Another Great night was had as totally ill-advisedly we organised this final concert to take the campaign to Dublin and say thanks to a lot of friends based there and reconnect with some of my oldest and best relationships within the entertainment industry and I also think we may have created a great Live brand in the meantime - the Art Disruptors which I would love to develop in the future.
Thanks to everyone who came and to all the artists that took part in what was a wonderful evening up close and personal with a really diverse line up that included the brilliant Stand up comedy of Willie White and Eric Lalor, live Poetry from the totally individual Nuala Leonard, a little Storytelling from myself to offer some back-story to the night, all book ended by the musical brilliance of Pete Holidai and the irrepressible force that is Kíla
The night also served the very valuable public platform for us to create the Facebook Live event of the FAI tickets for the World Cup play offs (Click here to relive that magic!!) which took place on the Tuesday afterwards which we don't like to talk too loudly about!
Many people bought tickets on the night and were included in the draw along with the online sales
The night itself excluding the Football raffle chipped another €275 into the overall campaign kittty!

MUSIC
RONAN AND COLM O' SNODAIGH - Two of the brothers who have been at the core of Ireland's most innovative traditional band, Kíla since 1986. Colm and Ronan have been involved in too many projects to mention but they will be mixing a blend of their incredible music talents together with their love of the lyric and poetry for something very unique! |
|
PETE HOLIDAI- Previously member of the legendary Irish punk band Radiators from Space now in a totally new moment with the Trouble Pilgrims. Holidai in his role as lecturer at Ballyfermot's infamous 'Rock School' has been at the heart of the Dublin music scene for nearly 4 decades.
I studied Music and Media MGMT under the great Holidai's tutorlege and it is fantastic to have him on a bill where anything might transpire... POETRY
Spoken Word Artist NUALA LEONARD has being performing her poems at slams, jams, open mikes and festivals around the country for many years, including the Dun Laoighre Poetry Fringe, K.Fest and Townslands,The Circle Sessions, A-musings, Under the Hammers and Scene of the Rhyme. She was a runner up in the NYF Slam 2015, has just won first place in the All Ireland Slam Championships in Enniskillen and will soon head to the European Finals. COMEDY
ERIC LALOR - twice crowned Irish Stand Up of the Year by entertainment.ie Lalor has truly established himself as one of Ireland's most consistent comedy performers and most recently as one of our hottest rising acting stars. Beyond his much loathed character Cathal (the bad lad!) Eric also won Best Actor at the Ealing Film Awards this year for his role in 'In the Valley of the Moon' WILLA WHITE - In September to a packed Longford Arms Willa showed why he is one of the hottest stand ups in Ireland and secured his reputation as the culchies favourite. Our second 'Howeya' comic of the night but this writers newest favourite Irish comic!!
LIVE STORYTELLING
STEPHEN GARLAND - THE PRE-DISPOSED inspired by a show I created in Barcelona and Rio entitled Vent! Telling it like it was this is the story that will frame a lot of the reason why the gig is happening as The Pre -Disposed maps the almost 6 year journey across 2 continents, from Barcelona to Brazil, through many events, small and mega to get us where we are about to head to Russia to make myself very unwell to get well |

We fully expect to add 1 or 2 more top acts to complete a line up of the most innovative people from the Irish Arts scene and I am delighted and humbled to head off to Russia
