Last night's EBCF Fringe event was sublime. Rónán Ó Snodaigh & Myles O'Reilly's combination of music & spoken word, interspersed with Gaeilge, had the audience fully immersed & singing along. Theo Dorgan took to the stage to share some of his poetry also.

"The perfect poetic full stop"....beautifully put Niamh. Thank you 😊

At this morning's poetry event at The Record Break, we were treated to the work of Maryellen Hodgins and The Poetry Collective. Also, one of our first time volunteers, Louise,read her poetry in public for the first time. We're delighted to have been there to share that with her.

A little taste of Saturday night and Sunday of #EBCF2024. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. See you in 2025! 📸 Eamon Ward

Wrapping up #EBCF2024 today, as part of EBCF Fringe (thanks to IdirDháThrá,), were Siobhan Peoples, Conor Crimmins and Alan Reid, in Fawl's Bar. Best enjoyed with a pile of books close to hand.
