Event Details
Culture Night will take place on Friday 17th September 2021 from 6pm until 8:30pm at Ballyglunin Station.
The Three Rings team invite you to celebrate culture, creativity and the arts through fun and heartwarming live outdoor performance by The Barcelo Brothers and an audacious outdoor art exhibition by An Criu Collective. This event is supported by the Arts Council and Galways County Arts Office. The Barcelo Brothers will perform at 7:30pm.
Ramble along the Station's platform to enjoy this year's art exhibition titled Amach's Amach from some of Galway's well known designers, sculptors, painters & performers from An Criu Collective. Amach’s Amach, an exhibition inspired by the constraints and disconnections of lockdown. The themes of freedom, getting to explore the world again, and “devilment” are explored. An Criú Collective are a group of artists who work hand-in-glove with each other for large arts & theatre organisations in Galway where they are often anonymously called 'the crew'. The collective was formed in 2017 as a way for each artist to show & share their own creative work. There are more than 30 artists in the collective (designers, sculptors, painters and performers). The exhibition will take place in the unique setting of Ballyglunin Station with some pieces specially created for the location. Artists include: Áine Lawless, Bill Wright, Chris Gibbons, Claudia Lamantea, Dara McGee, Dave Donovan, Emma O’Grady, Eugene Finnegan, Esther Stupers, Jojo Hynes, Katya Solomatina, Mary Doyle, Michelle Ruane, Midie Corcoran, Mikey Dawson, Niamh Moloughney, Pete Casby, Róisín Stack, Tommy Casby, Tom Meskell and more.
The Barcelo Brothers will transport you away with their zydeco style of music infused with R&B, Reggae, soul and funk. The Barcelo Brothers were formed by brothers Séamus and Mícheál along with their father Miquel. They have a youthful, raw & energetic beat mixed with a meaningful & socially engaged musical poetry. Séamus and Mícheál sing their own heartfelt songs infused with a contagious ‘joie de vivre’’ Their concerts are always fun and heartwarming!

Event Details
In his latest outdoor adventure songster Little John Nee is joined by musician Fionn Robinson as they travel across County Galway determined to make friends with nature. But, it appears that sometimes nature doesn’t want to be friends. Through song and comedy, Little John and Fionn tackle some difficult questions that cannot be ignored: Why is sea water salty not sweet? What’s the story with nettles?
In ‘Salt of the Sea’ Little John and long-time collaborator Fionn present a travelling outdoor concert of songs and stories, featuring a variety of intriguing instruments played with comic gusto and questionable virtuosity. The stories and songs centre around themes that engage the existential curiosity of young audiences regarding our relationship with the living things that surround us, from nettles to jellyfish, from cherry blossom trees to bees knees and the rare human being that is Captain Salt, who lives in a tugboat but has never been to sea. Ultimately, this show is a celebration of life and community that provides a much needed boost to the immune system through laughter, wonder, and song. Recommended Age: 6+. Performance Duration: 35-40 minBaboró festival venues require that all patrons over the age of 18 must be fully vaccinated, as per current government Covid-19 guidelines. Patrons must present their Covid-19 vaccination certificate with valid ID on entry to the venue. Accompanying children under 18 do not need to be fully vaccinated. All patrons over 13 must wear a facemask during events.
This show plays outdoors and is presented on 'Festival in a Van' in rural venues, schools and libraries. Please dress according to the weather.

Event Details
The Fit-up Theatre Festival is expanding into Connacht!
There is to be a new Fit-Up Festival in North-East Co. Galway, hosted by Three Rings in association with Galway County Council with support from the Arts Council Ireland. The first ever Galway Fit-Up will kick in November with a week-long tour of Noni Stapleton’s award-winning play Charolais running from 2nd to 7th of November.
‘Charolais‘ takes the age old story of female jealousy and gives it a new twist: the other woman is cow, a literal one, a purebred Charolais (French) heifer. Noni Stapleton plays Siobhán, whose farmer boyfriend devotes considerable attention to his prize heifer at the expense of his very pregnant and disgruntled girlfriend. Siobhan has developed a homicidal jealousy for this Charolais and is feeling equally murderous towards her
snobbish soon-to-be mother in law. A dark comedy of love and longing: rarely in theatre are the challenges of farming life and the joy of sex expressed so frankly or with such charm.
There will be a performance at The Storehouse on Sunday 7th November. Performance will be at at 8pm.
Covid compliance measures will be in place and all patrons are asked to adhere to public health guidelines at the time of event. Capacity is limited in each of the venues so it is advisable to book tickets in advance.
For bookings call 0879677732 / 0872372820.
Tickets €15/€12.50
