In July we heard...

 

Rock ‘n ‘roller Larry Kirwan reading from his new novel ROCKIN’ THE BRONX and singing one of his hits for the benefit of the attendant film crew making a documentary about his life..........Hugo Hamilton reading a lyrical passage about ice cream from his novel HAND IN THE FIRE - an exquisitely written piece of nostalgia whose full flavour would be easy to miss while you are in the throes of the plot.. .... James Patrick Kelly with a science fiction short story that hooked you up and left you hanging there.....new poems from Ted Deppe and Annie Deppe .......more poetry from the unique Tony Curtis, half priest, half magician and wonderful performer of his work......the multi award-winning Claire Keegan, who read from her long short story FOSTER,a  winner of the Davy Byrne short story award.  It is due to be published in September.  At the end of the week we heard from each of the students on the Stonecoast in Ireland course, along with several local writers.  A great evening.    Finally, Peter Cunningham, competing manfully with an evening of torrential rain, gave a small but very appreciative audience a taste of his highly entertaining satirical novel CAPITAL SINS which has the Celtic Tiger by the tail.
