About this event

Poet Laoighseach Ní Choistealbha, novelist Jackie Mac Donncha and poet and musician Cúán de Búrca read from new work inspired by their journeys on the bus.

Tar linn ar aistear draíochta an 424, an bus a thógann muid ó dhorchadas na maidine thiar i gCarna tríd bhóithre casta Chonamara go dtí an Ghealchathair. Fág ‘aiteann, fraoch, fiataíl, srutháin, claíocha, tolláin, gleannta’ i do dhiaidh agus tú ar oilithreacht i dtreo na Gaillimhe.

Everyone who lives in Conamara or who has visited knows the road the 424 bus takes west from Galway city, along the coast, past lakes, bogs and hills to quiet fields where men and cattle stop to gaze at the colourful bus.

With music from Trá Pháidín, whose first album was An 424, and visuals from broadcaster and film maker Donal Dineen. Curated by Majella Ní Chríocháin.
