The Programme of the 2014 Dublin Writers Festival has just been announced. We’ll do a full review of the programme later, but there’s a couple of events that jumped off the page at me. The first being a night of Conversation and Performance by the legend that is Gruff Rhys.

The second is Alasdair Roberts in the Douglas Hyde Gallery, a lovely venue for the Scottish folk singer.

Gruff Rhys – American Interior: in conversation & performance – Whelan’s – 7pm -Sat 17th May @ 7PM

Alasdair Roberts & Robin Robertson on Hirta Songs – Douglas Hyde Gallery – Friday 23rd of May @ 7pm
