SUMMARY:The Whiteheaded Boy
DESCRIPTION:“ – Glory be to God! Is it notions she has? – Aye\, notions. But they’re notions that cost me money!” \n\n\nThe table is set for Denis\, arriving home from Dublin where he’s studying Medicine at Trinity College – a source of enormous pride for his besotted mother and of great resentment to his five other siblings. \nBut when word comes that he may have failed his exams again\, the final straw breaks. Threats of deportation\, lawsuits\, bribes and counter-bribes escalate\, as the family twist the fate of their whiteheaded boy to suit themselves. Never mind about the girls. \nA smash hit when it premiered at the Abbey Theatre 110 years ago\, Lennox Robinson’s The Whiteheaded Boy is a raucous\, high-stakes tug-of-war between a generation who will do anything to keep their standing in the town and the young\, who just want to be free to do what they want to do. \nAward-winning director Annie Ryan re-imagines this bawdy and bold Irish classic with a contemporary eye and a sharp feminist wink to the past. Notions abound!

SUMMARY:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:Guides from the James Joyce Centre take you through Dublin\, exploring the history of the city and the various locations described by Ireland’s greatest writer\, James Joyce.\n\nThough Joyce lived most of his life outside of Ireland\, Dublin would provide the backdrop for virtually all of his work.

The tour visits such stops as Belvedere College\, the Gresham Hotel\, the James Joyce Statue\, Davy Byrnes\, and the National Library.\n\nThis is an excellent and fun introduction to Joyce in a bustling part of the city.\n\nThe James Joyce Centre offers two tours: Introducing Joyce’s Dublin and Footsteps of Leopold Bloom.\n\nEvery Thursday\, Friday & Saturday at 11 am. Duration 2 hours.\n\nAdmission to the James Joyce Centre is included. \nThe James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport.

SUMMARY:Kalben
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 10th anniversary tour of her album Kayıp Aşklar Ülkesi\, Kalben comes to Dublin on June 7\, 2026\, performing at The Grand Social. \nWith her velvet-like voice\, emotional intensity\, and undeniable energy\, Kalben transforms the stage into a shared\, intimate space where songs turn into conversations and the audience becomes part of the moment. \nThis special night marks one of the European legs of her anniversary tour\, celebrating a decade of music\, stories\, and connection\, with Güneş Özgeç opening the night. \nAge Restriction: 18+ \nWho is Kalben? \nKalben is an artist who treats her songs as confessions and her concerts as sincere\, safe meeting spaces. Drawing from folk\, blues\, and indie pop\, she weaves vulnerability and strength together\, expressing deep emotions through simple yet striking lyrics. \nHer stage is a place where love\, loss\, freedom\, and the courage of being human are spoken out loud. \nTransforming the audience from listeners into participants at every show\, Kalben celebrates her 10th year as an artist with Land of Lost Lovers\, released in 2026. Standing out within her rich discography—alongside albums such as Sonsuza Kadar\, Kalp Hanım\, and Eski Dünyanın Yangını\, as well as numerous singles\, duets\, live recordings\, and EPs—this album is considered one of her most profound and grounded works\, both vocally and lyrically. \nHaving toured for over a decade from Berlin to Mardin\, New York to Diyarbakır\, Kalben openly shares the memories and emotions she has gathered along the way\, bringing together everyone who has walked this journey with her. \nThe Land of Lost Lovers tour—marking Kalben’s most free and fearless era—continues.

SUMMARY:Imelda May – Raised on Songs & Stories
DESCRIPTION:After the sell-out success of her current tour\, Raised on Songs & Stories\, globally revered Irish artist Imelda May has announced additional summer dates. She returns to Dublin’s Vicar Street on June 9th and 10th. \nThis unique series of intimate evenings will feature new stripped back versions of her wide discography and favourite songs\, integrated with her famed poetry & storytelling. \nImelda says: “I’m coming to you soon! 18 nights of an Irish tour. It’ll be an evening of songs\, poems\, stories\, joy and beauty. This idea evolved naturally over the last couple of years. You see\, when I write\, produce and release an album I get so excited to perform the songs live that I fizz up and plan and rehearse gigs with such enthusiasm that I’m like a little thrilled whirlwind but too often I leave room for little else. I work out which songs will flow best into another to create the vibe desired that I sometimes don’t leave much space for the unknown which is where a different magic lies. This space is the place where I exist and love most\, it’s where I write and create. So it feels right to stay there a while. To have a gig where someone might ask for a song I haven’t visited in a while and I think ‘yeah let’s give it a go’\, or where I can tell you the stories behind the songs and how I ended up working with some of the people I’ve worked with so far. Not a ‘show’ this will be a shared night of what music\, art\, connection and creativity means to me\, with you.”

