Wexford poets, writers and musicians invite audience to ‘enjoy the special power of the spoken word' for charity
Directed by Paul Walsh, The Heart Speaks promises a night of music and poetry for a great cause with performers including Alannah, Margaret Galvin, John Cooney, Ronán P. Berry, Conor Lyons, A.M. Cousins and Paul Hennessy.
"The magic of poetry is that it touches all our lives,' Álanna says. 'It can inspire, challenge, even heal and sometimes change the way we see the world.
'Good poems shine a light on what is so often passed over in our daily lives- the ordinary miracles, the unexpected learnings, those rare moments of emotional clarity we know we will always remember. They ambush us with words of awe, dread, wonder, sorrow and joy and invite us to step out of our comfort zones and into a world of deeper insight and new possibilities.'
The Purple and Gold Collective are inviting people to take that step outside of their comfort zones on July 4, with all funds raised going directly to support It's Good 2 Talk with their work providing counselling and support to those in need.
The event takes place with the support of Wexford County Council's Community Dates Open Call and tickets are priced at €15 from nationaloperahouse.ie.

Wexford dancer set to ‘pursue her dream' at one of UK's most prestigious performing arts colleges
Such is the level of Alannah's talents that, following rigorous auditions in London last year, she was accepted to both Performer's College and Laine Theatre Arts College. She chose the latter to continue her dance training and is excited to get started. Having started out as little more than a toddler, Alannah eventually joined the modern dance class and later progressed to contemporary, acro, tap, commercial, pointe and any other dance class that was available to her. "If there was a class running, you'd find Alannah in it,' said WSBPA Director and Owner Suzanne O'Leary. 'She trained six days a week.' Along the way, Alannah performed on the National Opera House stage multiple times a year with WSBPA productions and many musical and drama societies. She also performed in Disneyland Paris and was a regular dancer at the Perform Festival in the RDS in Dublin. Eventually, she was accepted to the Morea Associate Dance Programme and travelled to Dublin to dance with them regularly. While with WSBPA, Alannah took all her exams in ballet and modern dance, up to and including her vocational level examinations, receiving a distinction in her Intermediate. 'As all her teachers will agree, Alannah's passion for dance is second to none, as is her superb talent,' Suzanne says proudly. 'She leaves Wexford on September 5 to pursue her dream and will be sadly missed by all her fellow dancers and teachers at WSBPA, who wish her all the love and best wishes for the future.'

Something for the Weekend: Alannah Thornburgh's cultural picks
Alannah Thornburgh is an award-winning instrumentalist and composer from the west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah's music explores her family heritage, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. Alannah was awarded 'Best Folk Instrumentalist' at the 2025 RTÉ Folk Awards and she is the current Musician-In-Residence at Carnegie Library, Fingal County Council/Music is also a founding member of Alfi, a trio who combine traditional Irish and Appalachian music and song. In February 2025, Alannah released her acclaimed debut album Shapeshifter; this September, she performs as part of Tradition Now in the National Concert Hall We asked Alannah for her choice cultural picks... MUSIC I have been incessantly listening to Poor Creature's album All Smiles Tonight since its release at the start of July. I think Ruth Clinton (Poor Creature, Landless) is a genius (which she displays very impressively across many art forms!) Another album that I have on repeat is Double You - a collaborative album by two instrumental virtuosos Aoife Ní Bhriain & Catrin Finch. FILM My go-to films are anything silly and light-hearted (Bullet Train and Detective Pikachu are coming to mind as I write this). I have a curiosity for thrillers and horror films (especially from a soundtrack/soundscape point of view) but truthfully I am too much of a wimp to watch either genre (the twist at the end of Fight Club was so intense for me that I fainted!) BOOK I really enjoyed Donal Ryan's collection of short stories A Slanting of the Sun. I absolutely adore Eithne Massey's The Turning of the Year: Lore and Legends of the Irish Seasons, a book that I return to often for inspiration. Manchán Magan recently announced that he will be releasing a new book in September Ninety-Nine Words for Rain (and One for Sun) which I will definitely be pre-ordering (his book Wolf-Men and Water Hounds is another favourite of mine). PLAY I saw Louise O'Neill's masterpiece Asking for It in the Gaiety Theatre a number of years ago - a truly harrowing but moving piece of work. I was fortunate enough to compose and perform some music for the RTÉ radio play Clarity at Last written by the immensely talented Charlie McGuinness (due for broadcast in late 2025, I believe). TV I was hooked on Severance this year, both from a storyline and musical point of view (the use of a theremin in Season 2 was just perfect). I am also a big fan of The Bear, and I have been meaning to rewatch Desperate Housewives since becoming obsessed with Kyle MacLachlan's Instagram content. GIG I have been very lucky to see Fionn Regan perform live twice already this year (in The Ambassador Theatre and at Night & Day Festival). I will be heading to All Together Now in a couple of weeks and I am ecstatic about seeing Fontaines DC, CMAT, Wet Leg and Bricknasty live. ART My favourite artist is Conor Campbell, the Limerick-born colour-blind artist whose work is so intricately beautiful and unique. Conor painted the artwork for my album Shapeshifter, and I am looking forward to celebrating his work at Tradition Now in the National Concert Hall on Thursday 25th September (alongside Diarmuid Mac Gloinn, Gareth Quinn Redmond and Junior Brother). TECH My partner Alex is developing a memory retention app as part of his Masters in Design Innovation and I have been a (hopefully supportive) guinea pig during the testing process! THE NEXT BIG THING... Shamrock Showband! The lads (Conor McAuley & Jamie Bishop) are two great friends of mine and have recently released their debut (self-titled) album. Check them out!

Wexford poets, writers and musicians invite audience to ‘enjoy the special power of the spoken word' for charity
Sometimes, this beauty can be something we can lose sight of. Sometimes, our vision is impaired. It's perhaps fitting then that the collective are taking to the stage on July 4 with a special fundraiser in aid of local mental health charity It's Good 2 Talk. Directed by Paul Walsh, The Heart Speaks promises a night of music and poetry for a great cause with performers including Alannah, Margaret Galvin, John Cooney, Ronán P. Berry, Conor Lyons, A.M.
