On Tish, by Síolta Circus
In the year 2222 a small but eccentric tribe of noisy, boisterous beings are on the hunt for food, shelter & a bit of craic. As they roam the desolate landscape they create chaos as they go with jaw dropping acrobatics & bagloads of absurdity. Prepare to laugh out loud as they sweep in, set up camp & make themselves at home.
Performers : Michelle Thoburn, Jacob Anderson, Ali Stanger, Henrik Gard & Aoife Raleigh
Directed by Alain Servant. Music by John Linnane.

Whiskey You’re The Divil
Whiskey You’re The Divil are a rousing, fun-fueled music group who know how to sing a song the way it should be sang. More important however is that they're a bunch of friends who all grew up together in the same village in Ireland and simply love playing music together and having the Craic. This is clearly a blurb they wrote for out foreign, but they're outrageously good so we will let that one slide.

DISTRO Exhibition
Distro (which is slang for an independent distributor of zines and other forms of alternative press) is a pop-up exhibition that brings together a collection of over 70 independent and self-published artists’ books with the aim of introducing the practice of artist publishing to rural Ireland. Artist’s books are not to be confused with ‘how to’ books on art, or the art book whose purpose is to display artworks made in another medium, they are publications that have been considered as artworks in their own way, such as photobooks or zines. Distro features works from a range of artists and collectives from all across Ireland and abroad.
