Rap For Beginners
Nerve Centre 1.00pm
Rap has evolved over recent years from a New York City underground phenomenon
to international dominance with enormous influence on the current music
scene. Today as a whole, rap music outsells country and rock music, with
growth levels unheard of in the recording industry.
Rap artists such as Eminem, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Nelly, have entered
the mainstream, becoming household names. As rap music grows in popularity,
the technology that produces it becomes more sophisticated, progressing
from the early methods and styles of rapping to today’s music created
using cutting edge computer software.
This workshop will give participants the opportunity to compose their
own piece of rap music using the latest computer technology.

L'Homme du Train - Irish Premiere
Strand Multiplex 9.00pm
This changing-places comedy drama manages to be
both quirky and moving. Milan arrives by train to a small French town
planning to rob a bank. He meets retired school teacher Manesquier who
gloomily lives alone. He invites Milan to stay with him and the pair develop
a firm friendship, whilst they both await life changing events;
Manesquier is waiting to undergo a triple bypass operation on the same
day as Milan will hold up the local bank. They both have a gentle envy
of each other; Manesquier dreams of being the stranger strolling into
town with the gun, whilst hard man Milan’s secret wish is to sit
in front of the fireside in slippers, smoking a pipe and reading poetry.
