MAYORSWELCOME
It has been my pleasure this year to once again sit on the board of Junction Festival for the duration of my mayoral term, having represented the Borough Council for two years when it was first set up back in 2004. Since those early days the organisation has matured and the event become an established landmark in the towns calendar, attracting visitors and offering the people of the town and region an annual feast of music and theatre. I would like to offer my appreciation to the funders, particularly the Arts Council, who have supported the Festival over the years, and to the local businesses and individuals who, contribute to the ongoing success of the event. A measure of the impact the Festival has had on the town can be seen in the wealth of local talent participating in this years event. I also heartily welcome to town all the visiting artists form Ireland and abroad. It is particularly pleasing to see Mchel Silleabhin and Paul Walsh, who were both born here, and are now established International artists, coming back to share the wealth of their knowledge with local artists and their talent with us, the public. I wish the Festival the very best for 2013 and look forward to its continued success for many years to come.

To you the public, we hope that you will take some time during these 10 days in July to Explore our town, Engage with the many wonderful events on offer and most of all Enjoy yourself. Cllr. Billy Shoer, Mayor of Clonmel

Patrons Priority Seating Madisons Descent, Mchel Silleabhans Masque in Ten Movements, was inspired by Page Allens book of the same name. For the European premiere of this work, Clonmel native OSilleabhin has been working closely with the Junction Festival Choir and guest conductor Fergus Sheil, soprano Claudia Boyle, saxophonist Kenneth Edge and the 14 piece Carolan Chamber Orchestra. This 60 minute choral work will be preceded by a piano recital by Silleabhin, with the Carolan Chamber Orchestra, of some of his most popular compositions. This concert is being recorded for RT Lyric FM for future broadcast Mchel Silleabhin was born in Clonmel and studied with composers Aloys Fleishmann and Sen Riada. As first Chair of Music, University of Limerick, he founded the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. He has made many recordings with the Irish Chamber Orchestra (Virgin/ EMI), was awarded an Honorary D.Mus from UCC. Fergus Sheil is one of Irelands leading conductors. Artistic director of Wide Open Opera, he conducted the acclaimed production of Tristan und Isolde in Dublin in 2012. Claudia Boyle, one of the most sought after sopranos from these shores, appeared at Wexford Opera Festival as La Comtesse (La Cour de Climne), performed at Komische Opera Berlin as Konstanze (Die Entfhrung aus dem Serail) and with the Philharmonia Orchestra as Hanna Glawari (The Merry Widow). Saxophonist Kenneth Edge was the original saxophonist for Riverdance and solo clarinetist for the 1st Broadway production The Pirate Queen. John Buckley composed his Concerto for Alto Sax and String Orchestra for Kenneth.
Artist Page Allen, author and illustrator of Madisons Descent, will give a pre-concert talk on her work (see also pg 13). The story of Madisons Descent began when artist Page Allens sister gave birth to her first baby, Madison. Standing in the birthing room at dawn, in wonder, it seemed to Page as if this baby had completed a long journey. She had arrived, not only in her body, but in her self. Allen went on to write and illustrate Madisons Descent, the book, which in turn was the inspiration for Mchel Silleabhins composition.

Dublin based 3epkano have established themselves as one of the finest music ensembles in the country, composing and performing original scores for the great silent movies of the 1920s and 1930s. For many years they have been regular performers at Kilkenny Arts Festival, for which they created the soundtrack for Der Golem (1920) - which incorporates the exceptional vocals of Internationally renowned sen ns singer Iarla OLonaird. In the Jewish ghetto in 16th Century Prague, the community leader and astrologer, Rabbi Lw, foresees doom for his people. He creates a forbidding clay golem that he brings to life with the assistance of a demon spirit. Initially the Golem does nothing but good, but things change after Lws assistant, Famulus, uses the creature to win the affections of the Rabbis daughter, Miriam. Famulus tries to return the Golem to rest, but fails, allowing the enraged creature to embark on a trail of destruction. Der Golem is a must-see for lovers of German Expressionist cinema, as well as the perfect introduction to this classic era of film-making for the uninitiated. A forerunner of Frankenstein and inspiration for many classic horror moviemakers this is a rare treat for film fans and music lovers.

