	Dublin City Soul Festival Information	May 27, 2010 - May 30, 2010
Their mission, they say: "Soul ain’t nothing but a feeling so why not come out and celebrate with us, let the music capture your heart, the fine food fill your tummy and the laughter soothe your soul!"

	Highly RecommendedJulie Feeney & The Pages OrchestraNational Concert Hall, Dublin @ 20:00 Experimental • Information	May 29, 2010 €20 - €35
Julie Feeney's artful chamber pop is surely one of the freshest sounds in Irish music, with its delicate palate of strings, muted brass and woodwinds that provide the background colours for one of Ireland's most original performers and songwriters. This particular Galway girl has the wind at her back, bolstered by unanimous acclaim for Pages, the new CD which looks set to eclipse her debut 13 Songs which garnered a Choice Music Prize. It marks a quantum step in her evolution, especially as composer, and she is pushing on for musical terrain that seems destined for the orchestral settings of this National Concert Hall debut. It's a perfect foil to the songwriting, full of wry observation, quirky humour and wordplay, and there's an assuredness to her theatrical delivery that beckons to other creative avenues too. The voice, needless to say, is as good as ever, evidence that those five years in the National Chamber Choir were in good stead, just one fork on her musical road less travelled that is now bringing her to somewhere very original.

	RecommendedD.I.M.Button Factory, Dublin @ 23:00 DJ • Information	May 29, 2010 €10 - €12
Known as Andreas Meid to his mother, D.I.M. began making music little over five years ago yet has been steadily gaining support from the usual suspects; Erol Alkan, Tiga & Felix Da Housecat all heavily pushed his collaboration with TAL, 'Lyposuc' to make it a huge track in 2009. As a founder member of Boysnoize Records he has released a plethora of worldwide floor fillers such as ‘Is You’, 'Airbus' and 'Sysiphos'. As well as 'Don't Go' produced with Boys Noize under the name 'Puzique' His remixography is highly impressive. Taking the scalpel to acts Diplo, The Presets, Chromeo, A.C Slater & Project Basslne as well as providing a more dancefloor friendly take on popier tracks from Florence & The Machine, La Roux & Lady Sovereign. He's also remixed our very own Jape's anthem 'Floating'.

	RecommendedThe Shawshank RedemptionGaiety Theatre, Dublin @ 19:30 Theatre • Information	May 29, 2010 €25 - €55

	A Landscape of Unknown FactsProject Arts Centre, Dublin @ 11:00 Exhibition • Information	May 29, 2010 Free Event
A newly commissioned solo exhibition that explores the complex and historical world of spectatorship. Adopting the early special effects technique of matte painting, Sander uses and quotes the visual intricacies associated with illusion, while critically examining the personal motivation of consumers who participate in spectator industries. Tourism, audiences, the traveller and the curious are all characters who take time out of everyday life and pay to see things. The gallery will be transformed into a single, circular screen, providing a constantly changing and looping landscape. Sander contrasts the simplicity of matte painting with the complexity of the current economic unknowns that form the background to many of our lives.

	BorderlandMill Theatre, Dublin Art • Information	May 29, 2010 Free Event
Drawings and paintings from Ukraine. Ukraine defines itself by opposition to its bordering states. It is not Russia, not Poland, not Tatar… It views its Soviet past as another country, yet the past is omnipresent: the border is porous. To the outsider Ukraine is also a fantastically beautiful space where the borders between the structures of civilisation – houses, tower blocks, railways – are constantly being assailed by nature. Everywhere there is green.

	Bookworms by Bernard FarrellAbbey Theatre, Dublin @ 14:00 Theatre • Information	May 29, 2010 €25 - €38
Skeletons leap from suburban closets in Bookworms, Bernard Farrell’s hilarious and razor-sharp vision of a household savaged by the Celtic Tiger. ‘….and Larry, let’s try to show everybody that, recession or no recession, we are contented, confident and happy – and that this evening is going to be fun!” This month’s Book Club hostess Ann is struggling to stay calm, desperate to deliver the perfect evening of literary classics and late-night canapés. But when the all-female group invite their husbands to join the club, and a mysterious figure pays a visit from an upstairs room, everyone is forced to contend with a lot more than just Virginia Woolf. Opinions are challenged, suspicions aroused and tempers flare as their daily lives unravel into a saga to rival even the most outrageous fiction. Director Jim Culleton brings to life this hugely entertaining new play by the popular and celebrated playwright Bernard Farrell (I Do Not Like Thee Doctor Fell, Canaries, Lovers At Versailles) in an evening of wine and cheese, mystery and mayhem. An Abbey Theatre commission.
