Unique new events announced for local Tipperary arts centre

The Source Arts Centre, Thurles, is hosting a workshop by electronic group Meltybrains to impart learners with a basic understanding of how they can use computer programmes to make music from scratch and give more advanced musicians a way to expand upon their knowledge of electronic music and apply it to various settings.

By the end of the workshop, the organisers are hoping each learner would have the confidence and ability to open a Digital Audio Workstation for their own use.

Also coming to the Source Arts Centre over the coming weeks is Irish singer/songwriter Eleanor McEvoy for a very special concert.

After captivating audiences across the UK, Australia, Germany, and beyond in 2024, Eleanor McEvoy returns to Ireland for a much-anticipated tour that promises a spellbinding evening of music, storytelling, and raw emotion in 2025.

McEvoy, one of Ireland’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, steps onto the stage bathed in a solitary glow, surrounded by her electric and acoustic guitars, violin, piano, and a small amp.

With an intimate, almost theatrical presence, she takes audiences on a journey through her acclaimed catalogue, songs of love, loss, resilience, and hope.

The creator of 'A Woman’s Heart', Ireland’s most beloved folk anthem, McEvoy continues to mesmerize fans with her powerful lyrics and soaring melodies.

From heartfelt ballads like 'Sophie', a song that has touched thousands struggling with anorexia, to the evocative storytelling of 'South Anne Street', she brings a deep emotional honesty to every performance.

Whether reinterpreting classics or unveiling new material, she effortlessly bridges the personal and universal, making every performance feel like an intimate conversation.

The show takes place on Saturday, October 18, at 8pm.

Tickets cost €28.
