Nollaig na mBan Festival invites you to a fabulous evening of blues music from the Mary Stokes Trio followed by rising star Muireann Bradley. Mary Stokes and her exceptional band have been at the vanguard of Irish Blues music for several decades, with an international reputation as a powerful live act who have performed with greats such as BB King and Bo Diddley. The band's album 'Comin Home' (2021) was voted Independent Blues Album of the Year by the prestigious international Blues and Roots Radio. For Nollaig na mBan, Mary, her partner Brian Palm on harmonica and guitarist Sarah Michelle will perform as an acoustic trio. On her participation, Mary says, “I grew up in Dublin, part of a big family where Christmas was busy and full of excitement. We always marked ‘little Christmas’, Nollaig Na mBan, as an end to the season with a quieter celebration, the last of the ‘pud’ and Christmas cake shared, recognizing that “the Christmas” was over for that year and that the women could relax, have a cuppa and a bit of cake in peace as we awaited the start of Spring. This year, I look forward to celebrating Nollaig na mBan in my community by performing live with some of my band members in St. Columba’s Church, North Strand, Dublin. Country blues prodigy Muireann Bradley from Ballybofey, Co. Donegal will play an exclusive set drawn from her debut album, I Kept These Old Blues. Muireann rose to fame after she appeared on Jools' Annual Hootenanny on 31 December 2023 and recently played a headline gig in iconic Dublin venue, Vicar Street. She will join us for Nollaig na mBan to perform songs originally recorded by the great blues women and men from the 1920s onwards. Of this annual celebration, Muireann says, When I was child we usually went to my grandmother's for Christmas dinner; her house was full and she never sat down. But after Christmas on Nollaig na mBan she would declare it was her day off and she would go out with her sister and the women she grew up with. More often than not one of the group would host a party in their own house and I remember when I was about eight years old, it was my grandmother's turn and my mother brought me to the house. My grandad had wisely taken himself off and the kitchen was full of chattering and laughing women, my own grandmother being one of the loudest! It is a very happy memory for me. Schedule 6:30pm: Doors open 7:00pm: The Mary Stokes Trio 8:00pm: Muireann Bradley 9:00pm: Ends Nollaig na mBan Festival is kindly supported by Dublin City Council and the NEIC, Dublin Port, Inner City Trust and the North Inner City Community Safety Partnership.

This course will focus on improving your tap technique, learning new steps, fun combinations and choreography. Each week builds upon what you learned the week before, giving you time to practice and perfect each new skill! NEW! TAP JAM & PLAY is a new addition to my tap courses: an hour focused on improvisation, musicality, and expressing yourself through rhythm! All levels of tap student are encouraged to take part, as we explore new ways to approach the dance, our connections to the music, and to each other. All activities are grounded in play, curiousity, and community. If you find the idea of improvising or creating tap choreography intimidating, but want to try -- you're in the right place! (Note: this class is intended as an add-on for students enrolled in another tap course.) INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED class is for students who have already taken at least two years tap lessons, or by invitation from the teacher.

As we find ourselves at the beginning of a New Year, how is setting an intention different from setting goals and resolutions? The Sanskrit word ‘Sankalpa’ is where the yogic idea of ‘intention’ is derived, and when broken down is defined by: ‘Kalpa’ which can translate as ‘vow’, and ‘San’ which refers to a connection with our highest truth. The tradition of Yoga teaches that we are already perfectly whole and complete, and that we have everything we will ever need within ourselves, it is a process of Self-realisation. Traditional goal-setting and resolutions usually come from a place of feeling lacking , and then dreaming up how wonderful our lives would be if we just: lost those few extra kilos, got that next pay rise, or found our 'perfect' partner. Yogic intentions, however come from a place of deep listening, realizing our heart's deepest longing rather than focussing on egoic desires, and connecting with our truth, our highest self. This two-hour workshop will focus on releasing what from 2024 no longer serves you and setting intentions for the upcoming year of 2025. This is a personal practice I have done for the last 6 years, I find it really helpful to reflect back on the year, looking at what worked and what didn't, and taking the learnings and moving them forward into the next year. The workshop will also be a time for you to think about the year ahead and to set intentions, inviting what you want to achieve into your world! The practice will be from 12:00 pm-2:00 pm on Sunday, January 12th.This workshop will include guided meditation and breathwork, journaling and a gentle embodied flow to clear out the previous year and release stuck energy. We will end our practice together using Yoga Nidra to set our Sankalpa (our resolve, our hearts longing) and clear our negative Samskaras (our old habits) starting our New Year with focus and positive energy!I will provide tea and homemade treats for after.W hat to bring: Yoga matJournal & penMug for tea* This class is open to all levels of yoga (please inform me in advance if you are pregnant) Information Source: Niamh Pollins | eventbrite

SUNDAY 12TH JANUARY Doors 7:30pm / Show at 8pm Craic Den Comedy Club brings the best Irish and international comedians to the stage every week in Dublin city. As seen on their acclaimed TV show on Virgin Media and millions of views on social media, the Craic Den will deliver laughs all evening long. Glenn Wool Glenn began his comedy career in his hometown of Vancouver in 1995. He moved to London in 1998 and quickly became one of the rising stars of the London and international comedy circuit having performed in Australia, New Zealand, The USA, South Africa, Switzerland, France, Croatia and Arabia. Glenn was nominated for Best International Stand Up at The New Zealand Comedy Awards and twice Best Headliner at the Chortle Awards. “A cleverly subversive comedian, because behind his shaggy hangdog ​looks and his apparently homespun humour lies a sharp intelligence which is slowly and quietly hitting the mark on several of the important issues of the day. Wool tackles a wide range of subjects from religious fundamentalism to current world politics and does it in such a way that you hardly notice that that is what you are listening to. Not hardcore political comedy, but maybe all the more effective for being presented in a language the average layman can understand... Bernard Fletcher A masterpiece of comedy which has the audience helpless with laughter. I genuinely think this is one of the best hours of comedy I have ever seen” ★★★★★ The Scotsman Karl Spain Karl Spain has long been established as one of Ireland’s most popular comedians, from his own tours and touring with others, and has appeared at festivals all over the world. Karl has worked with some of the world’s greatest comedians ( his peers ahem, cough). Karl has spent most of 2022 touring with Kevin Bridges because Kevin finds him very funny – or because Kevin uses Karl to remind him to keep the weight off. Hopefully the former. Karl has written for lots of comedians over the last decade or so, so you have been laughing at his jokes even when you didn’t realise it. But he has kept all the best jokes for himself. “His quick wit will leave you gasping” – Evening Standard “A delight to be in the same room” – Independent “Karl is criminally underrated” – The Irish Times “The audience were in the palm of his hand” – Metro “See him now before he gets too big” – Three Weeks “Achingly funny” – The Sunday Times Fiona Frawley A fast rising talent on the Irish comedy scene, Fiona uses quick wit, dry humour and the appropriate amount of cringe to give the people what they want - jokes that make them feel better about their own awkward existence. Fiona can regularly be found on Ireland's most iconic comedy stages including at Vicar Street where she recently supported Tommy Tiernan, Iain Stirling & Joanne McNally, and Cherry Comedy where she is a resident MC. She has performed at the country’s top festivals including Electric Picnic and the Vodafone Comedy Festival, and also beat the gong at the famous Comedy Store in London.
