Providing the stirring musical accompaniment are Eddie O’Donnell on guitar and keyboard and Tom Byrne on accordion andharmonica. Ken Edwards returns with his treasured banjo while actress Alice Bergmannis delighted to come back and read as part of the event. Brendan, Alice and Ken will be flying in from the States for the occasion, Dr Eamonn Baker will introduce and there may be a surprise addition on stage!

Of this annual event Anne says ‘Seamus Heaney Homeplace holds a special place in all our hearts. We are delighted and truly welcome this opportunity to share an afternoon with a receptive audience in the intimate space of The Helicon.’
