NIGHTHAWKS AT THE DUBLIN BOOK FESTIVAL
TUCAN
Túcan are an instrumental acoustic guitar-based group that will blow your socks off. In 2009 they released their debut album, Aliquot Strings, and it wasnt long before they were invited on tour by everyone from Rodrigo y Gabriela to Alabama 3. They are travelling all the way from Sligo to play the CUBE on March 5th so please be sure to give them a very warm Dublin welcome! See www.tucanmusic.com. (Caption: Donal and Pearse from Túcan)
FOIL, ARMS AND HOG
Foil, Arms and Hog are quite simply the best comedy sketch group to emerge in Ireland in recent years. They have already put on two critically-acclaimed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and are heading back for more praise next August. See www.foilarmsandhog.ie.
TOTALLY WIRED
Totally Wired are Lorcan Hughes and Emmet Quinn, and they perform comic songs that are guaranteed to make you laugh. They reached the final of the Bulmers Comedy Competition in 2009, and now appear regularly on RTE TV’s Republic of Telly.
COLM LIDDY
Colm is a fiction writer with a sharp sense of humour. His first book, I Love You, But… 40 Fights Between Husbands and Wives, was published in 2009 and very well received. His follow-up, Not Quite a Fairytale, will be published by Penguin this coming April. See www.colmliddy.com.
HELENE HUTCHINSON
Helene is a soprano with a great deal of experience as a soloist. She is a scholarship student at the D.I.T. Conservatory of Music and Drama, and has won numerous first-prize awards and bursaries throughout the country. Helene regularly performs with the classical music group Jade Strings, but will be performing with a classical guitarist on March 5th. See www.helenehutchinson.com.
COLM KEEGAN
Colm is a Dublin performance poet. He is the current All-Ireland Poetry Slam Champion and is a regular contributor to Arena on RTE Radio 1. Colm has also been shortlisted four times for the Sunday Tribunes Hennessy XO Literary Awards. And, on top of all that, Colm is also one of the organisers of Nighthawks at the Cobalt.
LENNON v McCARTNEY
At last a short play that definitively sorts out who is greater John Lennon or Paul McCartney. Well… sort of… This play has been performed everywhere from the main stage at the International Beatles Festival in Liverpool to the main stage at Whelans in Dublin. It’s a must-see for all Beatle fans! Lennon v McCartney is written and directed by Stephen Kennedy, and performed by Dylan McDonough and Kevin McGahern.
