Veronica is in Wales at the moment, studying Welsh on an intensive four week course in Aberystwyth. She managed a day off to see some of us, and Pamela came over especially from Ireland to join in. (Our thanks to Andrew for his hospitality). We had a really good session together over several cups of tea, chocolate biscuits and bara brith.
Although things have been rather quiet with Le Chéile over the last few months in the Northern hemisphere, our Australian exhibition is touring the State of South Australia, and has attracted considerable attention. Veronica has worked incredibly hard, and deserves our thanks and several medals. (I hope she will post on the blog if she gets the time). It was great to hear her account of the Celtica festival, which is going from strength to strength – and it was fascinating to hear about her residency at Grindells Hut http://www.portaugusta.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=935
Pamela has recruited two more Irish artists, and has hopes of some more; Veronica will be head-hunting in Australia; Nant Gwtheyrn is on the horizon; the Anglesey gallery Oriel Môn is interested in showing the work in 2013. Pamela is planning on setting up a group website to facilitate future applications for exhibitions etc.
Le Chéile certainly has “legs”, and looks as though it will run for a good while yet.
