Final reading of the 'Flesh and Blood' Doire Press tour tomorrow in Galway

Last Wednesday, 6th November, Simon, Michael, Ruth and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cork city for our reading at the City Library. We were thrilled to have a full house and a warm and engaged audience. Huge thanks to everyone who came to support us in Cork

It's hard to believe that our 2019 Doire Press Autumn/Winter Tour will culminate in our final reading tomorrow at 6:30pm in Galway City Library! I'm especially delighted that we'll be concluding our travels back on my own home turf and I look forward to seeing many friends, old and new, at the Library tomorrow. It's been a great pleasure getting to know my two fellow poets on the tour, Michael and Simon, swapping stories and reading along side both. I think our varied, contrasting voices complement each other well and make for a fun and encompassing range of poetry. Thankfully the feedback from audiences to date, in Belfast, Dublin and Cork, has been highly positive. As always, the reading tomorrow evening is free and everyone is warmly welcome! Thanks to The Galway Advertiser and Arts Editor, Kernan Andrews, for this lovely write up about our event which appears in this week's edition of the paper

So come along tomorrow evening and please tell your friends and spread the word! Thanks x
