SUMMARY:Planting in Unusual Containers
DESCRIPTION:Explore unusual garden planters from mugs to buckets to boxes under the expert guidance of Don Kerr. \nFeel free to bring along some containers if you like (nothing too big) so we can explore ideas of what to plant in them.  \nOriginally from the Coleraine area\, Don Kerr was inspired by a Great Aunt who loved her garden. A career in Horticulture followed after college in Scotland landed him his first job as Head Gardener at a rather grand castle in Aberdeen. There were a number of jobs and locations before NI called him back 11 years ago to become Head Gardener at the Downhill Estate. \nNow retired\, Don is working on his own garden. He is Chairperson of the Roe Valley Gardening Society and a committee member of the Alpine Society. \nHe may also have some plants for sale on the day!

SUMMARY:Phil Scraton: in conversation with Bernadette McAliskey
DESCRIPTION:Bernadette McAliskey is a life-long campaigner for social justice and human rights. She continues to work internationally as a socialist republican and feminist. \nThis conversation with Professor Phil Scraton will focus on Bernadette’s lifelong commitment to socialist-feminism within a society divided by sectarian conflict and economic marginalisation. \nFrom Cookstown\, one of six children\, Bernadette Devlin’s father died when she was nine. Poverty and sectarianism inspired her socialism and republicanism\, she became politically active in the student movement. In 1969 she had a significant role in the Belfast to Derry Civil Rights march attacked by Loyalists. In Derry\, 14 innocent people were shot dead by soldiers of the Parachute Regiment. She was elected MP for Mid-Ulster aged 22. In her writing\, broadcasting and talks her political activism has remained unwavering. \nSince 1997 Bernadette has worked for\, and is now Director of\, the rights-based South Tyrone Community Empowerment Programme\, committed to protecting the rights of families recruited from Europe to work in agriculture and factories. Aiming to eradicate racism and social inequality\, STEP challenges economic marginalisation and social exclusion though personal support and community development. \nPhil is a supporter of the Arts Centre and is Emeritus Professor in the School of Law at Queen’s University\, Belfast. \n \n  \nInternational Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social\, economic\, cultural\, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. \nIWD has occurred for well over a century\, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today\, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country\, group or organization specific. \n#IWD2025 #AccelerateAction

SUMMARY:Finding the Rebel Women of County Antrim
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Ward\, renowned feminist historian and author of Unmanageable Revolutionaries\, brings us this never before told story of Cumann na mBan members from Belfast and the Antrim Glens in the period 1914 to 1924. \nREBEL WOMEN:\nCumann na mBan in Belfast and the\nGlens of Antrim 1914-1924 \nThe early years of the twentieth century saw nationalists in the north of Ireland fighting for their survival\, horrified at the prospect of the partition of six counties during a war of independence intended to achieve the complete independence of Ireland from Britain. \nIn Belfast and in the isolated communities of the Glens of Antrim the republican women of Cumann na mBan played an essential role. \nNot only did they organise arms dumps\, shelter men on the run\, hide money and documents\, provide weaponry for operations\, care for the wounded and organise effective communication systems\, they also paid the price in terms of raids and imprisonment. Their story has never before been told. \nIn this talk feminist historian Dr Margaret Ward will discuss the new archival sources and the information from some of the relatives of these forgotten activists that has enabled her to construct compelling accounts of the courageous contributions of over fifty women. \nThis event is FREE to attend\, but booking a ticket helps us plan.

SUMMARY:Aisling Agnew and Richard Allen
DESCRIPTION:Moving On Music is delighted to present two of Northern Ireland’s finest classical musicians for a rare duo outing\, flautist Aisling Agnew and harpist Richard Allen. \nAisling and Richard will present a beautiful programme of music from the vast flute and harp repertoire including music by well-known composers such as Hamilton Harty and Rossini\, alongside a new arrangement of a piece by local composer Greg Caffrey. \nAisling and Richard are in great demand as soloists\, chamber musicians and are regularly seen playing with the Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble\, Opera North\, RTE Concert Orchestra\, Ulster Orchestra\, BBC Philharmonic to name a few. \nAisling has performed across many continents\, from the National Flute Convention in Las Vegas to the Jeonju International Festival in Korea. She is an in-demand educator working regularly with students from Queens university\, the Ulster Youth Orchestra and the University of St Andrews. A BBC & ACNI young musician platform awardee\, Richard has also won 2nd prize at the prestigious Félix Godefroid International Harp Competition in Belgium\, following a 1st prize at the North London Camac Competition.

I had heard this many times played by solo violin\, but it is just as impressive for flute\, especially with a flautist of this standard.” \nThe Courier \n“Talented young concert harpist Richard Allen was the star of the show demonstrating the wide range of musical effects and emotions achievable by his instrument from dark and dramatic\, through boisterous and humorous\, to nebulous and otherworldly…virtuoso performance” \nNorthumberland Gazette \n“Agnew’s playing throughout was beautiful with extended techniques on her instrument” \n Belfast Telegraph \nProgramme:   \nChevalier de Saint-George: Sonata for harp & flute obbligato \nLili Boulanger: Nocturne \nGioachino Rossini: Andante con Varionizi \nNino Rota: Sonata for Flute and Harp \nFrancois Borne / Georges Bizet: Carmen Fantasie \nJohn Thomas: Watching the Wheat \nEddie McGuire: Three Chinese Dances \nGreg Caffrey: The Uses of Not* (World premiere of Flute & Harp version) \nHamilton Harty: In Ireland
