Congratulations to all at Cartoon Saloon on yet another Oscar nomination. 😊 Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart’s Wolfwalkers, produced in Kilkenny, has been nominated as best animated feature for the upcoming 93rd Academy Awards.Boyle man Paul Young is a founder and CEO of Cartoon Saloon and this is the Irish studio’s fourth nomination in the category and, locked in an apparent two-horse race with Pixar’s Soul, offers them their best chance yet to win the prize.Moore told The Irish Times: “I’m delighted on behalf of all our wolfpack here in Kilkenny and in France and Luxembourg – it’s a fantastic achievement for the studio. Ross and myself are delighted all our hard work on the three movies based on Irish folklore have been recognised by the academy.” The film completes Moore’s folklore trilogy, which began with The Secret of Kells and continued with Song of the Sea. ...

Internationally renowned pianist Michael McHale has been a regular and welcome contributor to Boyle Arts Festival over the years and we are delighted to share this special online concert, which was recorded on Sunday last. The concert features the digital world premiere of Áine Mallon’s 'Raindrop Prelude' and also includes Beethoven’s 'Appassionata Sonata'. In 2020, composer Áine Mallon was commissioned to compose a piece of music for Michael in response to the 'Appassionata Sonata', in celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. Michael was due to premiere the work with a tour of Northern Ireland, but for obvious reasons that had to be postponed.The tour will take place in early 2022 but in the meantime, take 30 minutes to enjoy this wonderful recorded concert! ...
