Ballymena Arts Festival: Saturday April 20^th 2013

This unique event at the Braid will be a celebration of Ulster’s premier industry from its origins in the late 17^thCentury and highlighting the fact that the production of Irish Linen is alive and well to this very day: a model for regeneration of local sustainable enterprise.

Willie Drennan, who has created  a new stage performance for the evening concert points out that the Mid Antrim area  was one of the prime areas in Ulster for linen production: from the growing of flax to weaving and finishing. The Braidwater Spinning Mill until recent times was the largest of many local factories that employed thousands of local people and Ballymena had the largest Linen Market outside of Belfast.

The Linen Market (admission free) will operate in the Braid from 2 pm to 4.30 pm and the highlights will be the demonstrations – on spinning-wheel, weaving-loom, natural dyeing, embroidery, spade-making and shoe-making – with Rosemary McCartney, Marion Baur, Christine Boyle, Emma Whitehead, Colin Dawson and Robin Stewart. There will be locally produced linen cloth and locally crafted clothing, shoes, jewellery, spades, fifes and art-work – on display and available for purchase.

This will take place in the Braid centre’s suitably futuristic atrium and will be coordinated by Marion and Hermann Baur. This German couple restored and have been operating the Derrylane Flaxmill, in County Londonderry, for the past 21 years. They are inspirational pioneers who have been playing a crucial role in the salvaging, sustaining and transporting of our precious heritage into the future.

As well as the market and demonstrations there will be talks, and short films in the Braid’s Learning Zone. It will indeed be a learning zone as Bruce Clark will provide great insight into the history of Irish Linen, and will explain why it is still a living industry: he will tell you of Sam Anderson of Upperlands: the world’s last commercial beetler?

Bruce will be bringing along a very special guest: from Viginia, USA.  Nancy Sorrells is a historian with a keen interest in the Scotch-Irish and Nancy will explain how Ulster folk played a major role in all aspects of linen production in 18^THand 19^th Century USA.

And that’s not all. While this is all going on there will be a chance to cut loose on the dance floor in the Studio Theatre.  Local man Derek Montgomery will be giving a workshop on Ulster Country Dance. This is the social dancing that was hugely popular in Ulster up until the mid- 20^th Century. The dances included ‘The Lancers’ and ‘Quadrilles’ but Derek will offer a couple of simple local dances that, even you, can learn on the spur of the moment. If not you’ll still be able to stomp your feet to  the fiddle and go “Ye ha!” if you feel like it.

Evening Concert, ‘Braidwater Linen’, and Linen Fashion Show will start at 7 .30 pm: (Tickets £9)

This Stage Performance will feature Willie Drennan with members of his Ulster-Scots Band: on fiddles, accordion, flutes, harp, and loud drums. Performers on stage will include music supremo John Trotter and they will be joined on stage by local harpist Cherith Boyle… and the newly formed for-the-occasion –the four piece ‘Braidwater Lasses’.

With Hermann Baur on stage as narrator, this performance will depict how our local social history has been moulded by Irish Linen.  Stirring music and song will provide emotive insight.   Willie Drennan has created new material for this show but the repertoire will include two pieces from The Bard of Dunclug, David Herbison, and a newly arranged version of the popular local ballad, Bonnie Woodgreen.

There will be a grand finale with Willie’s full band on stage celebrating ‘the taking back to the future’, of our heritage. This will include at least one rendition of fifes and Lambeg , but for once Willie might just be out-staged on the night. The stage will be extended to create a cat-walk for models to show-off the very latest in linen fashion. The star model will be the stunning Orla McNichol,  and rumour hath it that Derek Montgomery will be dazzling the ladies in the audience as he embarks on a new career for himself. A big day and night out in Ballymena – not to be missed.

The whole event will be filmed for a short film to be distributed world-wide.

Café Couture of Mill Street (near Braid Arts Centre) will be providing a special meal-deal and welcoming atmosphere for those attending Braidwater Linen Market and Show. Vouchers available at Braid from 2 pm.

Cosy Cultural Vibe in a Beautiful Seaside Village

This coming bank holiday weekend, 3-6 May, the Antrim Coast village of Cushendun would like to welcome you to its first ever Big Arts Weekend.

The four-day celebration, including a jazz night, choral concert, drama, poetry, exhibitions and hands-on workshops, is being organised by Cushendun Building Preservation Trust to mark a milestone in the Cushendun Old Church project. The programme has something for everyone and many of the events are free.

The Big Arts Weekend will not only celebrate the signing of a lease on the disused Cushendun Old Church but will also give a taste of what may be on offer there when the 170-year-old building is restored as an arts and community space.  The weekend will bring visiting performers and artists to the village and will also showcase local talent.

The Old Church itself will be open and hosting the ‘Swallows Make a Summer’ art installation. Other events are being held in a range of cosy village venues including the local school and pub, as well as the National Trust owned Glenmona House, exceptionally open to the public for an exhibition of paintings. All the performance venues are small, so for the three ticketed events – jazz with the Victoria Geelan Trio, a drama double bill with An Grianán Theatre and Lurig Players, and Voices Chamber Choir – early booking is essential. To see the full Big Arts Weekend programme and to book tickets online, visit www.cushendunbpt.org.

In 2006, thanks to huge support locally and further afield, Cushendun Old Church won the Northern Ireland heat in BBC2’s Restoration Village. Since then, much essential behind-the-scenes work and negotiation has taken place and the lease was finally signed in December 2012. The Big Arts Weekend promises to recapture the enthusiasm for turning the dream into reality.

CBPT Chair Monica Morgan said: ‘We are grateful to the Big Lottery Fund for supporting the Arts Weekend and also to Cushendun and District Development Association and Moyle District Council.’

Full Big Arts Weekend programme follows.

For more information call the Big Arts Weekend team on 07879543090  or e-mail info@cushendunbpt.org.
