"The Girl at the End of the Garden" will be screened at the Cork Film Festival
Dyehouse Films comprises the Waterford duo of Bonnie Dempsey and David O'Sullivan. The Girl at the End of the Garden is the latest production to come from this venture; it's a slapstick comedy in short film format, that also has a strong message of the plight of children in Direct Provision. It will be screened on November 17th at the Cork Film Festival, and Bonnie joined me in studio to chat all about it...

Waterford Institute of Technology is holding at open day for 6th year students studying music for the Leaving Cert. Staff and students from the BA (Hons) Music programme will present three workshops on different aspects of the Leaving Certificate Music syllabus on Thursday, 14 November.
The first deals with fusion in Irish traditional music with a live ensemble to illustrate the points. The second focuses on the music of The Beatles with performances by the WIT jazz ensemble and the WIT Chamber Choir. The third is an exploration of Raymond Deane's "Seachanges" where motifs from the work will be explored and developed through creative improvisations.
