    Open-mic night – 14th December 2021

    We enjoyed a phenomenal end-of-year event with the one and only Alice Oswald treating us to 40 minutes of readings from across her four most recent collections. The event had to be limited to the live setting only, so unfortunately we aren’t able to provide a recording. Nonetheless we’re very grateful to Alice for her time and the additional Q&A session, as well as to Seren Adams from United Artists and especially to the UCC School of English and Digital Humanities for helping to secure philanthropic sponsorship for the event.

    Thanks to everyone who participated and to all on the open-mic, Diarmuid FitzGerald, Al Black, Augustina Adéọlá Jekennu, Pam Campbell, Robert, Bryan Franco, Massimo Lavelle, Colm Scully, Paul Rabinowitz, Melisa Mauriño, Dane Ince, Sue Blue, Cathal Holden, Ada Miles, Susanna Trifiletti, Cédric Bikond, Patricia Walsh, Mary O’Connell, Gerry Murphy, Rosie O’Regan, Mags Creedon, Catherine Ronan and Ciarán MacArtain.

    Massimo Lavelle won this week’s Five Word challenge. Congratulations Massimo!

    The open-mic mp3 is here.