A double bill of world class traditional musicians from Ireland and North Africa. Both will perform their concert set and come together for a magnificent finale, fusing traditions.
If you liked Yair DeLal and Mairtn Connor (Junction Festival 2005), or you love traditional and world music you will love this!
Frankie Gavin & De Dannan are legends in the traditional Irish music world. Frankie himself is one of the most celebrated Irish fiddle players of all time, having performed and recorded with rock legends The Rolling Stones, jazz legend Stephane Grappelli and world renowned violinist Sir Yehudi Menuhin, amongst many others. After 33 years, 14 albums and a number of changes in the line up, the group disbanded in 2003 reforming afresh with new energy to form a De Dannan of the 21st century. The new line up is led by original member and leader Frankie Gavin, with Barry Brady, Colm OCaoimh, Paul ODriscoll and Michelle Lally on lead vocals. Ghalia Benali is one of the most exciting female vocalists to have emerged from North Africa in recent years. Now based in Belgium, Ghalia performs regularly in Europe, the US and North Africa, where she has a particularly strong connection with Egypt. She is accompanied to Ireland by two Egyptian musicians Ayman Mabrouk on percussion and Ayman Asfour on violin, with whom she has been working on an exciting new repertoire. Ghalia is renowned across the Middle East for her fluid voice and hypnotic compositions, which are imbued with multi-layered meanings.

Ghalia Benali performs regularly in her native Tunis and in Egypt, two countries which experienced great changes during the Arab Spring. In her Caf conversation she will discuss the role women and artists played in the monumental events of Feb 2011. (see also page 13)

Multimedia is very much the buzz word at the moment, but what exactly does it mean? You can come and find out in The Media Cave, where you will be immersed in a combination of content formsaudio, still images, performance, animation, videoall trying to collaborate and interact with each other. For this caf space, Clonmel artist Maurice Caplice, (Sound Lab Caf 2011), will be joined by Nill ODwyer, a multimedia artist whose work focuses on the exploration of interactive public spaces. For the caf, they will be devising a multi screen installation which will be responsive to public interventions, evolving and changing with each new encounter. The Media Cave will include an assortment of recorded, played, displayed equipment and processing devices as well as video and collaborative graff exhibits. Members of the public will be able to interact and consult with the curators, as well as bring their own projects to develop. Once again, trainees will be involved in the setting up and running of the space, giving young adults a unique opportunity to experience and understand many aspects of multimedia. Maurice Caplice in collaboration with Dj MiSk (a.k.a. Phil Byrne) curated the very popular Sound Lab in Junction Festival 2011, during which the space was a hive of activity with the two artists encouraging, mentoring and recording many musicians, poets and talkers, as well as coaching members of the public keen to know more about sound and recording technologies. Maurice is a practicing artist that works in many contexts and medias. Nill ODwyer is a visual artist and practice-based researcher at the Arts Technology Research Lab (ATRL), at Trinity College. He is a part-time member of staff at NCAD and an associate fellow of Gradcam. His research at the ATRL investigates possibilities offered by indeterminacy at the meeting-point of computation and live performance, how one can inform the other, and why this is useful in artistic-public spheres. Performance artist, Regan OBrien, will open the proceedings and DJ MiSk will return to conclude with another great audio mix.
The Garden Menagerie, hosted by Nina Tanis and Fiona Dowling, is the Festivals latest interactive space where children and their parents will be inspired and have lots of fun, while taking part in creative activities. The Garden Menagerie will be divided into several zones, each waiting to be explored, some growing and changing as the week goes on. The zones will include: The Reading Station - a visually attractive space with a giant blanket and lots of pillows. Step in with shoes off, snuggle up to read out loud or listen to others reading and storytelling. The Animal Pet Station - a menagerie of 3D animals that will grow during the course of the Festival week. Get busy with Nina and Fiona helping with the building. The Garden Station - an evolving flower installation made of plastic bottles, real plants, and a multi-sensory corner complete with lights, mobiles, chimes and a small fountain. The Drawing Corner - games for 2 or more, using drawing for exploring... And of course The Dress and Make-up Corner... Nina Tanis and Fiona Dowling share a passion for art and storytelling, as well as a love of fun and people, and have been working together since they first met in art college in 2000. In their work they like to create unexpected situations for strangers to meet one another and engage playfully and creatively. Both artists share a deep respect for our beautiful planet and are enthusiastic about growing food, recycling, reusing and celebrating the beauty of the environment. Past projects include the residency and exhibition 15 days in Finland (Joensuu 2005), Personality Caf (Dublin Fringe Festival 2005 & 2006), StoryHouse (Clonmel Junction Festival 2011), Story Nap (Five Lamps Arts Festival, Dublin, 2011), Why?

