offsite link Fifty Ways to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights Fri Apr 19, 2024 17:28 | Dr David McGrogan
Rishi Sunak has once again been dropping hints about leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. This is not credible, says Dr David McGrogan: such a feat would require a Government far more serious than this one.

The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

Youthful Presentation in Carlingford

Let's Hope We will Get to Hear Singers More Frequently in Carlingford

The concert given in Carlingford this afternoon by three young men was less glamorous than the previous concert which was given by The Esslan Trio. The program was interesting in its range and also because it included a singer.

A concert was given in The Carlingford Heritage Centre on Sunday 1 May 2005 starting at 4.00 p.m. by Eoin Supple (Baritone) and, seperately, by Karl Sweeney (violin). Aengus Kerin (piano) accompanied both soloists in turn.

The program was

Mozart An Chloe
Als Luise die Briefe

Schubert Gute Nacht
Frülingstraum

Fauré Prison

Hahn Trois jours de Vendange

Dunhill The Cloths of Heaven

Quilter Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal

Mozart Se vuol ballare (Le Nozze di Figaro)
Non piu andrai (Le Nozze di Figaro)

Interval

Joannes Brahms Sonata No 1 in G major, Op 78
1. Vivace ma non troppo
2. Adagio
3. Allegro molto moderato

Franz Waxman Carmen Fantasy

The presentation was unfussy and the singer got through the first half of the concert adequately enough if undramatically. He added two pieces to the program above (which I have copied from the official program). I did not make a note of the titles of the two additional pieces but I think they were familiar enough songs - settings of texts by, I think, Burns or Blake, and Shakespeare.

The violinist Karl Sweeney gave a good account of the Brahms and proved himself to be a wizard at the pyrotechnics in Carmen Fantasy and an encore - something with "Goblins" in the title. Karl is 23 and from Knockbridge, Co Louth.

Aengus Kerin (Age 21 from Sligo) was a composed and unruffled accompanist who did very well and he did not attempt to steal the limelight.

As I said at the start the soloists were unfussy to the point of diffidence.
