Life After Art promotions is delighted to invite you to an incredible pre-christmas party. Proud to bring together three of the finest musical acts. Foreign Owl, Tramp and George Houston. All lower by the magnificent drumming of the one and only Steamy McCay.

FOREIGN OWL comprises three young souls born EXACTLY at the stroke of 3 bells, born PRECISELY on the land border between Japan and Ireland. 3 o'clock normally being too late or too early for anything you really want to do, they set out to create a collection of music that usurps expectations, but drives home melodies that jam into the mind and linger on the tongue.

TRAMP is the genre-queer, Donegal-accented, fiery and cathartic band breaking through the Irish DIY music scene. Their performance combines earworm guitar riffs, drums that keep you guessing - with a raw, unrelenting voice. TRAMP’s “timely lyrics” on top of their emerging punk sound is truly infectious.

GEORGE HOUSTON
Hailing from the depths of rural Ireland, alternative Donegal singer songwriter George Houston was raised on classic folk, pop and rock from his parents vast collection of cds and vinyl, always encouraged to listen and play freely with instruments, George developed a natural timeless sound, a voice beyond his years and a songwriting style sprinkled with an uninspired nostalgia.

This gig is BYOB!

🎥 Never Seen It Film Club: Emy & Robert Watch The 'Burbs (1989) 🎬

Join Emy() and Robert () as they dive into the suburban madness of The 'Burbs! Tom Hanks leads this darkly comedic romp about nosy neighbors, mysterious newcomers, and hilariously over-the-top conspiracy theories.

Will they crack the mystery of the sinister Klopeks, or will paranoia get the best of them? Tune in for fresh takes, unexpected laughs, and the usual Never Seen It Film Club banter you love!

Foinse brings the Myth of Scàil and Cúchulainn north next Friday 6th Dec.

To support writers in our community, we have created the Writers Corner, an affordable dedicated space for writers to come together and write.
Taking place once a month, from 12-3pm, the Book Bar will be transformed into a Writers Corner. Tucked into a cosy corner, writers can gather and connect and let their imagination roam.

There, you’ll have the opportunity to sketch scenes, refine chapters, plot the next novel, novella or stage play, or simply immerse yourself in your work-in-progress.
The next date for our Writer’s Corner is Sunday December 1st, 12-3pm.

The ghost with the most is back!

Come and join us tomorrow or Saturday, as your (g)host with the most, Sir Arthur Chichester (Dan Leith ) as he presents an evening of fiendish festive fun*

Hallow’istmas will be serving up some fine live (undead) comedy, music, and the chance to win some fantastic prizes… It may be your favourite holiday that you never even knew existed.

Why not add a little horror to the holidays? You know you want to… and grandad will be so disappointed if you can’t make it for dinner.

Bring your own boo(ze).

*With fantastic special guests and just a tiny taste of cannibalism.
