Poetry and Song in the Tower 7-9 June 2016
In the week before Bloomsday the UCD James Joyce Research Centre, in association with the British Embassy, will host evenings of poetry and song in the James Joyce Tower, Sandycove, Tuesday 7 – Thursday 9 June, 7pm.
Six leading Irish poets will be joined by singer Fran O’Rourke and guitarist John Feeley for a programme of poetry and song with Joycean associations.
Feeley and O’Rourke will perform Irish traditional songs featured in Joyce’s writings. The poets are all former writers-in-residence of the Centre Culturel Irlandais Paris: Moya Cannon, John F Deane, Greg Delanty, Mary O’Malley, Gerard Smyth, and Vincent Woods; their readings will resonate with associations of Joyce’s life in the French capital.
Provisional programme (subject to change):
Tuesday 7 June: John F Deane, Gerard Smyth, Vincent Woods.
Wednesday 8 June: Moya Cannon, Greg Delanty, Mary O’Malley.
Thursday 9 June: Moya Cannon, John F Deane, Greg Delanty, Mary O’Malley, Gerard Smyth, and Vincent Woods (Limited availability at the door).
Tickets (€15) for Poetry and Song in the Tower are on sale from the Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire. (http://www.paviliontheatre.ie/events/view/poetry-and-song-in-joyce-tower)
The events are supported by Fáilte Ireland, the Bloomsday Festival and the James Joyce Centre.
