovery he made in the mouth of the harbour almost thirty years ago keeps calling him back. This time it will connect him to what he thought was lost and gone forever. After Sarah Miles follows Bobeen’s journey from 1969 to the present day; from the moment he has his first drink as a fourteen year old boy on the set of Ryan’s Daughter, to a blossoming crush which takes his life in an entirely new direction. Mick Mulcahy gives a towering performance in this acclaimed play, transporting the audience into a world that is at the same time ordinary and epic.

"Fruit and vegetables everywhere. This is a typical day for Laur. But she wants more, not more fruit and veg now, mind you. She's got a dream. And she's got a philosophy too – Life; Full of questions. They’re not always easy to answer. So while you’re pondering the tough ones, accompany them with laughter!"

Trí shúile sheisear filí Éireannacha, féachann an scannán ar na coincheapa: dúthaigh, pearsantacht agus inspioráid. An dáimh le dúthaigh a mhúnlaigh an tsamhlaíocht liteartha Ghaelach agus an féinaitheantas Éireannach ón gcianaimsir anuas. Tá saibhreas de shaghas eile seachas maoin saolta cruthaithe ag an tsamhlaíocht seo. Manglam de chroí agus cloigeann atá i bhFís na Fuiseoige, scrúdaítear an ceangal idir an Duine agus an Dúthaigh, mar a léirítear i bhfilíocht agus seanchas áitiúil na Gaeilge ó ré na bpágánach i leith. Siad na filí finnéithe na staire, traidisiún liteartha gan bhriseadh, an traidisiún is ársa ar oileán na hÉireann.

Sense of place has shaped the Irish literary imagination from earliest times, the film exhibits some of the cultural riches rather than the wealth which has been created by this imagination through six Irish poets. Fís na Fuiseoige, directed by Dingle’s own Aodh Ó Coileáin, is a heady blend of heart and head, celebration of place in poetry is traced from pagan Ireland through to modern times. Filmed in a year’s turning, much of the landscape is seen from the air: West Kerry, the Iveragh Peninsula, Killarney, Wicklow, Cork, Belfast, Connemara, the Donegal Gaeltacht. One hundred years after the Easter Rising, Fís na Fuiseoige affirms the Irish connection to the land and how this has informed our sensibility, sense of self and imagination.
