Coming up on Sunday Miscellany this weekend, Sunday 1st October at 9.10am, is a Culture Night special, recorded last Friday evening to a most appreciative audience at the beautiful Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle.
The eclectic mix of essays from writers Andrea Martin, Mary O’Donnell, Rachel Fehily and Conall Hamill provide reflections on migration and refugees, Red Hugh O’Donnell and Spain, mid-century landscape architecture, and the nature of memory.
The music on the programme comes from the boundary-pushing ensemble Taquin TRE, led by Francesco Turrisi on keyboards with Kate Ellis on cello and Nick Roth on saxophone; virtuouso guitarist Shane Hennessy, and chanteuse Camille O’Sullivan, accompanied by Feargal Murray.
Here’s Camille singing Nick Cave's Ship Song:
