Dublin Writers Festival runs from May 20-27th at various locations around Dublin. There’s the usual blend of Irish and International writers! The headline event is probably Dan Brown in the NCH on the Monday May 20th. Who knows what secrets will be revealed in the NCH that night. If you’re looking for the meaning of life or the secrets of the universe, the NCH on Monday week is the place to be! Remember, don’t make fun of renowned Dan Brown.

I knOw yoU– IMMA Earlsfort Terrace – 19 April – 1st Sept 2013 – “I knOw yoU is a dynamic exhibition by a new generation of young European artists” or so says the blurb on the new exhibition in IMMA @ NCH (Earlsfort Terrace).