SUMMARY:Are Ya Dancin’? – A Showband Story
DESCRIPTION:Age 12+ (Under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian aged 18+)\nNo under 3’s permitted in the auditorium.\n\nGet ready to step back into the glittering heart of Ireland’s showband era as the sell-out sensation ARE YA DANCIN’? returns—bigger\, bolder\, and bursting with warmth and charm. \nFollowing its hit national debut at 3Olympia Theatre in 2024\, this vibrant Irish musical play written by Carol Gleeson and Helen Spring takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through the ballrooms and backroads of 1960’s Donegal. \nMeet Tommy O’Neill\, an unassuming young man with big dreams and a band on the rise. As fame beckons\, old traditions clash with new freedoms and Tommy struggles to find his voice in a changing Ireland. \nAlongside a live seven-piece band\, over thirty performers\, and a soundtrack packed with classics like “The Hucklebuck\,” “Rock Around the Clock\,” “I’m a Believer\,” and “Hit the Road Jack\,” this show pulses with energy\, nostalgia\, and the unmistakable beat of a nation eager to find its rhythm. \nWhether you lived it or just wish you had\, ARE YA DANCIN’? will have you tapping your feet\, shedding a tear\, and cheering for more. Vibrant\, moving\, and deeply Irish\, this play is so much more than a showband story. It’s a story about who we are\, and who we yearn to become. \nDon’t miss the show that brings the spirit of a generation roaring back to life! \n  \n  \n\nProduction Team: \nWriters/Producers – Carol Gleeson and Helen Spring (A Likely Story) \nDirector – Pat McElwain \nMusical Director – Dave McGauran \nChoreographer – Deirdre Browne \nVocal Arrangements/Vocal Coach – Owen C. Lynch \nTechnical Manager – Conor Sweeney

SUMMARY:Ancient Manuscripts and the Psychology of Reading
DESCRIPTION:Dr Christoph Scheepers\, Senior Lecturer in Psychology\, University of Glasgow \nResearch in the psychology of reading has traditionally centred on the cognitive processes involved in text comprehension. This includes exploring questions such as: “How do readers recognize words?”\, “How do they integrate information at the word\, sentence\, and discourse levels to construct a coherent interpretation of the text?”\, or “How do they resolve ambiguities at these various levels?”. \nAncient manuscripts introduce an additional aesthetic dimension to these inquiries—an area that so far has received relatively little attention in the psychology of reading. These manuscripts are particularly rich in paratextual features\, such as marginalia\, cross-referencing systems\, and artworks\, which supplement the main text. These elements have the potential to convey knowledge and understanding that extend beyond the content of the primary text itself. \nExamining how this process occurs requires a comprehensive approach that combines methodologies from the psychology of reading—particularly eye-tracking (to identify where readers focus their attention)—with survey and qualitative data. This integrated approach aims to assess not only the reading process\, but also the aesthetic and emotional responses to manuscript elements and how they affect interpretation in different readers. \nIn this lecture\, I will discuss key findings from applying this method to ancient manuscripts as part of the Paratexts Seeking Understanding project\, with a particular emphasis on the role of aesthetics\, in shaping readers’ interpretations of texts. \nFREE Talk:  No booking required for onsite talk\, please register for online viewing via Zoom HERE. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr Christoph Scheepers is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Glasgow and is the Scientific Director of the Templeton project Paratext Seeking Understanding. He obtained his Master’s degree at the University of Bochum (1991) and his PhD at the University of Freiburg (1997). He held an Assistant Professorship in Computational Linguistics at Saarbruecken University (2000–2003) and Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Dundee (2003-2005)\, before moving to Glasgow. Dr Scheepers’s scientific background is in general cognitive science\, with a particular focus on psycholinguistics. He is an expert in eye-tracking research and statistical methods. He has held various research grants funded by ESRC\, and his Google Scholar citation index confirms over 18\,000 citations of his work so far.

