Artist statement: I wish to establish myself as a unique designer of semi-precious jewellery, which has been handcrafted in Ireland, but has been influenced by by living and working Italy for 7 yers. I travelled to many parts of the world looking for inspiration and materials and I was thought by an Italian craft worker. In Rome, art and sculpture are everywhere and this environment helped to create my unique designs, inspiring colour, choice of material and shapes.

Gerard Treacy, Waterford Artisan

 

Gerard Treacy, Master Glass Blower

 

Gerard began his career with Waterford Crystal as an apprentice glass blower in 1979, aged 15. Within a year he moved on to ball glass blower. The skill of the Master Glass Blower combines tremendous dexterity and coordination of hands, breath and strength, especially with the larger items. In 1984, Gerard qualified as a glass blower and, three years later, became a Master Glass Blower. In a 32-year career at Waterford Crystal, he has worked on the entire range of Waterford crystal pieces, which include vases, wine glasses and champagne flutes.

 

“I am a second-generation Waterford artisan,” said Treacy, who grew up a 10-minute walk from the Waterford, Ireland, crystal factory. “My father was a master crystal cutter for 45 years…The company built the houses on my street, so all of my friends and I worked at the factory when we were old enough,”

 

In December 2011, Gerard Treacy will add his signature to the limited edition Ambassador bowls at the Waterford Wedgwood store at Silver Sands.

Artist statement: My personal objectives as a craftsperson/artist are, to produce the highest possible quality pieces whether contemporary or traditional. To learn from our inheritance of traditional basket making and to promote an appreciation of those skills by keeping the craft relevant while weaving the traditional into contemporary art pieces, also to pass on the skills to a new generation through teaching workshops. As my long term goal is to support my living solely through my art, I have a need to secure a suitable long term studio/workshop space. At present this is proving problematic, with exorbitant rents and inadequate space. I intend to further my traditional basket-making skills by attending workshops with master basket makers in Ireland and Europe. Finally as an intuitive artist, I would dearly love to have the opportunity to work with the internationally recognised artist Patrick Dougherty, who is known for large-scale sapling sculpture in urban settings in both Europe and America. I find the form and movement of his installations

Philip Treacy, b. 26 May 1967 Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, son of the late James Vincent Treacy and Katie Agnes Treacy. His parents owned a baker’s shop in Ahascragh, Co. Galway.

 

Philip began studying fashion in Dublin at the National College of Art & Design in 1985. He was more interested in making the hat than the outfit. This coincided with him winning, in 1988, a place on the Royal College of Art’s MA course. At the time the RCA was planning to establish a hat course and his arrival confirmed that they were right to do so. A star pupil from the outset, he soon gained the attention of the late great style icon, Isabella Blow. Their meeting was subsequently to become the subject of an exhibition at the Design Museum, ‘When Philip Met Isabella’. He graduated in 1990 and set up his own business in the basement of Isabella and her husband Detmar Blow’s home.

 

Philip won the British Accessory Designer of the Year ‘Oscar’ in 1991, 1992 and 1993, and then again in 1996 and 1997. Irish Fashion Oscar 1992. Haut Couture Paris 2000.

 

He has designed hats for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Valentino, Versace, Pucci, Alexander McQueen and most recently Ralph Lauren. In 2000, he made millinery history by staging his ‘Orchid’ collection of haute couture hats in Paris.

Philip heads an international company which sells accessories all over the world. His design oeuvre has expanded to include handbags, gloves, a chair for Habitat and a sportswear line for Umbro.

 

He has just completed the interiors for the G Hotel in Galway, west of Ireland and will soon begin work on the interior design of a new hotel in London’s Bow Street.

 

On the 19th of November 2007, at 40 years of age, he was awarded an honorary OBE for services to the British fashion industry by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at a ceremony in Clarence House. The Duchess is one of his most loyal customers and she wore one of his creations a metallic feathered ‘head-dress’ for her wedding in 2005.

