I am delighted to be selected as IMC Artist-in-Residence at the Source Arts centre, Thurles.
The IMC Music Residency, in collaboration with arts centres around the country, offers artists professionally remunerated time and space to develop and perform work with a deep sense of space, informed by community involvement.
Set in the heart of Thurles town and on the banks of the River Suir, The Source Arts Centre has a year-round programme of cultural events including theatre, live music, comedy, dance, art-house cinema, children’s theatre, youth arts, and ballet. The Source shares a building with Thurles Library. The Source Gallery is a shared space programmed year-round by both The Source Arts Centre and Thurles Library.
Director Brendan Maher says: “The Source Arts Centre is delighted to welcome jazz musician Hugh Buckley to Thurles to take part in this residency in association with the Improvised Music Company. In what is a strong region for music, we look to support the local musicians involved in creating new opportunities for them to develop and enhance their craft and widening the scope and interest in the guitar.”
