There will also be a special folk performance featuring David Keenan, Cormac Begley & Libby McCrohan and Landless. Fighting Words will be represented, as will visual artists and music industry spokespeople in a series of panels.

Here’s what DCU President Prof. Brian MacCraith had to say about the festival.
“The success of the Anam festival last year was a clear sign that people in the area fully support the bid to develop a vibrant artistic hub in North Dublin. We believe this year’s event will be yet another step in achieving that goal and we look forward to welcoming DCU staff, students, alumni and the wider community to celebrate with us and enjoy an inspiring line-up of talent.”
