Blockbusters: From Avatar to X-Men
Me and my friends, just hanging about, often listen to lyric fm's soundtrack show, Movies and Musicals. At the start of each score we race each other to figure out which movie it's from and then, vigorously, jump around on couches, swinging our arms up balleticaly, humming and da-da-da-ing to the fantastic escapism. The real magic of the movies. I can only imagine that sitting in the NCH and listening to a full orchestral performance of some of the most familiar and arousing movie scores will be just the same, except we'll have to contain our excitement at each rendition, bubbling with happiness in our seats, till the very end when we'll leap up into a frothy standing ovation. Star Trek! Back To The Future!! X-FILES!!! What's another word for EPIC?
Sam Keogh in Conversation
I'm not making this up. Sam Keogh is currently one of the biggest and most influential young Irish artists. I first met him at a house party years ago where we held an incredibly passionate discussion around our shared enthusiasm for glitter. I can recall little of it. This is a fantastic opportunity to listen and actually take in what he has to say for himself... aaaand to avoid that awkward silence at the end of the conversation when the audience are asked if they have any questions and someone coughs nervously, here are some titillating interrogation suggestions - How do you feel about the copy cat Keoghs that have been appearing in degree shows? (Seriously, he's started a movement.) Are the allegations of you being quite the ladies man true? (They are) And, if all else fails ask him to talk about why he loves glitter so much.
