The Poetry Stroll
Looking for a quirky and distinctive cultural experience in Dublin? Come stroll with me.
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.

UPCOMING EVENT: Æ George Russel Dinner
Friday 30 January, at the United Arts Club, Dublin
I am currently composing new music set to the poetry of George William Russell (Æ), the visionary mystic, poet, painter, and intellectual who stood at the heart of Dublin’s artistic life in the early twentieth century. Often described as an oracle of his age, Æ was a rare unifying presence, bringing together figures from across society, including the arts, science, politics, and spiritual thought.
As a central figure of the Irish Revival, Æ deserves recognition alongside the other great shapers of Ireland’s cultural and intellectual history.
This dinner party celebrates the life and work of George Russell, and I am delighted to be contributing to this occasion.
Tickets are available via the United Arts Club using the link below.
