The James Connolly Festival’s first evening show will be launched with songs and stories of some of the great revolutionaries. Mat Callaghan and Yvonne more will bring their extraordinary talent of singing and songwriting to the new theatre, singing songs of Connolly, rebellion and revolt, while one of Ireland’s most distinguished writers Gabriel Rosenstock will cite extracts from his latest book of haiku based on the life of Irish-Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara. This will be a once off performance and a great opener to the festival.
