Two new Festivals this week, one being the Spectrum Festival, which is billed as “Creative Music for Curious Ears”. Could you ask for more? The other is the Silk Road Film Festival 2017, which focuses on Asian, Arab, Persian, Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean and European cinema.
Live music comes from The Gloaming, Hammel on Trial, August Wells and Hamilton Leithauser. New Theatre includes Beckett Friel Pinter Festival, The Wedding Singer & Thriller Live.
The IMMA Collection Freud Project is a must see! National Gallery of Ireland has the ‘Beyond Caravaggio‘ until 14th May. Book now or feel awful silly!
