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, Master Glass Blower Gerard began his career with Waterford Crystal as an apprentice glass blower in 1979. 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. He has worked on the entire range of Waterford Crystal stemwares. |

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. http://www.philiptreacy.co.uk/ |

Sean Treacy 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. |

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. Thanks, Rosemary Foffee3@Aol.com April 12th, 2008 15 Aug 1930, Radio Times

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. |
