The second edition of the charity night Dublin Songs and Stories takes place in the Sugar Club this September.
The first Dublin Songs and Stories charity event held last June raised more than €2,000 for Pieta House. The Rape Crisis Centre is the very worthy charity chosen by the organisers, Come Here To Me, for this second event, taking place in the Sugar Club on Thursday, 3rd September.
Dublin Songs and Stories Part II features a great line-up of exciting guests, including:
BP FALLON
Beep is well known to us all, and has certainly lived a colourful life. Immersed in the world of music all his life, this rock’n’roll Renaissance man has been involved with the likes of Johnny Thunders, Led Zepplin and T Rex, rubbing shoulders with The Beatles along the way. He now fronts his own combo, BP Fallon & The Bandits.
MICK PYRO
Front man of one of Ireland’s most original bands, the now defunct Republic of Loose, Pyro is known for his diverse musical tastes, but is also an avid reader and even has an MA in Renaissance literature.
ADW
One of Ireland’s most established street and stencil artists, ADW has used the city as a canvas over the years, producing thought-provoking and humorous works. Like his ‘tribute’ to Bertie Ahern.
Steve Averill
Steve Averill has had a hand in producing all of U2’s album covers since day one, and also plays with The Trouble Pilgrims, keeping the spirit and passion of the iconic Dublin punk band The Radiators from Space (of which he was a founding member) alive.
John Flynn
Music on the night comes from John, who plays with Skipper’s Alley, a young traditional / folk band based in Dublin, who bring a new energy to the genre.
Ailbhe Smyth
Ailbhe Smyth is a veteran campaigner for change in Irish society, lending her name to various feminist and LGBT campaigns.
