Welcome to Shorelines Arts Festival 2024 for a feast of craic, music, drama, film, exhibitions, workshops and more.
Kicking off the festival is the ever popular Tulla Céilí Band, sure to get toes tapping at a Céilí including sets, céilí dances and waltzes. Top musical highlights include Duke Special, known for his theatrical style; Eurovision winner Paul Harrington, who along with Graham Murphy, will present his popular show The Lyric’s The Thing; popular jazz from the 50’s and 60’s with Quarter Jazz as well as a classical hour from The Esposito Quartet.
Theatre performances include the incredible Mikel Murfi in I Hear You And Rejoice, funny lady Pauline O’Driscoll in Seven
Ages of MAM and PJ Brady in Patrick Kavanagh – A Life.
For fans of all things literary, we have the author of the Guinness Girls series, Emily Hourican in conversation with Nuala
O’Connor; family psychotherapist & broadcaster Richard Hogan on his bestseller Home is Where the Start Is; open-water swimmer & adventurer Nuala Moore recalling her memoir Limitless – From Dingle to the Bering Strait; Doire Press with
Poetry and Tunes and our inaugural Books & Buns Quiz!
A veritable feast of Visual Arts exhibitions await you at the Workhouse and Portumna Castle. The festival is rounded off with our usual wide range of Workshops, Street and Family Entertainment, Shorelines Film Shorts & Documentaries
and a Schools Programme.
So get booking as all tickets are online (except where free or otherwise stated) and encourage your family, relatives and friends to join us in Portumna for a weekend of entertainment, joy and fun!
Thanks to our local sponsors, friends and volunteers, and to everyone at the Arts Council and Galway County
Council Arts Office for their continued support.
