A little help from our friends. 29th April 2014,. Boys and Girls recently added Glenilen Farm to their ever growing list of clients, a humble, low key producer of organic dairy products. They asked us to make a small video to promote their new 4 pack of yogurts, all pumped up on inspiration from the recent Offset festival, I declared “I’LL DIRECT IT! 8221; Sam and myself then had to figure out what was actually achievable with limited time, money and ability.

The Medicine Sessions: THE WILDE & FELLOW SPONGES
http://medicinesessions.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-wilde-fellow-sponges.html
Saturday, 23 November 2013. THE WILDE and FELLOW SPONGES. Enter the skittish woodland mammals that are My Fellow Sponges. All twitchy noses, rambling eyes, sniggery laughter and delight at all things shiny and potentially enrapturous. They exude a comforting warmth fresh from their various nests and usher in such a wave of excitement that the room can barely wait for them to start weaving their worlds. Such worlds!

The Medicine Sessions: ANNETTE BUCKLEY AND THE BAND LOWLEK.
http://medicinesessions.blogspot.com/2014/02/annette-buckley-and-band-lowlek.html
Sunday, 23 February 2014. ANNETTE BUCKLEY AND THE BAND LOWLEK. So it went like this, some awesome gifts, a minor chord and a major lift and from my lips they drew an halleluja… halleluja… halleluja. halleluja. halleluuuuuu,ooohhh,ooohhh,ooohhhh… oooooooooooooooyaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Lowlek had arrived earlier in the evening all hair and youth and banter, with an Irish mammy who had the measure of The Ronald (our house heckler and poster designer) within about twenty seconds, "I'm with the band! You cannot help...

The Medicine Sessions: March 2013
http://medicinesessions.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 March 2013. THE ÁINE DUFFY and THE GRUNTS. So what do we do? How do we create something that just about lays within all the laws, yet still retains some genuine character? What can we do to create a vibe that boosts the preacher and. We create The Medicine Sessions, that's what we do. Holy crapola! But hasn't it been going for a whole year now, without even faltering! When you have performers like we had last week, it really is no wonder that the village comes flocking! Yet again, another ni...

The Medicine Sessions: July 2013
http://medicinesessions.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 July 2013. NOT JUST HOT BUT SCORCHING. Thursday night was sweltering in every aspect of the word. It was, literally. Sweltering, but also, it sweltered with unadulterated talent, overwhelming good fun and floor collapsingly brilliant vibes. and that was just The Medicine Sessions, what followed later only added to the meltyness of mind. (amazing privately shared tunes, laughter and fire breathing). Oh, and there was more dancing, which involved a large amount of the capacity crowd forming a ci...

Lesson 1 By Stuart Wilde and The Bird Men. 1: Turn up before the organisers and set up your own lights for maximum atmosphere. 2: Include at least one (preferably more) obscure piece of kit in you set up, ie: a Trombone, Weissenborn guitar, or a children's megaphone. 3: Have a Reggae bass player with a double storey set of bass bins. 4: Have a drummer called a semi-novelty name like, Wally. 6: Wear a top hat. 16: It is ...

Video for my poem Black and White. I'm still wondering how we can get poetry out there a bit more, and video seems to be the ideal form at the moment. So, with the help of young Jack Barnett, I put together some shots to go with my poem "Black and White", borrowing Satie's "Gymnopedies" piano tune for the background. Video: Timofte Against Bonner poem, celebrating Ireland(s) at Euro 2016. I had the pleasure of reading at the Belfast Book Festival. I'm delighted to see Northern Ireland and the Republic of...

The Medicine Sessions: April 2013
http://medicinesessions.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 April 2013. I recently had a discussion with someone about the lengths you should go to as an organiser to facilitate performers. I had just told them I was going to to pick up a poet from the nearest bus stop 30 minutes away and that a friend of mine had offered to put them up for the night and drop them back the next morning. “Are you mad! 8221; was the response, “nobody would do that for you! Because it would cost them time, effort and petrol money, a bit of food and 6 scoops of coffee?
