Fire in the Head
Armagh
Emain Macha.
From the W.B. Yeats poem, the Song of the Wandering Aengus, “ Fire in the Head’ depicts passion for love, nature, creativity and art, and in this spirit we celebrate an Ides of March exhibition and feis.
Armagh, one of Ireland’s oldest settlements was once believed to be the seat of power of Queen Macha who gave the name “Ard Macha” to the city, meaning Macha’s height. Three miles west of Armagh lies Emain Macha, a major ceremonial centre and one of the most cited places in Irish literature. Emain Macha was named for Macha’s neck brooch, which she used to mark the boundaries of the sacred site.
The exhibition features 40 visual artists working in a variety of mediums and runs from March 15th to April 15th with a free opening reception and St. Patrick’s day feis Saturday March 15th from 2-4 P.M.
Live music by Crooked Penny. Medieval display by Ian Walsh and Blackthorn Productions. Irish dance by Tara Tarzwell and the Royal Academy of Irish Dance.
Come join us as we celebrate the magic of Armagh and the fire of Macha in the spirit of the isles with barmbrack and beoir!

An intimate evening with Emm Gryner and Royal Wood: One of Canada's most acclaimed indie artists, Emm Gryner crafts highly polished, yet emotionally raw pop songs. Her talents caught the attention of international stars such as David Bowie and The Cardigans, both inviting her to perform in their touring bands. U2's Bono declared "Almighty Love" to be one of the six songs he wished he had written. After a year and a half with David Bowie, Emm left to return to her career. In 2006 she released the critically acclaimed The Summer of High Hopes, "a winning mix of indie-rock, orchestral pop and ballads ... stunning." Brian Campbell of the Irish News Emm is also the co host of CBC's "Under The Covers" with musician Danny Michel. She runs her own record label, m Dead Daisy Records. Label mate Royal Wood is a multi- instrumentalist who started with the piano at the age of four. His self-written, performed and produced releases The Milkweed (2003) and Tall Tales (2004) have garnered critical praise. "The album (Tall Tales) drifts from sad pastoral laments to capering piano pop jubilance with an effortlessness that is truly staggering." Now Magazine For his third album A Good Enough Day, Royal enlisted a few of his Toronto friends including Hawksley Workman, Kevin Fox and Harmony Trowbridge. His music has been featured on several TV and movie soundtracks including the HBO series Regenisis and the CBC series This is Wonderland.
