Summer festivals are in full swing. I’m catching my breath after the ever fabulous Dalkey Books Festival which concludes this evening with Neil Jordan discussing his new memoir Amnesiac with Stephen Rea.

Next up is Hinterland happening in Kells, Co Meath from June 27-30. A stimulating mix of debate, discussion and reflection is promised at this annual celebration of arts and the imagination with Anne Enright, Myles Dungan, Anne West, Derek Landy and Fiachna Ó Braonáin among an electic line up of creators slated to appear.
