What's On AN 424: AN BUS GO DTÍ AN GHEALCHATHAIR | THE BUS TO THE BRIGHTCITY
✓ Listed by organiser
Everyone who lives in Conamara or who has visited knows the road the 424 bus takes west from Galway city, along the coast, past lakes, bogs and hills to quiet fields where men and cattle stop to gaze at the colourful bus. Long ago the driver might stop to deliver boxes of chickens at houses on the way; a man might burst into a hoarse rendition of the fifty verses of Úna Bhán. These days voices from Ukraine, Eastern Europe and Asia join those of the native speakers and the woman who lost her Irish in America as they sway to and fro on the road to Galway. Poet Laoighseach Ní Choistealbha, novelist Jackie Mac Donncha and poet and musician Cúán de Búrca read from new work inspired by their journeys on the bus; with music from Trá Pháidín, whose first album was An 424, and visuals from broadcaster and film maker Donal Dineen. Curated by Majella Ní Chríocháin.
