Oh what live jazz and poetry can create – our 6th jazz-poetry night in October saw Dimitra Xidous team up with musicians Gary Baus, Jack O’Rourke, Mo O’Connor and Michael O’Callaghan. So we won’t harp on about the magic when the videos (filmed by Stephen O’Riordan) of both the main set and the open-mic, are right here.
Ó Bhéal's end of year featured guest is Martina Evans. Martina is the author of thirteen books of poetry and prose. American Mules (Carcanet, 2021) won the Pigott Poetry Prize in 2022. The Coming Thing was published by Carcanet in 2023 and is shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry. Currently she is Books Critic for the Irish Times. For more details click here >>>
