It is set to be a fantastic solstice weekend, with the Tullamore Rhymers featuring at Body and Soul in the Bulmers Lounge, not alone on one night, but on two.<\/p>\n
Other acts expected coming from Galway, and regulars at the Roisin Dubh is soundman Steven Sharpe and his band The Broke Straight Boys, and hostess \/ MC Tracy Bruen and her band, in full sound which I am looking forward to hearing.<\/p>\n
Old friends of the Tullamore Rhymers and regular attendees at the Scene of the Rhyme event A-musing also have a set at Body and Soul.<\/p>\n
I of course am all excited about seeing Leftfield, and the Body and Soul festival has craft classes as well as information on all things eco and sustainable, and I look forward to baffling a few folk on talking to them about incinerating toilets that are planned for Ballinamuck!<\/p>\n
I was introducing the Rhymers to the audience at the Roisin Dubh, whose open mic I attended again this Sunday past, where I read “A Future Vision When No Future We See” – <\/strong>while it is funny there was a rapper there that goes by the name of Crazed who blew us away with a verse that David Mallaghan himself would have been proud of.<\/p>\n On the poetry front, that night was closed by a chap Francesco, who did a lengthy spoken word piece in complex English structure that would leave a native like me tongue tied, and he had a very strong accent to condent with in its delivery. Th passion for the performance can be seen in the dedication people put into learning stuff off, which I fail to do miserable on a regular basis!<\/p>\n So, we are all set. All I have to get is my tent!<\/p>\n Oh, and a lift!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is set to be a fantastic solstice weekend, with the Tullamore Rhymers featuring at Body and Soul in the Bulmers Lounge, not alone on one night, but on two.
