The Fermanagh Herald is to act as a main sponsor of the 2014 Fermanagh Live Festival (FLive). The sponsorship deal was announced this week, and Fermanagh Herald editor Maurice Kennedy said the paper was looking forward to supporting the groundbreaking arts festival which is now in its third year in its current form. Bringing 50 events and over 5,000 event attendees to the county, this year’s festival will take place from September 20 to October 5 2014. This year’s festival includes Barry Douglas in concert, Swinging Through The Shows and Films with Bob Quick’s Brass Ensemble, ‘Padraig Potts’ Guide to Walking’, Jazz Brunch with The Mark Bradley Quartet, plus much more. 2 This year’s festival programme can be found at www.FLive.org.uk. Fermanagh Arts Festival is a charitable organisation based in Enniskillen, founded in 2007. Initially, the organisation co-ordinated the bi-annual Enniskillen Arts Festival and, in 2012, turned it into the annual Fermanagh Live Festival as it is now known. Fermanagh Herald editor Maurice Kennedy said that the paper is ‘delighted’ to partner with the festival for the upcoming programme: “Fermanagh Live as a festival has gone from strength to strength, especially since it evolved into an annual festival in 2012. “The organisers have been working on a varied and accessible programme for the people of Fermanagh and further afield and I would anticipate tremendous interest in this year’s programme. “We’ve been watching the festival’s progress over the past few years and the many local Book Tickets: www.FLive.org.uk or 028 6632 5440 people involved deserve a lot of credit for sticking with it and making it the success that it is today. We wish the festival every success and look forward to working with the committee over the coming months. They’ve put together a brilliant programme for this year’s festival and I think we’re all in for a real treat come September,” added Mr Kennedy.

Welcome to FLive 2014, the 6th celebration of arts and music in Fermanagh. I am once again honoured to be Chair of this ever-expanding and inclusive festival which aims to bring high-quality and enjoyable events to our county. Highlights this year include a much anticipated recital by the internationally renowned pianist, Barry Douglas and traditional music from the legendary Donegal group Altan. As usual we bring you the best in the West with a classical programme by old Portorans Gareth Knox and Kristan Swain, a solo show by ceramicist Jane Fallis, an exclusive interview with the Brookeborough-born broadcaster and photographer Bobbie Hanvey and a new film featuring Ciaran McMenamin. Come cruising with a guided tour of our island town or hop on a bus for an exclusive preview of our art and photographic exhibitions. There’s Jazz on the menu at the Enniskillen Hotel, and cool cabaret at Franco’s restaurant. Celebrate National Poetry Day with our poetry readings on the hour “From Dawn to Dusk.” As always, we offer a full programme of ‘hands on’ events for children including Cinemagic, a Circus School and a Carnival parade. For young musicians we’ve arranged workshops for strings and brass plus a chance to perform with The Big Brass Swing band. In conclusion, I must thank our main supporters, Fermanagh District Council, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the many local businesses who, because of their generous help, make this festival possible. See you there! Book Tickets: www.FLive.org.uk or 028 6632 5440 In days gone by Fermanagh people were shy about promoting what is great and unique about our county. In recent years a start has been made. We have magnificent scenery, an unspoiled countryside, a wonderful tradition of art in all its forms. The beauty of Fermanagh has been recognised by others. The G8 Conference was the catalyst for self-promotion. It is noticeable too that many local areas have developed first-class community centres and through them communities have come together to take pride in their own locality. I am delighted Fermanagh Live is now promoting, in a vibrant and professional way, all that is good about Fermanagh’s unique culture. I wish this sixth festival well and I notice that it truly has something for everyone. During the festival you will be able to enjoy the best of traditional music, drama and a wide variety of visual arts. There will be workshops for children so that they can learn to appreciate their heritage with pride. Local talent will take centre stage, though it will not be entirely introspective. We will have the best of international talent as well. We will welcome our visitors knowing that we can learn from them and that they will learn from us. This will be a lively and inclusive festival for the whole family. I wish the Fermanagh Live Festival the very best of luck and I encourage everyone to support and publicise this unique festival.
