Nick Kelly's The Song Cycle and Screen Waterford's Well Girl Programme Featured on On The Fringe with Gemma Delaney
Listeners can look forward to another engaging and inspiring edition of On The Fringe with Gemma Delaney, proudly supported by Waterford Panto Society, as tonight's programme shines a spotlight on creativity, storytelling, music and community initiatives in Waterford and beyond.
This evening's show features two fascinating conversations, with musician and adventurer Nick Kelly discussing his acclaimed live production The Song Cycle, and filmmaker Flavia Porodominsky sharing details about Screen Waterford's exciting new Well Girl programme for migrant women.
Nick Kelly Brings The Song Cycle to Garter Lane Waterford
Award-winning musician, songwriter, author and cyclist Nick Kelly joins Gemma Delaney to discuss The Song Cycle, which comes to Garter Lane Arts Centre in Waterford on July 18th.
Part live concert, part storytelling experience, The Song Cycle chronicles Kelly's remarkable journey as he cycled thousands of kilometres across Europe while performing music along the way. The unique production combines original songs, personal reflections, humour and stunning visuals to create an unforgettable evening for audiences.
During the interview, Kelly reflects on the inspiration behind the project and explains how the challenges, encounters and adventures he experienced during his cycling journey shaped both the music and the stories featured in the show.
Known for his work as the frontman of The Fat Lady Sings and for his successful solo career, Kelly has built a reputation as a compelling storyteller who effortlessly blends music and narrative. His appearance on On The Fringe offers listeners an insight into the creative process behind The Song Cycle and what audiences can expect when the production arrives in Waterford later this summer.
The conversation is a must-listen for music lovers, travel enthusiasts and anyone interested in the power of storytelling through live performance.
Screen Waterford Launches Well Girl Programme for Migrant Women
Also featured on tonight's programme is filmmaker, director and facilitator Flavia Porodominsky, who joins Gemma to discuss Well Girl, an innovative new initiative from Screen Waterford.
The programme has been designed specifically for migrant women and aims to provide participants with opportunities to develop skills in filmmaking, creative media and visual storytelling. Through workshops, mentoring and hands-on experience, participants will gain valuable knowledge while exploring their own stories and perspectives through film.
Speaking on the programme, Porodominsky highlights the importance of creating inclusive opportunities within the creative industries and explains how storytelling can help build confidence, foster connections and amplify voices that are often underrepresented.
The discussion also explores the growing importance of diversity and representation in film and media, while outlining the practical benefits available to participants who take part in the course.
As Waterford continues to strengthen its reputation as a hub for arts, culture and creativity, initiatives such as Well Girl play an important role in ensuring that people from all backgrounds have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the region's vibrant creative community.