Sean Treacy (1924-1986) was born in 1924 in Galway City, where his father had a small business and his mother was a head teacher. He completed his education at St Jarlath’s College, much against his will. He joined the Irish Army Corps at the age of eighteen, becoming a pilot. But after five years of flying he decided to become a publican in England. His first job was a learner- barman at the Goldhawk, Shepherd’s Bush. Within a year he was managing Finch’s King’s Arms in the Fulham Road, Chelsea. He stayed there for eight years before taking the tenancy of the Queen’s Elm, further up the Fulham Road. The Queen’s Elm was patronised by many famous people in the arts in the 60’s and 70’s. His first book, A Smell of Broken Glass, was published in 1973, followed by Shay Scally and Manny Wagstaff, in 1976.

 

For generations one of London’s most famous watering holes was The Queen’s Elm on Fulham Road, Chelsea. The 20th century pub features in A Smell of Broken Glass, the 1973 memoir of its Galway-born landlord Sean Treacy - Laurie Lee kindly thought up the title. In Treacy’s day the walls were covered with original JAK cartoons and his collection of antique pipes. When Treacy died in 1986 the pub closed.

Anne Marie Treacy

Anne-Marie Treacy, Lecturer in Music RWD B06, Music Department, University of Wolverhampton, Gorway Road, Walsall WS1 3BD, England. a.treacy@wlv.ac.uk

Born into a musical family in Waterford, Ireland, I experienced an eclectic range of music during my formative years having attended everything from Waterford’s annual festival of Light Opera to “Spraoi”, a celebration of street music and art as well as traditional sessions of Irish music in pubs throughout Ireland. Along the way I also developed a keen interest in history. Currently I am working on French and English music c.1300-c.1450 analysing compositional style in the Old Hall Manuscript, Ms. Ivrea, and the Apt manuscript. I am also exploring issues of patronage and political commentary in the early poetry (pre- Canterbury Tales) of Geoffrey Chaucer and the music and poetry of Guillaume de Machaut including Le Remede de Fortune, and Le Jugement de Roi de Behaingne. Other interests include performance aspects of Medieval English Drama and I have worked specifically on the function of music in York 45: The Assumption of the Virgin. In addition, I have produced medieval plays for The Granary Theatre, University College Cork, including Fulgens and Lucres and Adam de la Halle’s Jeu de Robin et Marion. In addition, I am director of the University of Wolverhampton’s Early Music Ensemble, Réaltanna, which performs a repertoire of both instrumental and vocal music from the medieval and renaissance periods. Increasingly Réaltanna are also extending their repertoire to include both traditional Irish folktunes and compositions by contemporary Irish composers such as Michael McGlynn and Shaun Davey

The pride of Ballintubber, Co. Roscommon, The Premier Aces started their careers known as The Pioneers Aces as none of the band drank alcohol and all were members of The Total Abstinence Society. The band was put together, in part, by the late Peter Shanagher, who had been the leader of the Ivy Caste Dance Band, also based in Ballintubber. However, Peter emigrated to England in 1956 before the band hit the road and handed over the reins to Stephen Treacy and Paddy Malone. The original line up was: Paddy Malone (alto sax), Andy Malone (drums), Sonny Ward (tenor sax), Stephen Treacy (accordion) Liam Treacy (saxophone) and Mickey Slyman (vocals and trombone).

 

 

Around 1960, the Treacy brothers (Stephen and Liam) decided to form their own band, The Rhythm Stars (also from Ballintubber) with three of their brothers, Aidan, Al and Sylvester. Pat Rock, showband era historian from Ballymahon, says the Rhythm Stars were unique in that there were seven brothers and one sister involved at one time or another. They were Stephen, Len, Al, Gerald, Aiden, Silvie, Liam (R.I.P.), and Millie Treacy. The full list of those who featured with the Rhythm Stars Showband from 1960 to 1974 includes the eight members of the Treacy family (mentioned earlier), Paul Lynch, Jimmy Raftery, Sean Raftery (R.I.P.), Jack Mulheir, Michael Clarke, Jimmy Diffley, P.J. Crane, John Dunne, Michael Keane, Dene Lane, Michael McDermott (R.I.P.) and Jimmy Kearney. Managers included Brendan Wallace, Billy Molloy (R.I.P.) and Stephen Treacy.

