So - Aspects Festival kicks off on the 21st September. I have my tickets booked for several events and I'm particularly looking forward to hearing Dan Cruickshank, an expert on one of my favourite times in history. Also keen to get to Leanne O'Sullivan's reading. I haven't heard her before. There are lots of good things on during the week, so you should have a look at the programme if you haven't already. All very welcome of course, to the Sunday night event with Kevin Barry and myself, hosted by Malachi O'Doherty. It's in the Vin Cafe - so you can have a nice glass of wine or two as well! Must be good...
