Introduction
The Counties of Meath and Westmeath Act ( Henry VIII 34 ) of 1542, proclaimed Westmeath (which then included Longford which separated in 1586) a county, separating it from Meath. Mullingar became the administrative centre for County Westmeath. The town was originally named Maelblatha, and takes its modern name from a mill noted in the legend of Colman of Mullingar.[1] Mullingar now possesses amenities such as libraries, secondary schools, gymnasiums, snooker halls, internet-cafes, an Arts Centre, and railway station. The town had a tradition of cattle-trading up until 2003, when its cattle market was finally closed for development of a mixed commercial and residential scheme called the Market Point. Mullingar is famous for the neighbouring lakes, Lough Owel and Lough Ennell, which attract many anglers, as well as Lough Derravaragh. Lough Derravaragh is best known for its connection with the Irish legend of the Children of Lir. Having being turned into swans, the four children of King Lir spent three hundred years on Lough Derravaragh before moving to other locations around Ireland. Lough Lene has a reputation for its clear water, historic ringforts, and wind-surfing. In recent times one of Mullingar's major exports has become the items of pewterware [2] produced by the firm of Mullingar Pewter located near the town. Genesis fine art is also produced locally and sold worldwide - one of its sculptures of the "Pilgrims" dominates the dispensary house at Austin Friars St where once there was an Augustinian Friary. The town is the second largest town in the Irish Midlands, second only to Athlone. The town, as of 2006, is however, officially the most populated town in the midlands [4] due in part to its increasing popularity as a commuter town. A statue of Joe Dolan has been erected on market square as a tribute. The town has three newspapers serving the community: The Mullingar Advertiser, The Westmeath Topic, and The Westmeath Examiner.[3] Mullingar forms part of the Midlands Gateway, [4] in association with Athlone and Tullamore.
Music
[citation needed] The Stables is one of the main music venues in the county dedicated to original live music.[citation needed] It was opened in 1990 and to date has presented performances featuring The Frames, Damien Rice, Bell X1, Damien Dempsey, and Joe Dolan among other big name Irish acts. [12] It generally tends to catch acts on their way up in the world as it is not the of biggest venues. Recently, acts such as Delorentos, The Blizzards, The Immediate, and Director, have taken to the stage, alongside mature acts such as Kila, Triega, Darragh J. Glennon and Declan O'Rourke. Apart from The Stables, Danny Byrne's is another well known location playing host to cover bands and DJs, alongside some lesser known original acts. The Mullingar Town Band was founded in 1879 by Fr. Polland as a Holy Family Confraternity Band.[13] The local Military Barracks supplied many of the early members who themselves were serving members of the British Regimental bands stationed in Mullingar. Many of the members of these bands settled in the town and joined the band. The Mullingar Confraternity Band remained under the auspices of the Confraternity until the 1940s when it was handed over to a committee who continued under the title of Mullingar Brass and Reed Band. And thus it remained until membership had dwindled to 3 or 4 members in 1957 when the present Director Hubert Magee was asked to take the helm. In 1979 the centenary was celebrated with a membership of 100 - one member for every year of the band's existence. The band has a dual role of marching band - The Celtic Crusaders - and a concert band. It has won some of the top awards in Ireland, Northern Ireland and England. Entirely voluntary, it is maintained financially by membership fees and fundraising. Every four years since 1974 both the Celtic Crusaders and Concert Band attend the International Youth Band Festival in Pumerend, Holland. In 2004 the band completed a successful exchange with the Cardinal Gibbons High School Band, Raleigh, North Carolina. They travelled to Midsomer Norton, England in July 2006 for the Open European Championships, bringing home four gold medals, including a gold with distinction in the senior concert section for the first time. The Arcadian Danceband, fronted by Joe Delaney, were a popular band from Westmeath in the 1920s and 30s. The band played in Mullingar, Killucan and Kinnegad, and travelled to out of county venues in Kilkenny and Louth. Their music consisted of covers of popular dance numbers of the day and as some original songs. Front man Joe Delaney played various instruments including the accordian, bodhran and some brass.
