Mabel Counihan


James Joyce loved music and the evening was suitably filled with performances of songs from his era. 

Joyce's portrait oversaw proceedings; hopefully with an approving eye :)

DÓCHAS DRAMA presents “A JAMES JOYCE SELECTION BOX”  at Killarney Library on Bloomsday 16th of June.

Members of Dóchas will read selections from Joyce’s short stories, letters and some of his poems.

There will be a snippet or two from “Ulysses” and perhaps one of the more accessible passages from “Finnegan’s Wake”.  

Some of the songs of the early 1900s which are referred to in his work will feature too.
