It was October 2019, a long-ago place where we took gigs for granted and Covid-19 meant nothing. The annual Hard Working Class Heroes festival showcasing the best of emerging Irish talent had been renamed Ireland Music Week and among those hoping to get noticed was Dublin singer-songwriter Aaron Smyth.
One of the shows he played was at the Workman’s Club, and Andrea Madden was among the industry attendees. Smyth wasn’t to know it at the time, but she was music supervisor for
Made in Chelsea and on the lookout for new songs to use in the hit TV show
Running from
3-14 March 2021, the Festival continues to bring the best of Irish film to audiences amongst its impressive programme of worldwide eclectic cinema.
The Irish selection includes Rachel Carey’s dark comedy
Deadly Cuts as this year’s Virgin Media Closing Gala; Cathal Nally’s gangster comedy
Be Good or Be Gone, Ivan Kavanagh’s
Son; Tadgh O’Sullivan’s acclaimed
To the Moon, Piotr Domalewski’s moving exploration of the Polish/Irish experience
I Never Cry, and comedy horror
The Boys from County Hell from Chris Baugh.

The Father of the Cyborgs, which examines the ethical quandaries of self-experimentation and a future where technology and human brains combine. Plus Sixty Trinity College students from fourteen countries chronicle their forever changed world in Covid 19 lockdown
Since my first film, Hunger, I have formed many special bonds with my Irish collaborators, said McQueen. I look forward to talking to Mark about storytelling, and to a virtual visit with my friends in Ireland.
