Kick off The Bloomsday Festival celebrations at The James Joyce Centre on Thursday, 11th June at 8.30pm with a Joyce-themed cabaret of readings, performance, music and natter, hosted by author David Collard.

Surprises and beneficial shocks are guaranteed at this informal one-off gathering, with a nod to 1920s Dada cabaret. There will be music, performance, readings, songs, conversation, audience participation — and maybe a little whiskey. The evening offers a wildly entertaining start to the Bloomsday Festival and will appeal to seasoned Joyceans and newcomers alike. All are welcome!
