A screening of the Irish music film ‘Songs of Granite’ (run time 1hr 44 mins) followed by music in the cafe.
The film is a must for all fans of Irish music. Acclaimed filmmaker Pat Collins (Silence) presents the life story of legendary sean nós singer Joe Heaney. The film celebrates the genius of the musician while painting an unflinching portrait of a deeply enigmatic and complex man. Born in Connemara in 1919, Joe Heaney was shaped by the myths, music and songs of his upbringing. By the time of his death in Seattle in May 1984, he was internationally acclaimed as one of the most important figures in Irish traditional music

THE GLENS CENTRE
A DREAM OF DYING 8PM-9PM
In 2009, Peter Bergmann washed up on a beach in Ireland. This is not his real name. He did not live there. No one ever came to claim him. In this moving true story, he finally gets a voice…
A Dream of Dying centres on the unbelievable real life tale of a man who has never been identified. Using CCTV footage and interviews with local residents, the police pieced together a bizarre story of his final hours; buying envelopes that were never posted, giving fake addresses to hotels, disposing of his worldly belonging across various waste bins dotted across Sligo town. When the body washed ashore, a long investigation began to attempt to identify the stranger – one that remains unsolved to this day.
Treasa Nealon has created a poignant, funny, and heartbreaking piece of writing charting the voyage of Peter Bergmann from birth to death. Killian Glynn breathes life into this solo performance with compassion and wit. Kathy O’Leary makes design debut with Splódar Theatre Company.
