Throw down your cloak & claim The Liberties as Brigid’s land on Feb 5th!
Make history with us as we celebrate Ireland’s first Goddess bank holiday with a wild evening cabaret that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you unleash your inner pagan Goddess & singe the eyebrows off ya!
Hosted by The Wildest of Gees in this city, StoneyBanter’s own, The Wild Geeze! Ballinasloe native Bridget (for the night that’s in it) Larkin & burlesque chanteuse Miss Lavelle make up this comedy duo and they promise a night of music, comedy, burlesque as they present their favourite Brigid-enriched performers.
The Liberties own & Berlin exiled, 82 year old Shamanic Gee Bag Growler will grace us with her presence. The personified voice of your mother, your sister, your aunt who loves her few mojitos and Ireland’s misogynist past & the beauty that lies in this land while celebrating Brigid’s legacy.
The Dirt Bird! If you want to see Carlow’s own Peig Sayers on acid, then you’ve come to the right show. Accidental entrepreneur, “Gas Bitch” & local legend. Enjoy a whirlwind of crafty cabaret with hilarious songs & puppetry.
Sista Gift! RTE Prop maker by day & Celtic goddess hard shoe dancing shaman by night! Take the gift that sista brings, the gift of storytelling, dance, truth & craic!
And finally the wonderful Nina Hynes.
Nina is truly one of Ireland’s great music makers. A true Brigid spirit, her driving force is the hunger to connect with other beings through spatial exploration using voice, words, stories, bodies, frequencies and sounds.
Let’s celebrate the new bank holiday together with an array of stunning female Irish artists.
