A reminder about this excellent event that we will be hosting at Esker Arts on June 17th.

Nick Kelly World's documentary The Song Cycle opened to critical and audience acclaim last month. The film arrives at Tullamore with a Q&A and some live music with one of the stars of the film - Nick's songwriting partner Sean Millar.

Tickets are a steal at only 7 euro - this is the perfect start for festival season, and you don't have to stay in a tent to enjoy it!

https://eskerarts.ie/events/song-cycle-qa-and-music

Esker Arts presents The Song Cycle with Q&A and Music on Wednesday 17th June, at 8pm.

Winner of the Best Independent Film at the 56th Galway Film Fleadh and the Audience Choice Award at the IFI Documentary Festival, The Song Cycle tells the story of musician and director Nick Kelly’s novel attempt to travel by bicycle from Ireland to perform at the Glastonbury Festival, accompanied by his great friend and fellow musician Seán Millar who tracks his progress and performs onstage with him in venues along the route. A road movie, a musical, and an engaging, funny and moving meditation on art, mortality and friendship, The Song Cycle is presented as part of Men's Health Week and will be a fittingly feel-good launch for Ireland’s summer festival season.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with Seán Millar who will also be performing songs from the film.

Tickets: €7 (+booking fee)
