The Poetry Stroll
The Poetry Stroll:
A Guided Literary Walking Tour
The Poetry Stroll explores James Joyce’s Dublin through poetry and music, using the artist’s footsteps as a compass through the city. While best known as a writer, Joyce was also a singer and a poet, and it is through this lens that we encounter his world: Dublin at the beginning of the twentieth century.
As we walk the streets and visit the places that shaped him, the stroll shines a light on Joyce’s artistic aspirations, creative life and places he later immortalised in Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses.
Come stroll with me.

I recently composed new music to the poetry of Æ George Russell. Æ, the visionary mystic, poet, painter, and intellectual who stood at the heart of Dublin’s artistic life in the early twentieth century.
I presented these compositions during the inaugural dinner organised by the George Russell Society at the United Arts Club in Dublin on 30 Janurary, 2026.
I recorded the poem 'A Farewell' at Fennelly's of Callan.
