Who killed James Joyce?

Having spent a most amazing month on Inis Oírr as the artist in residence I am back in Ireland again and about to set off on some gigs in the near future these are the ones in so far. While out on the island I was working on and putting some of the finishing touches to Who Killed James Joyce which I am launching at Cuirt in Galway in April.

In this my new show, ‘Who Killed James Joyce’ I have once again returned to the brimming well of Irish poetry and summoned a meitheal of poets, from both living and the dead, to bring home a bountiful literary harvest. Most of these poems have not been previously set to music and from the moment I clapped eyes on them they sung to me.

The poems included are:

Patrick Kavanagh, Who Killed James Joyce.
James Joyce, Gas From a Burner.
WB Yeats, Host of The air, The Stolen Child.
Mairtin Ó Direáin, Fís An Daill.
Louise Mc Neice, ‘Prognosis’ and Bagpipe Music.
Michael Hartnett, Ballad of The State of The Nation and I Can Read You Like A Book.
Oscar Wilde’s, Reading Gaol, Requiescat.
Padhraig Pearse, Bean tShleibhe ag Caoineadh a Mic.
Seamus Heaney, ‘Poem’
Rita Ann Higgins, Ode to Rahoon.
Mary O’Malley, Hormones
Connie O Halloran, Hung Out to Dry.
Paul Durcan, Making Love Outside Áras an Uachtaráin.
Phil Gaston, The World is Turning.
Seán Ó Ríordáin Cúl An Tí.
Oliver St John Gogarty, Ringsend. St
