:06:32. > :06:35.spectaculars are planned. The Return of Colm Cille is an epic-
:06:35. > :06:40.scale event which imagines the battle that led to his exile in
:06:40. > :06:43.Scotland and his triumphant return. Created by author, Frank Cottrell-

:07:10. > :07:16.is going on tour for the first time. And Elvis Costello and Status Quo

:07:22. > :07:25.Music City! On 21st June. Hundreds of music performances will take
:07:25. > :07:32.place in venues such as churches, offices, streets and even the sky
:07:32. > :07:35.where hot air balloons will pump out a score from above. Also, in a
:07:35. > :07:45.mass-gathering, all the choirs of Derry will come together to perform
:07:45. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :07:55.Danny Boy, in celebration of the Core that is Danny Reed to June.
:07:55. > :08:00.Declan, does it work for you? -- January to June. They are is a huge
:08:00. > :08:05.variety of activity going on. wide ranging. There is a focus I am
:08:05. > :08:09.interested on, a strong element in the first six months on the site-
:08:09. > :08:13.specific works coming in. Haris Pasovic will be doing a project.
:08:13. > :08:18.Rita Duffy will be working in the shirt factory and looking at the
:08:18. > :08:25.issue of women's work in relation to the garment industry. I think
:08:25. > :08:31.even the Israeli Dance Company, as a visual medium, that will be
:08:31. > :08:35.customised to the context in Derry. I'm glad to see the dimension and
:08:35. > :08:41.diversity. It is one of the aspects and features of the city, the
:08:41. > :08:46.visual culture the city is known for. Jennifer's, does the
:08:46. > :08:50.literature stand out for you? of the things that pleased me most
:08:50. > :08:58.was to see that Roddy Doyle was coming to talk to children. That is
:08:58. > :09:01.wonderful. He's just eliminating. And they adore him. -- illuminating.
:09:01. > :09:05.He will awaken a lot of imaginations, and that will go on
:09:05. > :09:10.after the year is over. Those children imaginations will still be
:09:10. > :09:14.working. I think the programme looks pretty eclectic. I think they
:09:14. > :09:19.have achieved a lot in catering for people of different age groups and
:09:19. > :09:23.tastes. They do have a focus on artists that are from here and the
:09:23. > :09:27.work that has been created helped by the site-specific work, but also
:09:27. > :09:33.good international staff from the Republic and from Britain. His the
:09:33. > :09:41.city ready for this? I imagine that is what everybody is wondering. It
:09:41. > :09:45.ought to be. It has had its suffering. It has had its time to
:09:46. > :09:53.recover from the suffering. Perhaps some culture now would be very good.
:09:53. > :09:58.There are have been bumps along the road, Declan. They inevitably will
:09:58. > :10:02.be for a project of this size -- they inevitably will be. It was
:10:02. > :10:06.about inventing the organisational structure, and how to deliver the
:10:06. > :10:11.programme, which is hugely complex, and there is a bureaucratic issue
:10:11. > :10:14.around it as well. But this is the time to get over the bumps. There
:10:15. > :10:18.is a difference between the preparation period and the
:10:18. > :10:23.investment and speculative programming decisions, and then the
:10:23. > :10:28.actual delivery. I think we have to step up the game for the delivery.
:10:28. > :10:31.The still has to be. The tour have to be stepped up through the year.
:10:31. > :10:37.-- it will have to be stepped up through the year. There will have
:10:38. > :10:43.to be a continued organisational investment. You have come up from
