I have an 8 minute recording I made with material from the first poetry
gathering at Monster Truck Art Gallery on Francis Street in July last year,
when Vermont poet Namaya was the guest. It is a montage I created by cutting
up full poems and stringing voice-snippets reading verse of between 10 - 25
seconds long together. They alternate man-woman-man-woman etc, and with a
song by Damien Davies in the middle.
Davies was the original musical godfather from the International Bar scene
which produced Paddy Casey and Damien Dempsey, but stardom eluded him as he
isn't as photogenic as the aforementioned two, but has - some claim - the
better songs. He is awesome live, with a very powerful voice and well worth
a listen.
The order of voices are Orla Martin - Namaya - Shirley McClure - PJ Brady -
Orla Martin - Gareth Murphy - Alva D'Arcy - Namaya - Orla Martin - Gareth
Murphy - Clodagh Maynan - Damien Davies - Desmond Swords - Orla Martin -
Michael O'Leary - Shirley McClure - PJ Brady - Orla Martin - Gareth Murphy -
Shirley McClure - Namaya - Shirley McClure - Desmond Swords - Orla Martin -
Rob McKenna - Orla Martin - Rob McKenna - Orla Martin - Michael O'Leary -