In 1972, several ex-members of the Rhythm Stars formed a new version of The Premier Aces with local singer, Patsy McCaul out front. The lineup included Aidan (trumpet), Sylvie (accordion/keyboards/Guitar) and Al Treacy (drums), brothers of original Pioneer Aces, Liam (RIP) and Stephen.

 

 

In 2003, memories of the the Rhythm Stars are alive and well with the release of a new CD. Copies of the CD were available from Stephen Treacy’s Sports Shop, Main Street, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon.

Ernest William Sibbald Treacy

My Grandfather was Ernest William Sibbald Treacy was married to Evelyn May Hester (Morris) 25th August 1920 Belfast, Northern Ireland. Some of his family lived in Hollywood, Northern Ireland. Ernest’s Father was from Southern Ireland his name was known as Sam and his wife Elizabeth. I have heard Wicklow, Carlow he could have come from anywhere LOL. But Sam and Elizabeth eloped to Northern Ireland and married and he was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

I remember him when I was young and I am trying to find out more about his family. I have all the information on his wives and children. I am just trying to find out about his brothers and sisters and where they came from originally in Ireland. I myself was born in Ireland but later and I am living in the USA now.

Ernest was the band leader of Sibbald Treacy’s Rhythm Kings in Northern Ireland and played for the BBC. He also played the piano. I would like to hear from anyone that knew him or may have any of his sheet music. I remember as a child seeing all his sheet music with his picture on the front of it and visiting him when he lived on the Antrim Road in Belfast where there was a plaque outside the front door that read Musical Director Sibbald Treacy Lives or lived here. I am not sure if it is still there or not.

The afternoon concert on Friday, August 29, will be provided by the Trocadero Sextet, directed by E.W. Sibbald Treacy, and relayed from the Trocadero Restaurant, Portrush. Besides being musical director of the sextet, Mr. Treacy is responsible for the dance band at the Northern Counties Hotel in this County Antrim seaside resort. His interest in dance music began when he visited America eight years ago and came into contact with Schneider’s band in New York and Pennsylvania. Shortly after this he completed a tour through Europe with an American band, and the experience gained in this direction has been made full use of by Mr. Treacy, with the result that his sextet has proved itself the finest café orchestra in the Province. An idea of the strength of the combination can be gleaned from the fact that it contains such artists as Randolph Booth (violoncello), whose solos were at one time a feature of the Regent Cinema, Sheffield; and Jack Glover, who has earned a high reputation in the dance world.

Paddy Treacy of Galway; All-Ireland Senior Flute Champion 1951, 1952, 1965.

Set Dancing News Old news and reviews - Volume 4 - 1999

That's what life is all about

Dear Bill

I teach set dancing for the past fifteen years and my husband is Paddy Treacy, the well known flute player from Galway. He comes from Cappatagle, a few miles west of Ballinasloe. A lot of good musicians came from there. When Paddy moved to Dublin he went to the Pipers Club in Thomas Street where he met Leo Rowsome, Willie Clancy, Bobby Casey, Séan Seery, Kathleen Harrington, Sonny Brogan, John Joe Gannon, Paddy O'Brien and lots more.

He joined the Kincora Ceili Band and J J Gannon and Bobby Casey. They played all over the country and would be away every Sunday night. During this period he played in the Oireachtas flute competition representing the Pipers Club. He got first three times and in 1956 he won the Oireachtas Gold Medal receiving full marks which meant he couldn't enter any more. He won first in the first and second Fleadhs. He gave up playing with the Kincora as we had been married by then and had a young family and Paddy didn't want to be away from home.

A few years later Paddy O'Brien returned from America and started the Lough Gowna Ceili Band so Paddy was asked to join. They broadcast regularly and played in the Oireachtas band competition and won three times. About fifteen years ago he started the Sheelin Ceili Band with Seamus Meehan, Phil McMahon, F De Bruen and A Vaughan, Paddy playing the C melody sax as well as the flute. He packed up the band a year ago and just plays for set dancers in the Merchant Bar every Wednesday. He has been there for the past eleven years. You might think that was near the end of the music. No way, we have an open house with every flute player in Dublin coming to play music. Great fun, lovely friends and that's what life is all about. Of course Paddy being from Galway he has been set dancing since he was a kid and enjoys coming to my classes and ceili with me. We have a wonderful life and wonderful friends thanks to Paddy's music and being involved in set dancing. I am enclosing a photo of Paddy taken last Christmas. Hope you find this of some interest.

