Radio Butty
Welcome to the world of Radio Butty brought to you by the legendary Pat McCabe. Fresh from the Flat Lake Festival of 15 years ago comes the weird, wonderful, absurd, unexpected, and unknown Radio Butty.
You are invited to tune in with us as we have a very special line up planned. Pat has invited his friends, foes from far and beyond, from musicians to poets, painters, bards, dreamers, makers, storytellers and more, even our young friend Josh McC will make an appearance.
Radio Butty controls the dial to welcome a mystery line in a cabaret, poetry-slam, performance art-style.
The much-loved Pat McCabe is an award-winning playwright and novelist from Clones, County Monaghan. His short story, The Call, won the Irish Press Hennessy Award, and his novel The Butcher Boy won the Irish Times Irish Literature Prize for Fiction. The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto were shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. His short stories have been published in the Irish Times and the Cork Examiner and his work has been broadcast by RTÉ in Ireland and the BBC.
What exactly is Radio Butty’s style?
It is the dreamlike, episodic, often damaged romance of the mid-to-late nineteen sixties, from the movie Vertigo right up through the Space Age, incorporating the films and music of Doris Day.