Defying stereotype, theyre here to share with you something theyve never dared to before. A fresh, human and hilarious piece, I Alice I explores the monumental journey of a most unlikely couple. This is an unflinching and acutely personal love story. Having originally been performed in Project Arts Centre, the work was restaged in the Dublin Theatre Festival in partnership with Culture Ireland and The Irish Theatre Institute. Since then, it has been presented on the Peacock stage of the Abbey, Irelands National Theatre and toured extensively both in Ireland and abroad.

THE SHOW
1927s inimitable blend of finely crafted animation with pitch perfect, twisted storytelling, live action and music, has made them one of the most talked about companies in the UK of the last 5 years. They seamlessly synchronize live music, performance and storytelling with stunning films and animation. The Animals and Children took to the Streets comes to Junction Festival for just three performances, following a world premiere at Sydney Opera House in 2010, three sell-out, critically acclaimed London seasons at the National Theatre. The show takes place in the Bayou, a part of the city feared and loathed, wherein lies the infamous Bayou Mansions, a sprawling, stinking tenement block, in which curtain-twitchers and peeping toms live sideby-side, and the wolf is always at the door. When Agnes Eaves and her daughter arrive late one night, does it signal hope in this hopeless place, or has the real horror only just begun? Like a giant graphic novel burst into life, 1927 invites you on a theatrical journey of startling originality.
THE SHOW
Paperbelles world is blank and plain and she likes it that way. Shes heard of colour, but would prefer things to stay as they are blank and plain. The colours, on the other hand, want to play games and they want Paperbelle to join in. Paperbelles world is changing will she try to stop it or might she find its not as bad as it first seemed? Paperbelle is an enchanting theatre performance, a gentle and playful exploration of colour set in a magical world of paper. A wonderful introduction to theatre for young audiences.
THE SHOW
The Musical Menagerie combines the musical imagination of multiinstrumentalist, improviser and composer Boris Hunka, with the skills of renowned puppeteer and actor, Thomas Baker. The result is a magical blend of entertainment and escapism. Two bored zoo-keepers pass their time reminiscing about the adventures they have had in the job... and so begins the telling of a tall tale about a gibbon who lost his tail. In search of the missing member, the zookeepers encounter exotic animals from far and wide, including Sheridan the Sloth, Imelda the Rhino Hornbill and Gilbert the Gibbon whos lost his groove. The magical musical is told with original songs, including Im a Lean Mean Sleeping Machine, What Did the Dodo Do Do and, The Rainforest Jive to name but a few.

Its not easy to get by in this crazy old world. But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other. Fred and Alice first met in the home. It was love at first sight for Alice. Fred didnt talk to her again for years but then eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too. From their days in care, to independent living, Fred and Alice negotiate the perils and pitfalls of life and love.
If you liked Zikabilo and Oncle Strongle you will love this.
Bashavav are one of the most sought after French Gypsy bands performing in mainland Europe. With a reputation for thrilling, upbeat live performances that are sure to have feet tapping and skirts swinging, this promises to be a fun and lively night. Bashavav, who will be visiting Ireland for the first time, have blended the many influences of Romani culture they have gathered on their extensive travels throughout Eastern Europe into a distinctive style. Their new show is based on the repertoire created for their second CD, Balkan Caf, which was released in France earlier this year.

One of the most distinctive features of Junction Festival over the years has been its banner and flag displays, which are made by local children with the help of professional artists, announcing the imminent arrival of Festival. This programme, which has been running since 2002, is made possible by the generous support of Abbott who have been sponsoring it since their move to Clonmel in 2006. This years banner project was designed by artist Lyn Mather and explored different realms, such as the sky, leagues under the sea, the prehistoric world, the microworld, the world of robots and machines, and the forest. Central to this years banners are a series of hoola-hoops, which have been decorated with colourful and mainly recycled plastics. From the first art session where the childrens imagination is ignited, to making the banners in small groups, the programme provides a real-life opportunity for cooperation and teamwork, while tapping into the creative potential of childrens imagination. Over the course of three weeks, the children got first hand experience of new techniques and materials under the guidance of Mather and her team of arts workers. The creative outcome of this collaboration will be on display for all to savour on the main streets of Clonmel.
