CLOSEST TO FINE
Ahead of their upcoming appearance at Sligo Live, Emily Saliers of the legendary musical duo Indigo Girls shared with Katie Donohoe her journey with spirituality, activism as an extension of being in a community and how it felt being open about her sexuality during a time that was far less welcoming.
Indigo Girls have long been a force to be reckoned with. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray began performing together as high school students. Active as a group since 1985, they have now amassed an amazing 16 albums as a duo, winning a Grammy for their self-titled album.
Apart from their undeniably inspiring musical output, they have also been no slouches in using their voices for things other than singing amazing songs. The team are unstoppable activists, having, amongst other things, supported Native American and environmental issues by founding the non-profit group, Honor The Earth.

About GCN
Welcome to our ninth annual Wedding Issue! In this issue, we look at the full spectrum of marriage, from proposals, to the ceremony and beyond. Four couples let us in on their wedding journey and all the planning and dreaming that goes into creating the perfect day, while long-term married pairings give the lowdown on how to keep a relationship strong. For those not into all this wedding malarkey, there’s a couple perfectly happy not to walk down the aisle.
On the culture side, we have a pair of interviews with two wonderful musical acts - the iconic Indigo Girls and the thrilling Cub Sport.
We discuss the cold facts that families of same-sex parents aren’t as equal as their straight counterparts, and that our family in the North still battle for the right to love.
Our cover image is by the artist Joe Caslin. He speaks inside about art as activism and the power of solidarity, something that our whole community can very much agree with. The North Is Next.
