Beyond the Bodhrán with Nialler9: Ships
25.07.2014
It’s easy to be reductive about Irish music. If you’re not Irish, U2, Sinead O’Connor and tin whistles are perhaps the first things that come to mind, and maybe the Cranberries, or the Pogues. But the contemporary music scene in Ireland is very much alive and kicking, with great bands big and small, and a […]

HOME
9.11.2011
There’s something about Kim’s photos that always puts a smile on our faces. Perhaps it’s the honesty of how she portrays her subjects. Perhaps it’s the warm nostalgia that runs through the stories that she’s trying to tell. Either way, they evoke a comfortable feeling that reminds us of home. Stighlorgan’s first season, Autumn Eleven, […]

Ghostwater
14.10.2011
Ghostwater (Lost rivers of London) It came from the West, slow bubbling, carving runnels in ancient clay Fleet runs the river, swift to downfall, flowing to dismay The oldbourne, holding a memory of peat; a concrete song in fate Beneath immortal banks the silver shiver of trout Where the water tumbles, like a trace of […]

Still Machines
7.10.2011
On Tuesday Street in the scarlet room A rattle and clap Come Snapping from the gloom The springing of a trap It’s our doom, you know, to bring the beast To pluck and harry our prey From four posts we feast upon The old grey dust Singing carpet burn of this bearskin rug Whose mouth […]

Killala Dreaming
8.08.2011
‘It’s dour out there,’ Killian said, As the weave and weft of another set Strikes the ledge, and unwinds The left Out past Ballina Where light moves quick Across the thick, windtorn peaks It’s a safe bet, This flat tongue of rock Where west wind seeks But gets swallowed By armada-wrecking heights The swell fights […]

The idea was to bring a telescope aboard the plane. Once they were high enough up they would look through the window with the telescope. If it gave them the sensation of travelling close to the ground at very high speed they would be pleased. If not they would simply try to enjoy the rest […]
