If a silent film falls in the woods and there’s nobody there to hear it…hmm, clearly this joke is going nowhere. You could go somewhere, though. You could hop down to Greystones for the Killruddery Film Festival which kicks off this Thursday and runs until Sunday and you could have yourself a whisper of a good time with silent films, the beautiful 17th century Killruddery House and Gardens and some masterpieces of forgotten Irish cinema combining to offer up what sounds like it’s going to be a great weekend’s entertainment.

Jack L, my favourite male vocalist, returns to Greystones Theatre on 23rd December for another intimate, seductive gathering. He is always amazing to watch and listen to, but never more so than in these smaller, intimate venues. Support Between now and then, Greystones Theatre is offering bands and musicians the chance to play support for Jack L on the night of the 23rd. Every Thursday at 9pm (it started last Thursday 12th November) they are holding singer/songwriter nights. Registration is €10 and each night is sure to showcase something new. Every performance will be recorded and made available on YouTube but one performer will be selected to play an opening support slot to Jack L at Greystones Theatre on the 23rd December plus a cash prize.
