Cúirt Programme announced

Last night the schedule for Galway's annual Cúirt International Festival of Literature was launched. Running from 24-29 of April, the popular literary festival will include the Galway Youth Theatre performance of Tejas Verdes by Fermín Cabal, a prose and poetry masterclass, dozens of readings by writers around the city, a Poetry Grand Slam, and the opportunity to have a bardic lunch with Little John Nee, Emer Martin and Irvine Welsh. There will also be lectures, excursions, book launches, and exhibitions. Plenty to do for all manner of tastes.
