Broadcaster Leagues O’Toole brings new music and film project to Letterkenny

The Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny has teamed up with well-known broadcaster and music promoter Leagues O’Toole for a new project.

The new Dream Baby Dream project is bringing together several top filmmakers and musicians from around Ireland to collaborate with each other.

The centre has commissioned the Dublin-born journalist and former host of RTÉ’s No Disco to curate the project which is supported by The Arts Council.
The Letterkenny centre will host two concerts and three short film premieres on March 3 and 4.
The weekend will begin with Donegal/Carlow duo, Lemoncello, who make a welcome return to the Regional Cultural Centre (RCC), plus Dublin singer Rachael Lavelle, on Friday, March 3 at 8pm.
Comprised of university friends Laura Quirke and Claire Kinsella, Limoncello are amongst the brightest lights of contemporary Irish music.
Rachael Lavelle is a Dublin-born singer and composer who captivates audiences with her arresting voice and humorous observations on existence.

The film Dream Baby Dream premieres on Saturday, March 4 featuring new works by Bob Gallagher, Charlie Joe Doherty and Laura Quirke.
Letterkenny native Charlie Joe Doherty is a highly-regarded filmmaker and photographer who has worked with chart-topping acts such as The Murder Capital.
Making her second appearance over the weekend, Laura Quirke of Lemoncello is now also expressing her talents through film.
The project will come to a close with a performance featuring Katie Kim and Elaine Howley at 9pm.
Katie Kim’s newest album, Hour Of The Ox, was released last September to critical acclaim. She brings her full band to Donegal for what promises to be atmospheric and beautiful.
Cork-based Elaine Howley plays her first Donegal show since the release of her acclaimed The Distance Between Heart and Mouth album last year.
Acting director of the RCC, Jeremy Howard said the idea was to commission interesting contemporary musicians to collaborate with exciting upcoming filmmakers.
