There, the American-born British artist who has lived in Annagassan for around 25 years, showcases a visual diary of contemporary USA that\u2019s presented in a single line, \u201ckind of like sitting in a car and seeing America go by\u201d, as she explained on RT\u00c9\u2019s Arena recently.<\/p>\n

A selection of images from Jackie Nickerson’s ‘Stateside’ exhibition<\/p>\n
The snapshot-style work spans a decade-long \u00adperiod of Nickerson working in the US, using whatever camera she had to hand on the day \u2013 medium format, 35mm, point and shoot, iPhone.<\/p>\n
The result is a series of fragmented, recurring images that explore patterns of \u00adsameness across vastly different landscapes, including streets in Chicago, military installations in Hawaii, Utah deserts and New York City skyscrapers. The show runs until May 9. highlanes.ie<\/p>\n

Many people know Maggie Molloy from Cheap Irish Houses, the popular RT\u00c9 TV series in which the Wexford crafter, illustrator and property prospector helps cash-strapped buyers consider rescuing old homes from their hovel fate.<\/p>\n
She not only has a nose for a bargain but a great eye, which will stand her in good stead for her latest endeavour: opening her very own bricks and mortar vintage shop over the May bank holiday weekend in her native Carnew.<\/p>\n

Maggie Molloy has dusted off some retro treasures for her second-hand shop<\/p>\n
Simply titled Molloy\u2019s (eircode Y14 HP40, for GPS fans), the shop is a lovingly curated treasure trove of pre-loved homewares, from rainbow-bright ceramics and cushions to retro kitchen gadgets \u2013 and even sorbet-hued bathroom sinks that are very much back in vogue.

There\u2019s always a pulse of excitement with a new production by Teac Damsa, the contemporary dance theatre company founded by choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan, not least their upcoming show 1975\/Naoi D\u00e9ag Seacht\u00f3 C\u00faig which debuts on April 30 at F\u00e9ile na Bealtaine in Dingle (it plays for five nights), before moving to Cork Opera House on June 18-20 as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
‘1975\/Naoi D\u00e9ag Seacht\u00f3 C\u00faig’ is the new work by Michael Keegan-Dolan and troupe<\/p>\n
Devised by Keegan-Dolan, the piece will be performed to The Bothy Band 1975, the pioneering trad group\u2019s album from the same year \u2013 of which member Tr\u00edona N\u00ed Dhomhnaill is tickled pink:<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing Naoi D\u00e9ag Seacht\u00f3 C\u00faig transported me right back to moments from the time of making the album, in a way I had not expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeac Damsa\u2019s interpretation of our work brings to life all the joy, fun, sadness and divilment of what was an extraordinary adventure for us as a band.\u201d teacdamsa.com<\/p>\n

Dandelion in Howth combines greengrocer, deli, bakery, cafe and bougie pantry items<\/p>\n
For day-trippers, Howth is all about the harbour, the beach, Deer Park and cliff walks \u2013 and snaffling fresh fish and chips on the pier (before a local herring gull does it for you).<\/p>\n
Residents know that Mam\u00f3 is the best spot for elevated dining, and The Harbour Bar \u2013 the peninsula\u2019s only true boozer; no food, just drinks \u2013 is No.1 for a creamy pint or (my fave) a Wicklow Wolf Tundra Tropical Pale Ale.<\/p>\n
The Country Market, on Main Street, was until recently a mainstay, combining bougie groceries with a deli and an upstairs cafe. Hearts sank, then, when closure was abruptly announced… but soared on learning it was rebranding as Dandelion by local woman Aoife Barker, former head chef of L\u2019Gueuleton and more recently of 147 Deli sandwiches at Chubby\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Barker has thankfully retained the pantry goods and deli counter, while adding a very fancy rotisserie oven and a ground floor seating section. No herring gulls here.<\/p>\n

Myles O’Reilly and R\u00f3n\u00e1n \u00d3 Snodaigh\u2019s new release ‘Mise Tusa’<\/p>\n
If R\u00f3n\u00e1n \u00d3 Snodaigh\u2019s chant-like vocals on new single N\u00ed Liom Dom are anything to go by, Mise Tusa, his third album with Myles O\u2019Reilly, is a keeper. N\u00ed Liom Dom was the last track recorded for the LP \u2013 and ad-libbed by \u00d3 Snodaigh, marking a new songwriting technique for the pair.<\/p>\n
Says O\u2019Reilly: \u201cIt even tips into something a little ravey at the end \u2013 the pulse lifts, the heartbeat rises more than in any of our other work. There\u2019s something expansive in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019ll be interesting on Friday, when Mise Tusa is released, to find out what melodious paths lead to this unexpected song, tucked between a textural rendition of The Fields of Athenry and their gently undulating The Crackling Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See one thing There, the American-born British artist who has lived in Annagassan for around 25 years, showcases…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,154200,6992],"class_list":{"0":"post-414641","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-lucy-white","12":"tag-people-culture-magazine"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
