They do fantastic work. I know a couple of the tutors, both in Cork and in the Limerick equivalent, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more dedicated group of people.
Fantastic safe creative space for like minded-people to get together and express themselves. When it comes together like it did for The Spark / Becky Hill and for Rock The Block over the weekend, it's just brilliant for all of them. Garry McCarthy is one of the nicest human beings you could ever meet and will always fade into the background whilst the Crew take centre stage. The tutors there are absolutely brilliant as well. Kudos all round.
Have me ticket already Jim. Some people very close to me will be performing that night. It should be fantastic. They get to showcase their talent with the backing of a full orchestra. Brilliant stuff.
not since deep purple performed jon lord's 'concerto for group and orchestra' at the royal albert hall in 1969 has there been such an unholy alliance of popular and high culture
