Music Lovers
If you are a music-lover there will be plenty of concerts to choose from: an organ recital at Maynooth College’s Chapel, Lunchtime Jazz at Urban Kitchen in Naas, Route 66 Big Band at Castletown and the Millicent singers in Westgrove Hotel, just to mention some. Moreover the 1st German Electrophonic Orchestra will perform ‘Girls & Stations’ in Kildare and Newbridge stations: meet this group of German and Irish musicians called Clara in their journey to Clara.
Variety of Events
The variety of events continues with storytelling, poetry, film, dance, talks and exhibitions. Discover the stories written by school children from the local area in the 1930’s at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre or be part of the Troubadour Poet Experience in Naas. You can visit Master Craftsman Garvan de Bruir’s Open Workshop or give it a try and make your own artwork at Crookstown Craft Village and Croi Anu Creative Centre in Moone.
A special Alfred Hitchcock night will attend you at Athy College and the county libraries have planned a great selection of events, workshops and other activities. Not to be missed is one of the ‘Kildare Notebook Project’ workshops; taking place in Athy, Sallins and Celbridge, they will give you the opportunity to create your own master piece and will be led by visual artists Vera Mc Evoy, Sharon Fidgeon or writer John Mac Kenna.
