SUMMARY:The Last Five Years
DESCRIPTION:What if you could watch a relationship from both ends at once? The Last Five Years charts the highs\, lows\, and crossed wires of a couple navigating love alongside individual dreams. Cathy tells her story from the break-up backwards\, Jamie from the first spark forwards — and somewhere in the middle\, their timelines meet. \nIt’s funny\, tender\, and painfully honest: the everyday mix-ups that snowball into poor choices\, the thrill of ambition\, and the way success for one and failure for the other quietly erode what once felt unshakable. \nStarring Karen Gordon as Cathy\, bringing warmth\, wit\, and emotional precision to a modern musical gem about the cost of chasing dreams and the truths we don’t want to face\, alongside Warren McCook as Jamie\, whose performance captures the drive\, optimism\, and unraveling journey of a man chasing success and love in parallel. \nWritten and composed by\nJASON ROBERT BROWN \nDirected by Kieran Griffiths\nMusical Direction by Niamh Crowley\nStarring Karen Gordon\, Warren McCook \nOriginally Produced for the New York stage by Arielle Tepper and Marty Bell\nOriginally Produced by Northlight Theatre\, Chicago\, USA\nPerformed by arrangement with Music Theatre International

SUMMARY:Black Pig Festival Enniscrone
DESCRIPTION:Set along the sweeping Atlantic shoreline\, the Black Pig Festival is the heartbeat of summer in the seaside village of Enniscrone\, drawing locals and visitors together each year for a lively celebration of community\, culture and coastal life. Held at the end of July\, the festival transforms the town into a vibrant hub of music\, food and family-friendly entertainment. \nAt the centre of it all is a story. The festival takes its name from the legendary Black Pig of Muckdubh\, a mythical wild boar said to have rampaged from Donegal to Enniscrone before finally being slain by locals. According to folklore\, the creature was so enormous it had to be buried beneath a mound of earth\, giving the area its name and inspiring a tradition that lives on today. \nWhile its origins lie in myth\, the modern festival is anything but dark. It is a joyful\, energetic event that reflects the spirit of the town itself. Across several days\, Enniscrone comes alive with open-air concerts\, beach activities\, funfairs and community events. From sandcastle competitions and heritage walks to triathlons\, live music and fireworks over Killala Bay\, there is a strong sense of inclusivity\, with something for every age group. \nFood also plays a central role\, with events like the “Taste of Enniscrone” bringing together local producers and showcasing the best of the region’s flavours. Combined with the Atlantic backdrop and long summer evenings\, it creates a festival atmosphere that feels both relaxed and electric at the same time. \nUltimately\, the Black Pig Festival is more than an annual event. It is a celebration of storytelling\, place and people\, where ancient legend meets modern coastal life\, and where a small Sligo village opens itself up to the world in a uniquely warm and memorable way.

SUMMARY:Taste of Sligo Food Festival
DESCRIPTION:Set against the lively backdrop of Queen Maeve’s Square in the heart of Sligo\, the Taste of Sligo Food Festival has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting culinary gatherings along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. First launched in 2024\, the festival was created to showcase the richness of Sligo’s food culture while drawing together chefs\, producers and food lovers for a vibrant weekend of flavour\, creativity and community. \nAt its core\, the festival is a celebration of place. Sligo\, long known for its coastal produce\, fertile land and deep-rooted food traditions\, provides the perfect setting for an event that blends local authenticity with contemporary culinary flair. From freshly caught seafood to artisan breads and craft drinks\, the festival offers visitors a genuine taste of the region’s identity. \nAcross the weekend\, Queen Maeve’s Square transforms into an open-air food theatre. Visitors can wander between bustling artisan stalls and food trucks\, sampling everything from gourmet street food to locally distilled spirits. Meanwhile\, live cookery demonstrations bring energy and expertise to the stage\, with well-known chefs and local culinary talents sharing techniques\, stories and inspiration. \nBut the festival is about more than just food. Live music fills the square\, families gather for entertainment and activities\, and long communal tables encourage a relaxed\, social atmosphere. The inclusion of al fresco dining reflects a wider shift in Irish food culture\, where eating is not just about sustenance but about experience\, connection and storytelling. \nThe vision behind the event comes from restaurateur Anthony Gray\, who sought to create an annual showcase that highlights both the quality of local produce and the strength of Sligo’s food community. His ambition was simple yet powerful: to celebrate everything that is good about food in the county while inviting visitors to discover it for themselves. \nAs it continues to grow\, the Taste of Sligo Food Festival is becoming a key date in Ireland’s food tourism calendar. It reflects a broader movement across the country\, where regional festivals are redefining how people engage with local cuisine. In Sligo\, this takes shape as a lively\, welcoming and flavour-filled experience\, one that captures the spirit of the northwest in every bite.
