Get Creative!
If anyone wants to get creative on Saturday 12th November before what promises to be the FUNKIEST Saturday night out in Sligo, Adam (the guy in the red dress!!) will be at The Adelaide bar, Wine Street carpark, Sligo from 2.00pm onwards.

We are going to make Papel Picado decorations for the Mexican Day of The Dead Festival.

If you'd like to come along and have a go, bring some sharp scissors if you have them, we have plenty of newsprint paper to be cut. We will make decorations for the festival party and an altar honouring the dead with humour and reverence.

You could bring images of people you have admired, respected, loved.

You could bring mementos, tokens, bread, rice, sweets, drink, candles, incense, flowers, messages. Whatever is appropriate to offer to honour the dead.

We will create a place for them.

CHRIS LYNAM COMES TO SLIGO!!

It is a show that dreams are made of, a dream that shows are made of, a fight between the birds and bees to prove that man is not man at all, but a little part of a little,tiny,baby,baby................thing!

Chris Lynam is renowned for many things, but mainly for bringing his brand of crazed humour to bear on unsuspecting audiences.His comedy is both dangerous and exciting, stretching variety to its limits.

Any one show may include pyrotechnics, acrobatics, outlandish operatic and orchestral overtures, a sousaphone with a mind of it's own and anything else which may spring to Mr Lynam's unnecessarily large and vivid imagination.

What happens when you wake up and find that you will never wake up again, that everything you make up is down, and everything you make down is up?

That piece of toast you had for breakfast is really a piece of beach in the Caribbean,your wife is a fruitcake and your children are raspberries.

In amongst all this confusion it becomes apparent that something very important is missing from the backbone of man's existence...., and in order to restore world peace (of cake) Professor Shputdonk must find the missing........

"Chris Lynam is a brilliantly bizarre antidote to today's truculent society" New York Times.

"mahout of the bizarre buffoon extraordinaire to wit" The Times.

"Surreal unhinged quality which makes for comic greatness" The Guardian.
