also lead a conversation around her artistic prac-


tice during a prior event held on Thursday, 26 Oc- tober from 7pm, during which she will detail her thought process, concepts and mo- tives that fuel her works. The


event


will also include a screening of David Shaw-Smith’s doc- umentary HANDS, which captures tra- ditional rural and urban life in Ireland during the seventies and eighties. Creative

East Ferry Twins Receive Distinctions in First Major Music Exam by ALAN SHEEHAN Two young students


from East Ferry received distinctions in their first major music exams. Caoimhe and Paris


Tierney, 11-year-old twins from East Ferry, each re- ceived a distinction in the Grade One exams for their respective instruments, pi- ano and guitar, during this past summer. The


both fifth class students at Scartleigh National


School, each passed with distinction their respective exam from the London College of Music, as ad- ministered by University of West London. Midle- ton’s Betty Moloney, one of the

ago and passed her two Step exams before tack- ling the Grade One exam, while her sister Paris decid- ed to tackle Grade One in acoustic guitar a year be- fore the exam date. Both young ladies were among the buskers present outside Bitesize in Midle- ton at this summer’s Mid- leton Arts Festival. Caoimhe, who has pre- viously played the grand


piano on stage at multiple events, now looks forward to playing as part of a per- formance night for all of Ms Moloney’s students at the Midleton Park Hotel in November. She is also preparing to perform at the upcoming Feis Maitiú in February. Paris, who spent her


birthday money on her first guitar when she turned seven, writes her own music in addition to performing. She was also


one of the five lucky young musicians chosen to par- ticipate in the songwriting workshop with well-known Cork singer-songwriter Nicole


Maguire at this


year’s Midleton Arts Fes- tival. The only advice Ms Maguire, who is also the music tutor at


the East


Cork Music Project, saw fit to offer Parish on her song Galloping Through the Field was a slight ad- justment to the rhyming scheme.
