I’m really looking forward to going along to this event tonight at the The London Irish Centre in Camden Square. The LIC centre and charity is such an important force for supporting Irish people in London and promoting Irish arts and culture. It has existed for over 60 years.
The London issue of the Stinging Fly magazine will look at how different Irish writers have adopted the city as their home. It should be a great mix of stories, poems and music from a great line-up including Gavin Corbett, Danny Denton, Patrick McCabe, Niamh Mulvey and Declan Ryan.
I’m really interested in what’s in store having lived in London for over three years. I love living in this vibrant and ever changing city but I still hold very strong links to Dublin and Ireland. The chance to hear other people talk about experiences here and creative thinking and music sounds perfect for a Thursday evening!
Here’s to a great event ahead!
