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.

The Emergency will continue its foray into live performance with a half hour show as part of the Leviathan Silly Season Satire Special at The Button Factory on Wednesday, July 22nd.

Emergency team members Dermot Carmody, Morgan C Jones, Karen Ardiff and Joe Taylor will be joined by Crazy Dog Audio Theatre Sound FX wizard Roger Gregg to perform a radio show live on stage.

The first live performance by The Emergency was a short spot at a recent Leviathan, and the team have since performed a half hour show as part of the Trim Swift Satire Special. The Emergency received an award from the Swift festival acknowledging its services to satire. The award, fashioned from a large cut gemstone is seen here with Emergency Force consultant, Yoda.
