THE Ardhowen Theatre is looking forward to hosting several events as part of the Fermanagh Live festival this weekend.

On Saturday, October 2 at 5pm, ‘Three For Joy’ will present an evening of poetry and music with Fermanagh-based poets John D. Kelly, Teresa Godfrey and internationally acclaimed musician Desi Wilkinson in the Gallery Bar.

This will be followed by Victoria Geelan in Concert in the Gallery Bar at 8pm. Victoria is a professional vocalist who has been making a name for herself on Northern Ireland’s Jazz scene for more than ten years.

Originally from Omagh, she has made Londonderry her home, performing to packed audiences at its annual Jazz Festival every year since 2011.

Then on Sunday, October 3 at 3pm, the theatre will screen ‘Watergate: A Tale of Tourelles’ by Richard Pierce. Richard shares his ideas on the purpose for which the iconic Watergate was built, the stages it has gone through in its 400-year-old history and how its style and configuration came from France via Scotland. This pre-recorded talk will be highly entertaining and informative, full of surprising twists and turns.

For the theatre’s final FLive event on Sunday, October 3 at 8pm, Fermanagh Film Club presents ‘Ordinary Love’, starring Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson, and produced by local filmmaker Brian Falconer.

On the surface it’s a tale of a couple facing up to a diagnosis of breast cancer, and a year of medical intervention, yet beyond this immediate diagnosis is something far richer and more compelling – a story of everyday love between two people living in the shadow of grief, facing an uncertain future, both together and apart.

Local Jazz enthusiasts can look forward to internationally-acclaimed, awarding-winning Jazz performers David Lyttle, drums, and Phil Robson, guitar, in the Ardhowen Gallery Bar on Thursday, October 8 at 9pm.

Tickets for all Ardhowen events are available on the theatre’s website.
