 Wednesday, February 22, 19:30-21:00 Performance by Poet Neal McCarthy (Ireland) Poet Neil McCarthy returns for a night of stories and poems. In recent years Neil has toured as part of The Voice & The Verse with stalwarts Niall Connolly and David Rynhart. This visit quite possibly might coincide with the launch of his new live CD, but will quite definitely be filled with new material, new laughs and a few verbal punches to the solar plexus. Neil will be joined by special musical guests Bryan Benner (US) and Ultan Conlon (Ire)

McCarthy hates talking about himself in the third person, but... he lives in the west of Ireland where he works for his employers, his sins, his mistakes and those bunch of bastards that send him credit card bills every month. It's not all doom and gloom and in recent years his poetry has traveled with him around the world, popping up in the occasional journal, magazine and anthology. In 2005 he hosted The Voice and The Verse series of performances in Galway and in 2006 he dug from Australia clean through to Ireland to start all over again. Maverick Press was launched along with fellow partner in (c)rymhe, Stephen Murray. From 2007-2010 The Voice & The Verse featured at The Prague Fringe Festival and who knows what will happen in the future ladies and gents. Who knows, I ask ya.  Neil McCarthy has published his poetry widely including The New York Quarterly (USA), Southern Ocean Review (New Zealand), The Dalhousie ReviewPoetry Salzburg Review (Austria), Dream Catcher & Iota (UK), as well as in an anthology of contemporary Irish-Canadian poetry. (Canada),

Ultan Conlon is a singer-songwriter from Galway, Ireland. Despite honing his craft on the Irish music circuit for a number of years, it was 2010 before he released his critically acclaimed debut album 'Bless Your Heart' which was described as ‘the most impressive Irish debut since Damien Rice’s O’, Olaf Tyaransen, Hotpress & Evening Herald. His emotive and intelligent lyrics have gained him many fans over the years. Legendary folk singer John Martyn sang with Ultan on his song Really Gone in 2006. Ultan has recently covered one of Martyn's earliest songs Back to Stay, for the tribute album Johnny Boy Would Love This also featuring Snow Patrol, Paulo Nutini, The Cure, David Gray, Beck, Donovan, Lisa Hannigan and The Swell Season amongst others. Ultan also put his talents to use in a different area this year, acting as soundtrack producer and music supervisor for the forthcoming feature film 'Seven Songs For Amy' aswell as contributing original songs and arranging the score. May of this year will see the release of his eagerly awaited second album Songs of Love so Cruel. at Discover Budapest/Treehugger Dan’s Lazar u. 16,
