LA UNIVERSIDAD POPULAR SANSE

 Monnet, one of the founders of the European Union, was asked if, on looking back, there was anything he would change. His reply was .'Yes. I would begin with culture.'

In San Sebastián De Los Reyes La Universidad Popular did just that. They began with culture.

Last week our UNIVERSIDAD POPULAR paid tribute to one of its founders.

Thanks to people like Pepe and Pablo we have access to the best culture for free. A case in point are  the concerts at Los Viernes De La Tradición which are held on Fridays at 19h .

 DÜO KRUPOVES LOZANO brought us music and ballads from Eastern and Western Europe, from Ukraine to Cataluña, sung in Spanish, Polish, Breton, Catalán, Russian, French, Bosnian. Beautiful voices accompanied by a spell binding guitar and a wonderful chance to see and hear the incredible hurdy gurdy.

Our association has a space in La Universidad Popular too where we share books and thoughts.

You can find us at 18  Av Baunatal, Wednesdays18:30h.

Metro Madrid celebrates with Ireland

Metro Madrid  is joining in the international celebrations of St Patrick's Day by adding the name of San Patricio to one of its stations.

San Bernardo will be San Patricio for a few days, even coloring the emblematic metro logo to green.

Here is the programme of this lively celebration of cultural awareness.

An Irish Goodbye

 An Irish Goodbye director Ross White described James Martin as the beating heart of the film on receiving the Oscar for the best live action short film and said that he would love to use the rest of the time of his acceptance speech to sing to James. And so the biggest stars in Hollywood happily sang Happy Birthday to James who turned 31 that same day March 12th 2023. Dreams really do come true.

It was a great moment for Northern Ireland's burgeoning film and television industry and for Templepatrick, Saintfield and The Sperrins (lovely names) where An Irish Goodbye was filmed highlighting the beauty of its landscape and the talent of its people. Artists are leading  the way to a brighter future for beautiful Northern Ireland.
