Curated by The Gloaming's Thomas Bartlett and the prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, Blood & The Moon sees international performers including the amazing Anna Calvi (pictured), folk icon Sam Amidon and The Go-Betweens' Robert Forster creating new songs from the works of W.B. Yeats. Other star turns include Justin Vivian Bond, Cathal Coughlan, Adrian Crowley, and The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto writer Pat McCabe. The concerts also includes new commissions from composers Nico Muhly and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly and live imaging by Tom Kalin.
Tickets for the shows on Sunday 13, and Monday 14 September are available now, priced at €37.50 and €32.50.
