Reviews


TV Review

The X-Factor returned for a 7th series and the talking point was not the crazy eliminations and auditions but the accusation that the programme makers used auto-tuning to improve or enhance contestants that the judges favour to make them sound better.

Review: Emanate

At Garter Lane, I enjoyed a short programme of dance – Emanate – featuring Brian Sweeney with Bubble Chamber.

Review: Graffiti

In Wyse Park there was Urban Dance, the launch of a Graffiti Wall with some fine and impressive colourful and exciting designs.

Review: The Wilder Wisdom of Auld Ones

Richard Ryan in association with Two Chairs Company brought an excellent evening of folklore, music and storytelling to the Jerome Hynes Theatre at Wexford Opera House.

Review: Clare Scott

Clare Scott’s new exhibition – Down by the Sea at T-Bay Surf Centre on the beach in Tramore is a must see in this exquisite architectural location where the sting of the light and the tang of the sea are like companions to wonderful images.

Review: FAME – The Musical

FAME – The Musical, at the Grand Canal Theatre is a powerful, mostly all dancing show with several UK performers who steal the show from the Irish duo of Ben Morris and Jessica Cervi.

From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor

With the amazing success of the TV series, Mad Men about the crazy days of Madison Avenue, there has been a return to full figures in fashion and not just women’s couture.
