Marin Swords is a poet and a Wicklow Writer. His short film ‘Kathleen’s Child’ is a series of poems and stories about growing up in Ireland, in a time when some things were never talked about. ‘I called it Kathleen’s Child – a collection of Poems, and Things That Should Have Been Said,’ says Martin. Using family photos and other pictures, and with the help of poems and hindsight, the story comes alive on the small screen. Martin will present this short film on the night, which he hopes will inspire other poets and writers to record their memories for others to share. A compelling and touching story well worth seeing.

Ray and Postle are a two piece acoustic set from Wicklow town, featuring Rachel McDermott on guitar and vocals and Anthony Dickenson on guitar. Their music varies from high energy tunes to chilled out numbers, and they play a mixture of original pieces and some catchy popular cover songs. This is their first gig playing together and hopefully the first of many to come.
