As part of Creative Ireland\u2019s \u2018Creative Communities on a Shared Island\u2019 initiative, two of Ireland\u2019s best known intimate music venues from opposite corners of the island \u2013 Levis\u2019 Corner House, Ballydehob and The Duncairn, Belfast – have teamed up to explore their mutual creative links in a project called \u2018The Ties that Bind\u2019.<\/p>\n
The initiative, supported by Cork County Council and Belfast City Council, will see the community in Ballydehob host artists from Belfast for a weekend of music, art, poetry and cinema from the 11th to the 14th of July.<\/p>\n
The highlight of this Shared Island project will be two \u2018takeover weekends\u2019, the first of which will see The Duncairn curate a mini festival at Levis\u2019 Corner House in Ballydehob from the 11th to the 14th of July. Over 20 artists from the North will travel 500km to take part in an action-packed programme showcasing the work that The Duncairn does and the creative community it serves. \u00a0Ballydehob will visit Belfast from November 14th to the 17th, with musicians, visual artists, craft makers and chefs. Programmed by Levis\u2019 this \u2018takeover\u2019 weekend will include their Secret Song, Jazz Funeral, Sing for Your Supper and Micro-Murals events, as well as crafting, food and engagement with local schools.<\/p>\n
Among the events planned in Ballydehob, The Duncairn\u2019s famous \u2018Club Fifty\u2019 will feature a cabaret of music, poetry and cinema from artists of both traditions in Belfast on Friday the 12th of July.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":32084,"template":"","class_list":["post-32083","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
