A detachment from The Emergency is already hitching to Galway for the inaugural Leviathan: West at The Róisin Dubh in Galway tomorrow night.
The Emergency continues its fruitful new partnership in live performance with the Leviathan Political Cabaret:
We are launching Leviathan: West in Galway next Tuesday 28th July in the Róisín Dubh in Galway.
Guided by the theme “Is the West Awake?”, Tuesday’s show is hosted by incoming Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy and the panel includes Irish Times journalist Harry McGee, Connacht Tribune Editor Dave O’Connell, John Concannon of Ireland West Tourism and Carol Hunt of the Sunday Independent. We want to examine how the innate creativity and innovation for which the west of Ireland is known can help lead the way out of recession.
Also Paddy Cullivan of the Camembert Quartet;
Come along if you are in the West – it’s not quite the Galway Races Tent, but there’s politics and horseshit involved so it might provide an element of nostalgia for anyone who misses that foetid institution!
We’ll be announcing further live performances by The Emergency here soon. So now for ye.
