Black Daisy are an all girl pop/rock band who are based in Dublin, Ireland. Lesley-Ann from Limerick, is singer and bassist, Nicki Billings, from Wicklow is on guitar, while Asta Mileriene, originally from Alytus, Lithuania is the drummer. Asta started playing drums in a band called AIRIJA (Ireland in Lithuanian). In 2001 she moved to Ireland and continued her music career with NOJUS, a Lithuanian band based in Dublin, and shortly after, Asta and Black Daisy's paths crossed!
Black Daisy are a fun loving upbeat band, with influences ranging from 80s music to pop/chart/dance music and of course good old Rock'n'Roll! The girls write their own songs and gig regularly in venues to audiences everywhere!!
Black Daisy are Ireland’s only high profile all girl rock band, and intend to continue to play their infectiously catchy music all around the world....starting of course right here!! The girls were delighted and honored to team up with Sinead Mulvey to represent their country in this years Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. The girls promised to make Ireland proud....which they certainly did! With world domination in their sights, this is just the beginning for Black Daisy...

Walnuts remind me of my mother
Rehearsed Reading of 'Walnuts remind me of my mother' by Elizabeth Moynihan
The play is the darkly comic tale of Rua, a young lesbian from the small village of Spit where “everyone knows everyone”. After spending most of her young life desperately trying to win her Mother's respect and understanding, Rua is finally forced to leave her hostile community and her family behind. Hitting the 90's London club and drug scene, and a not so Gay Paris, Rua begins her search for the life she craves.
Elizabeth Moynihan trained under Deirdre O’Connell at Focus Theatre Stanislavsky Studio and at LAMDA as an actor. She has worked in Ireland and the U.K as an actor for the last 17 years. Seven years ago she began writing her first play on a twelve month tour of ‘The Chastitute’, around Ireland.
She made her debut as a playwright when Tic was produced by Tall Tales Theatre Company. Her plays Cider Queens and Cider Queens two, were broadcast on RTE radio, April 2009. She is associate writer for Blood in the Alley theatre company, who commissioned a series of workshops of her play ‘In the Absence of Snow’ which has just had a performance in the Focus theatre festival at the Mill theatre Dundrum. The critically acclaimed ‘Walnuts remind me of my mother’, sold out the first week of the Absolute International Gay Theatre festival 2009. She is currently working on a series of short stories entitled: Junkies, Lushes and Trannies and her new play ‘Pinching for my Soul’ will be produced in autumn 2010. Elizabeth was recently commissioned by the Abbey theatre for inclusion in their short play season 2010.
Directed by Myles Breen, and with a talented cast including Tracy Aspel, Ann Blake, Karen Fitzgibbon, Stephanie O Keefe and Norma Lowney, this event promises to be funny and thought provoking..
Venue: CentreSPACE Studios, Alphonsus St. (beside Dolans)
Dates: Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th, September 2009 at 8pm
Admission: €10

Pride At The Movies
All Men Are Created Equal. No Matter How Hard You Try, You Can Never Erase Those Words
Upon moving to San Francisco from New York City in 1972, forty year old Harvey Milk gains focus in his life as a gay activist in the city's Castro district. Gay rights activism turns to political activism as Milk decides he can be a more effective voice for the gay community as a politician, elected or not. Through several elections and losses both for a city seat and a state assembly seat, Milk becomes the first openly gay man in the United States to be elected to political office when he wins a San Francisco supervisor seat in 1977. His many political battlefronts include one with the national anti-gay Save the Children crusade, led and fronted by singer Anita Bryant. Closer to home, Milk has a continuing struggle with his fellow supervisor, Dan White, a staunch social conservative.
