I perform live music and poetry throughout the entire tour. What sets this tour apart is that half of the time I'm singing instead of talking. Through storytelling I provide cultural historic context to the work presented, but the music and poetry are at the heart of this experience. All the works presented have a link to the work of James Joyce and other relevant Irish writers, poets and composers touched upon during the stroll.