Though Live Era remains a document of GNR in their younger days\, the release couldn’t be better timed: then and now\, GNR are one of the most ferocious live bands on the planet. \nWith previously announced appearances at festivals in Mexico\, Brazil\, and the UK\, the 31-date tour will feature an EU leg with performances in Poland\, Ireland\, the Netherlands\, Germany\, Belgium\, and France\, before GNR returns to North America for a run traversing the United States and Canada. Tickets are available at gunsnroses.com. \nABOUT GUNS N’ ROSES: \nGuns N’ Roses endure as the most dynamic\, dangerous\, and definitive American rock band in history to this day. \nEmbedded in popular culture\, Guns N’ Roses’ landmark diamond-selling 1987 opus\, Appetite For Destruction\, stands out as “the best-selling U.S. debut album ever” and “the 11th best-selling U.S. album of all time.” Following its release\, Guns N’ Roses shook the world with the one-two punch of the over 7x-platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II\, clinching the top two spots on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart upon arrival. With total sales of 100 million units thus far\, their catalog also consists of G N’ R Lies (5x-platinum)\, The Spaghetti Incident? (platinum)\, Greatest Hits (5x-platinum)\, and Chinese Democracy (over 6 million worldwide). Not to mention\, they are one of the most-streamed rock bands in the world with an average of 27 million monthly listeners on Spotify and in May 2024 were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for their 1987 debut album\, Appetite for Destruction. \nOn the touring front\, Guns N’ Roses legendary three-hour-plus shows encompass sought-after fan favorites in addition to newly dusted-off gems from their back catalog\, leaving ardent audiences in awe. Their blockbuster 2024 world tour sold 1.3 million tickets around the world and marked the band’s largest run to date. Consisting of acclaimed performances in stadiums and arenas alike\, the tour included headlining festival dates at Glastonbury and London’s Hyde Park\, while the North American leg included sold-out performances at historic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey\, as well as a co-headlining performance at Power Trip in Indio\, CA with AC/DC & Metallica. Guns N’ Roses’ previous world tour\, Not In This Lifetime…\, notably ranked as the “fourth-highest grossing concert tour of all time\,” selling 5 million-plus tickets and included a headline performance at Coachella. The band’s massive 2025 tour saw the powerhouse band hit stadiums and arenas in Europe\, Asia\, the Middle East\, and Latin America throughout the year. \nGuns N’ Roses are Axl Rose (vocals\, keyboards)\, Duff McKagan (bass)\, Slash (lead guitar)\, Dizzy Reed (keyboard)\, Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar)\, Isaac Carpenter (drums)\, and Melissa Reese (keyboard). \nGuns N’ Roses never stops with more touring on the horizon and other surprises—the “Nightrain” keeps rolling at full speed.

SUMMARY:Dogstar
DESCRIPTION:Two years on from the release of their most recent album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees\, American alternative rock outfit Dogstar have announced a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Thursday 11th June 2026. \n\n\nComprised of guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose\, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves\, Dogstar was born in 1991 as a band of friends who came together in a garage in Southern California and simply dreamed of playing music together and making a little noise. Now\, all these years later\, Domrose\, Mailhouse and Reeves took some time at the tail end of an historic lockdown to create this collection of songs that fully encompasses who they are as artists today. The happily reunited rock trio’s official return came in May 2023 – more than 20 years since their last performance together – with their first public performance at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival with a set that sparked fan and critical praise alike\, including the live debut of their lead single ‘Everything Turns Around\,’ which was officially in July of that year. \nDogstar epitomize the quintessential Southern California storytelling rock band they’ve always been in their hearts\, making deeply resonant music that literally comes from Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees – the name of their most recent album which was released in October\, 2023 via their own label Dillon Street Records (distributed through ADA).

SUMMARY:MOLLY O’MAHONY
DESCRIPTION:O’Mahony first emerged as a formidable voice in the Irish art-folk scene as front woman of Mongoose\, with whom she released two albums and toured extensively over the course of a decade. Her shift into solo work marked a turning inward. In 2022 she released her debut solo album\, The House Of David\, a deeply personal collection written largely during lockdown while back home in Ballydehob\, West Cork. The record introduced audiences to a songwriter unafraid of emotional candour\, pairing spine-tingling harmonies with diaristic honesty.\nThe House Of David earned national radio support including airplay on RTÉ Radio 1 and received a nomination for Best Debut Album at the Hot Press Awards\, confirming O’Mahony as one of Ireland’s most compelling emerging voices. \nFour years on\, she returns with her most expansive and emotionally resonant work to date. Rooted in Ireland’s storytelling tradition yet shaped by contemporary global unease\, her new album Waiting On The World explores love\, uncertainty and resilience in a post-COVID landscape. \n“Molly’s voice echoes ethereally like a cherubic Patti Smith\, like a celestial PJ Harvey soaring” – Barry Egan\, Sunday Independent \n“Stunning\, impressive and evocative…” – Alexandra Anderson\, Hotpress

We will be joined by novelist Rónán Hession (aka Mumblin’ Deaf Ro)\, composer David Bremner\, soprano Suzanne Savage\, and (live via satellite from Venice\, California) Joyce enthusiast and polymath Gerry Fialka. \nSurprises and beneficial shocks are guaranteed at this informal one-off gathering\, with a nod to 1920s Dada cabaret. There will be music\, performance\, readings\, songs\, conversation\, audience participation — and maybe a little whiskey. The evening offers a wildly entertaining start to the Bloomsday Festival and will appeal to seasoned Joyceans and newcomers alike. All are welcome! \nThe Company \nDavid Collard writes for print and online publications including the Times Literary Supplement\, Literary Review\, 3:AM Magazine\, gorse\, Exacting Clam\, White Review and others.
