The experience

Hosted by Lara O’Brien, the gathering gives personal writing a public voice alongside live music. It is an audience event rather than a critique workshop, and performers can read their work without memorising it.

Plan ahead

The organiser’s workshop calendar lists 31 October from 19:00 to 21:30 at €20. Book the Samhain gathering directly and confirm the date on your ticket, as the general Hooks & Reels homepage also refers to a different upcoming date.