:10:43. > :10:46.Dublin today. Is there much chatter? It has been covered in the
:10:46. > :10:50.media in the south and people are aware it is going on, but the most
:10:50. > :10:53.important thing for getting people up to it is the key events that
:10:53. > :10:56.people will make a journey for and then come back for something else.
:10:56. > :11:04.I think a lot of those are happening in the second half, like
:11:04. > :11:09.the Turner Prize. It just remains to be seeded people will come up. -
:11:09. > :11:13.- remains to be seen if people. People actually believe that Derry
:11:13. > :11:20.is 10 minutes' drive from Belfast, so you are in the whole thing,
:11:20. > :11:25.instead of an hour-and-a-half. has been an aspect for decades in
:11:25. > :11:29.terms of Arts Development, in terms of how you develop a profile while
:11:29. > :11:34.living with unrest. We should have the experience to deal with that.
:11:34. > :11:38.Essentially, that is our subject. That is a subject that citizens
:11:38. > :11:42.here know all about. The City of Culture has to be about visitors,
:11:42. > :11:48.attracting visitors. We want a new story to be understood about the
:11:48. > :11:53.city, but it also has to be about the citizens and the context itself.
:11:53. > :11:58.And will have visitors come for years to come? Hopefully not just
:11:58. > :12:01.this one. For the moment, thank you. Derry musician, Eoin O'Callaghan,
:12:01. > :12:03.better known as Best Boy Grip, sings, plays piano, clarinet and
:12:03. > :12:09.guitar and his complex songwriting arrangements have drawn comparisons
:12:09. > :12:11.with Neil Hannon and The Beatles. He's just released his second EP,
:12:11. > :12:21.The Clerk, and tonight, exclusively for The Arts Show performs the
:12:21. > :12:36.
:12:36. > :12:46.# You're in love with him, he's got money.
:12:46. > :12:50.# I ain't got none, but I'm funny. # I won't make you cry in vain.
:12:50. > :12:52.# You're in love with him, he's good looking.
:12:52. > :13:02.# He stands naked as he's cooking white-powdered medicine for his
:13:02. > :13:11.pain. # And I guess I'll take the blame
:13:11. > :13:16.for it. # Never should have left you alone.
:13:16. > :13:21.# He fought 45 men in the war. # And I can't remember the last
:13:21. > :13:31.time I swore. # But I'd fight for you if you'd
:13:31. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.# You're in love with him, I ain't bitter.
:13:53. > :13:58.# He broke angel when he hit her. # He's bad company, that's for sure.
:13:58. > :14:06.# And I guess I'll take the blame for it.
:14:06. > :14:13.# Never should have left you alone. # He'll come home and he'll kick
:14:13. > :14:16.down your door. # He'll abuse you, he calls you his
:14:16. > :14:26.whore. # And I'd mess him up if you'd let
:14:26. > :14:37.
:14:37. > :14:41.# You're in love with him, fact stays with me.
:14:41. > :14:48.# Eats my heart out, stole my empathy.
:14:48. > :14:58.# Earth met fire in the monster and # I guess I'll take the blame for
:14:58. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:17.# Never should have left you alone. # You're in love with him. Oh-oh.
:15:17. > :15:19.
:15:19. > :15:29.# You're in love with him. Oh-oh- oh-oh-oh.
:15:29. > :15:42.
:15:42. > :15:48.Wonderful stuff. And Eoin will be performing again under yet a
:15:48. > :15:50.different guise at the end of the show. Now, there's plenty more
:15:50. > :16:00.happening in the second half of the Inaugural Year of Culture. So let's
:16:00. > :16:01.
:16:01. > :16:04.take a look at our highlights from July to December. July begins with
:16:04. > :16:05.a new music cantata, At Sixes and Sevens, by Mark-Anthony Turnage and

