Three Irish poets’ quirky take on life. Legendary performer Brendan Cleary mixes emotion with humour in equal measure with a rare inimitable style. Aoife Mannix is renowned internationally for her poetry in performance. Joe Duggan blends childhood memory with the politics of Northern Ireland, the rites of student living and the absurdity of the everyday.
