Following highly successful shows at Galway Theatre Festival, 2016 and Shorelines Arts Festival, Portumna last year, TURF returns to Co. Galway this Autumn.
Produced by Ballinasloe born Michelle Cahill (McCullagh) in association with Rowan Tolley Company, TURF is a captivating, imaginative and original one-man show.
 
“I’m delighted this show will reach more people in Galway. It’s a wonderful performance and a production I’m very proud of. I’m especially excited about taking the show to Ballygar Theatre + Arts Centre, a venue revived through hard work and dedicated local artsits, doing their best to bring high quality theatre and arts to a rural community.”
 
TURF tells the short of one day, one man, one bog. Performed by Frank Farrell, directed by Rowan Tolley, TURF takes an audience on a visual and emotional journey, where the narrative resonates with echoes of tradition and reality. Situated somewhere deep within the Irish soul, it tells the story of one life but many selves. TURF searches for the truth in a hidden landscape. Sculpture, Installation, Performance, it explores not how to hold the TURF but how the TURF takes a hold of you. 
 
"At the mercy of nature, the block waits to cut, to spread, to foot, when it moves it lives."
 
Friday 16th November, The Mall Theatre, Tuam 8pm.
Tickets €12 Book through Quinn’s Newsagent T. 093 26060

GROW Promotes Positive Mental Health in Ballinasloe

11/9/2018

GROW is Ireland’s largest community mental health support network and has been helping people on the road to mental health recovery in Ballinasloe since 1984.
 
There are many reasons why people seek mental health support from GROW. Among these are loneliness, depression, isolation and anxiety. GROW’s weekly peer-support meeting is free to attend and takes place at 6pm each Tuesday in Ballinasloe Library, Society Street.
 
“GROW weekly meetings are a vital mental health support,” says Noreen Kenny, a Ballinasloe native and retired psychiatric nurse who is a member of GROW’s regional committee.
 
Her views are echoed by GROW member, Colm.
 
“Who doesn’t encounter obstacles and want a more wholesome life? A GROW meeting is a place where all people are equally qualified – ordinary people supporting each other to better understand and interact with the struggles of everyday living,” he highlights.
 
“Readjusting to life needs to occur in small incremental steps. GROW peer support makes this journey back towards recovery a bit easier through weekly support and encouragement,” adds Barry, a GROW member in Ballinasloe.