:17:34. > :17:36.The Brian Friel season continues with a production of his first
:17:36. > :17:41.significant play, The Enemy Within, about St Columb's exile, at the
:17:41. > :17:43.Playhouse Theatre. On Home Ground is a three day
:17:43. > :17:49.poetry festival at Laurel Villa in Magherafelt featuring well known
:17:49. > :17:55.poets from Ireland and worldwide. Seamus Heaney is Festival Patron
:17:55. > :17:58.and gives the opening address. October holds one of the year's
:17:58. > :18:00.biggest highlights, the Turner Prize 2013. Held at Ebrington, it

:18:40. > :18:42.Importance of Being Earnest. Based on Oscar Wilde's comedy, the
:18:42. > :18:48.eccentric opera was a huge sensation when first performed in
:18:48. > :18:50.London last year. Unseen, is the largest-ever
:18:50. > :18:51.exhibition of works by acclaimed Derry-born artist, Willie Doherty,
:18:51. > :18:59.featuring significant photographs and video installations from his
:18:59. > :19:01.long career alongside new work. The month of November will launch
:19:01. > :19:11.our first dedicated Dance and Movement festival, created by our
:19:11. > :19:13.only professional dance company, Echo Echo, based in Derry. November
:19:13. > :19:17.also sees the premiere of a new punk musical, Teenage Kicks,
:19:17. > :19:20.written by novelist and screenwriter, Colin Bateman. Set in
:19:20. > :19:30.Derry in the late '70s, it's about teenage lust and love, set to a
:19:30. > :19:32.
:19:32. > :19:34.punk soundtrack. The Playhouse Theatre features
:19:34. > :19:36.Three Monologues, by Jennifer Johnston. Written in response to
:19:36. > :19:45.The Troubles and rarely performed, it's an opportunity for audiences
:19:45. > :19:47.to see some of her lesser-known dramatic work.
:19:47. > :19:49.One of the most visually spectacular events of the year will
:19:49. > :19:50.be the acclaimed Festival of Light, Lumiere, which will feature
:19:50. > :19:53.breathtaking light installations, including wrapping Derry's two
:19:53. > :19:56.Cathedrals in projections from the Book of Kells.
:19:56. > :19:58.And finally, the Year of Culture's Closing Concert sees the Ulster
:19:58. > :20:03.Orchestra perform The Relief of Derry Symphony, by Northern Irish
:20:03. > :20:05.composer, Shaun Davey, at Ebrington. First commissioned in 1989 to
:20:05. > :20:15.commemorate the Siege of Derry, it's guaranteed to be one of the
:20:15. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:28.outstanding performances of Derry- Londonderry 2013.
:20:28. > :20:35.That is the highlights of a busy period. This seems to be a lot more
:20:35. > :20:42.happening in the second part of the year. I think At Sixes and Sevens
:20:42. > :20:48.has great people involved. And then something with a longer play out
:20:48. > :20:55.time. There was a lot of talk about Sam Shepard writing a new play for
:20:55. > :21:00.this year in Derry. It seems to be talked about less and less a row.
:21:00. > :21:07.But that would be great. The theatre audience in Dublin would
:21:07. > :21:13.know his work and would love to see it. And another event is the Turner
:21:13. > :21:19.Prize. People travelled to London for that. The Turner Prize coming
:21:19. > :21:25.to Derry. It is great that it is going to be in the city. It is the

:22:01. > :22:05.England to see it. I think there is enough curiosity about the UK City
:22:06. > :22:10.of Culture happening and then it also the Turner Prize. We know from
:22:10. > :22:15.other places within England were the Turner Prize has been shown,
:22:15. > :22:20.tens of thousands of people travelled to those cities,
:22:20. > :22:24.Gateshead and Liverpool. Combined with curiosity about this place,
:22:24. > :22:32.this context, and the Turner Prize, I believe people will travel.
:22:32. > :22:37.we have the Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann. I think thousands will

:23:33. > :23:37.future. What were the legacy before you? It is what it inspires. The
:23:37. > :23:45.Turner Prize will not come again. People will get excited about that
:23:45. > :23:50.being in their city. Not just aspiring artists but organisers,
:23:50. > :23:56.people who need to support artists. The Brian Friel season it is very
:23:56. > :24:00.exciting. But I do not think there is a prominent theatre company
:24:00. > :24:05.working in Derry at the moment, a contemporary one, so you would hope
:24:05. > :24:10.that that would come in. And what about that journey from Dublin to
:24:10. > :24:15.Derry, will that be shorter? There's not a direct train which is
:24:15. > :24:19.a big problem. You have to go to Belfast and then back to Derry.
:24:19. > :24:25.There are upgrading the line. if you have the inspiration to come
:24:25. > :24:30.to this city then you will do it. would like to think it will fire
:24:30. > :24:40.people's imaginations and they will understand what they have inside
:24:40. > :24:45.themselves. And confidence will give them the energy to start up a
:24:45. > :24:51.theatre company. That is what they really need in this city, a small
:24:51. > :24:56.theatre company. And I know that this is expensive but it still can
:24:56. > :25:01.be done. Well, we could talk all night but unfortunately we have to
:25:01. > :25:03.leave it there. Thank you very much to our guests, Jennifer Johnston,
:25:03. > :25:06.Professor Declan McGonagle and Eithne. We'll be reporting on
