Looking forward to Culture Night 18 September

Ballymore Eustace Concert Band in pre-Covid mode.

Looking towards Culture Night 2020 in County Kildare, many events and presentations this year are online, writes Brian Byrne.

But among the live events on Friday 18 September worth heading for is an Open Air Concert by the Ballymore Eustace Concert Band, which will take place from 7.30pm-8.30pm.

The performance will be in The Square, allowing musicians and audience to safely enjoy a live performance. There will be jazz, classical and pop in the hour, and attendance is free.

For those interested in old photographs of a village area, the Tanyard in Ballitore is hosting an exhibition of such. They will be shown as a slide show in the old building, and cafe facilities will be available. The organisers also plan to present the show on its Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/thetanyardballitore

In Newbridge, the Kildare Youth Theatre is putting on a series ‘ Bench Plays in the Liffey Linear Park. The short performances, beginning at 7pm, will showcase the work produced by the group during a five-week programme.

An unusual evening is promised in Monasterevin in a Community Painting Project with artist Paul Woods. Individuals or families can book a 15-minute slot from 4pm with the artist to help produce a community painting. The piece will be produced by the different visitors adding to the process, and a slideshow of the event will be broadcast at the end of the evening. 045 529857 or visit www.paulwoodsart to book a slot.

There’s lots more going on, and we’ll update these on the Diary as we move closer to the evening.
