Two renowned duos. Two gifted sisters. Two extraordinary guitarists. One multi-faceted, unique quartet, for two very special concerts on the Artsreach circuit!
Some of the most important names in Irish music – legendary guitarist Arty McGlynn, virtuoso fiddler Nollaig Casey and brilliant harper Máire Ní Chathasaigh – came together in 2009 to record with Britain's finest flat-picking guitarist Chris Newman. This resulted in The Heartstring Sessions, an inspired CD from this Irish supergroup with soul, which crosses boundaries of world-class guitar-playing, sensuous singing, fiddle-playing of heart-melting lyricism and harping of power and passion.

They now make a long-awaited return to the Artsreach circuit in January and March, performing at five rural venues.

Police today were bewildered and confused at the desecration of one of Britains most loved and admired monuments, in a random act of mutilation the Cerne Abbas Giant’s penis was stolen (that’s easy for you to say) it was later recovered by mounted police from the rooftop of a Berkshire mansion in one of the hardest operations they have handled to date.

With the coffee wars heating up in Bridders you won't be able to turn round without getting foam from a skinnylartymockachino on your elbow or suffering a nasty graze from those biscotti (Italian for biscuit (which is French for dried cake)). Costa coffee have now joined the fray while Starbucks have had a setback to their bid to take over a nice family run concern in Bucky Doo Square after planners decided that it was more a trianglyoblong and would therefore have to re-zone it as set aside arable land.