Yours sincerely,

Kaye Treacy, Terenure, Dublin

Timothy Philip Treacy

A native of the Curragh of Kildare, Ireland. He has been involved with music from a very early age and was strongly influenced by his Father and Mother's own musicality, and this exposure to music eventually resulted in his love and passion for music that he has today. Without his Dad's influence as a performing singer, he might have never 'gone the music route in life.'

Nicola Joyce, Aisling Ryan, and Tim Treacy gather around a piano in Elizabeth Shannon’s home to hear the story of Muriel Hagerty, whose $100,000 legacy will help these Irish students pursue their dreams. The three arrived at Boston Univesity in late February 2005. All post-graduate students in music education at the University of Limerick, they are student teaching at Boston Latin School, working with College of Fine Arts Associate Professor William G. McManus as the 2005 recipients of the Shannon Fellowship. Although the program typically accepts only two students a year, Shannon says it was “impossible” to choose among them.

Tony Tracey

Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow

Tony has been involved in the music scene since the age of seventeen. Predominantly a bass player, he started off playing in local rock bands on the 'pub' circuit. After a couple of enjoyable years he then stepped up to the national level, touring Ireland, with a number of recognised bands and also involved in some high profile gigs - most noticably, the wedding reception of Ozzy Osbourne's son Louis, and Louise Lennon, and also as a member of the main band for the huge Telethon production at the Olympia Theatre. Now, with experience from playing live and session work with various artistes, Tony has decided to pen his own album.

John Joseph Tracey (1813-1873) Painter of Classical Subjects and Irish Scenes

http://traceyclann.com/files/John Joseph Tracey.htm

 

 

 

 

Liam Treacy (1934-2004), was a Wicklow artist who had been painting in an impressionist style since the 1950s. He was born in Avoca, Co. Wicklow, where his family have been settled for many generations. During his primary school days, Tracey was very interested in drawing, influenced by his brother Sean. He exhibited regularly with the James Gallery, Dalkey, and had participated in a wide range of group shows including the annual RHA exhibitions and the Wexford Opera Festival. In 1978 Liam Treacy went full-time as a professional painter, a courageous step, and the fact that he had made a career of it is testimony to the sheer quality of his work as an artist. Before going professional, he worked in the former Brennan's Bakery in Arklow, which used his skill as an artist to paint the lettering on its vans. For many years he was an art teacher for night-time classes in Arklow Community College, Abbey Community College, Wicklow; and at Shelton open detention centre art classes for the prisoners.

A good selection of his paintings can be seen at: http://www.whytes.ie/4ArchivesResult.asp?Search=treacy&submit.x=6&submit.y=9

The Victor Treacy Award
The Victor Treacy Award, which began as a putative one-off in 1991 became an annual event. A personal initiative on the part of Victor and Rachel Treacy (he is a businessman and Art Collector, based near Muine Bheag, Carlow, and she is on the board of the Butler Gallery). With the co-operation of the Butler, the selection process serves as the basis for an exhibition of work by short-listed artists. The short list is drawn up by three invited selectors who each contribute the names of three artists. The aim is to achieve a broad geographical spread and, perhaps, a diversity of type. Given such a procedure, it is inevitably a fragmented show, but that is not necessarily a drawback, particularly given the Butler's sequential floor plan. The Award, which started at £1,500, is directed at younger artists, to help in some way towards materials or equipment. The exhibition is also a significant indicator of artistic practice of emerging artists. It was an important exhibition in the national visual art programme. The winners were: 1991 T.J. Maher,  1992 Morgan Doyle, 1993 Clodagh Redden, 1994 Rebecca Peart, 1996 Tom Climent, 1998 Gerard Byrne, 1997 Rosie McGurran, In 2002, the award was a cash prize of €2,600 and the winner was Jesse Jones.
