James Joyce:

Said to be the greatest writer in the English language of the 20th century.  I’ll give you an introduction to Ulysses which may tempt you to ‘have a go’ as this epic of events in Dublin on the 16th of June 1904.

 


 

Molly Malone

Hear about the fictitious fish vendor of Dublin and the ‘interesting’ nicknames that we Dubliners have for her statue.  Join with me as I sing a verse of the song!


 

Oscar Wilde:

A witty introduction to Oscar Wilde. Find out about Dublin’s favourite playwright and his famously witty sayings. You will definitely find some of them useful in everyday life.

 

Daniel O’Connell:

One of the most famous Irishmen of the 19th Century. I’ll tell you how he managed to address gatherings of (they say) up to 1 million people. I’ll also recount how it can go horribly wrong. Check this presentation to find out more.

 

Guinness:

So much a part for your visit to Dublin. You will hear lots of references to the famous ‘Black Stuff’. Yes it’s an acquired taste, but it’s a taste that is acquired easily! I tell you the story of Guinness that will whet your thirst.
