I’m off to Ireland later this week for my final solo poetry shows of the year.

Incredibly, there are still tickets left – especially for the Dublin show (I hope my performance there last year hasn’t put you off from coming again) – so please spread the word!

Tickets here: brianbilston.com/events/

A pic of me and my cat, alongside my Irish dates:
17 Oct: BELFAST: Mandela Hall
18 Oct: DUBLIN: Ambassador Theatre
19 Oct: LIMERICK: Lime Tree Theatre
20 Oct: DERRY: Millennium Forum

Little feckers behave as if they own the place, but won’t even chip in for the not-insignificant Local Property Tax. 😬

Sorry..just meant that things have moved on, populations have changed, new homes have been built, but decisions made 5 years ago will still be implemented next weekend. & people living along the affected routes are expected proactively to source their info from a website most don’t even know exists.

Probably even 5 years. The decisions were made in 2020.
