TURF by rowan tolley company

TURF invites the audience on an investigative journey, punctuated with provocative, fiercely athletic and beautifully detailed movement.

The Lost Brothers and Art Exhibition entitled '93 Years of Inspiration'

The Ramor Theatre present

 

93 Years of Inspiration – An exhibition by Elizabeth McKenna

Now 93 years young, Elizabeth McKenna has been painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. From her days at school sketching the celebrity actress of the day, Shirley Temple, for her school mates, to her time in the College of Art under the guidance of Sean Keating through to her work as a fashion artist for McBirney’s, art has been a major part of her life. Nowadays, Elizabeth paints almost every afternoon, when the light is best. She works in oils, acrylics and watercolour with subjects ranging from seascapes and landscapes to flowers and birds.

 

The Lost Brothers are an Irish musical duo consisting of Mark McCausland and Oisin Leech, formerly of  The 747s. Their first album Trails of the Lonely was released in 2008.

Leech appears on Arctic Monkeys' cover of Baby I’m Yours lead vocals with Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner..

The band appeared at the BBC Electric proms in 2008 and played a string of festivals since then including Glastonbury Festival, The Electric Picnic and SXSW

In 2010 The Lost Brothers recorded their second album, So Long John Fante, The album received positive reviews in The Irish Times, Hot Press,  and the Irish Examiner and saw the band perform live on The Late Late Show and on BBC’s The Culture Show. 

In 2011, the band travelled toNashville  where they recorded new material which became their third album, The Passing of the Night.

Later that year the band were invited by Barbara Orbison, to record a song for the 75th Roy Orbison anniversary album.

In 2014, The Lost Brothers recorded their fourth studio album, New Songs of Dawn and Dust,  in Liverpool  with producer Bill Ryder Jones. 

When all the dust settles, The Lost Brothers will remain.

Forging ahead.

On the path.

 Determined to get there.

 Wherever "there" is.
