The Sensual Walk 2008 (1 Viewer)

[snakybus]

This is happening again this year in Howth this Saturday, June 14th, and there's loads of bands playing.

Mumblin' Deaf Ro
Carol Keogh & Band
Thinguma*jigSaw
Prairie Dawgs
Richer Than Astronauts
...and many more

In short, it's a walk around Howth Head, starting at 2.00 PM. There is no requirement to walk in a sensual way.

People meet on the top of Howth Head, near the car park, where there'll be live music outside (rain or shine), and folk will guzzle peaches and seed cake, a la Leopold and Molly Bloom in Ulysses.

Then people walk around the head, which takes about 45 minutes, and meet again in Howth village, in the Baily pub at 4 PM, where there's more food, pints and music late into the evening.

Loooooads of people are coming from all over the world, so should be great. All are welcome, of all ages.

Oh, and it's free.

(*Note, Kate Bush isn't actually playing, just in case the poster below might lead you to think that. It's part of the Kate Bush News & Information/Homeground KB fan magazine...uh, community. Some folks will sing some KB songs, some others will do some in Joycean theme, and some will just do their own music.)

Organiser Sean Twomey and his mate (not in the biblical sense) Thomas Dunning will be discussing the event on Hoot Radio this evening on PoweFM, according to KBN&I:

On Thursday 12th June at 8pm GMT there will be an extra special 3 Hour edition of Hoot Radio streaming live on www.powerfm.org. Your hosts will be Thomas Dunning (founder of all things Hoot and producer of the I Wanna Be Kate CD) and myself Sean Twomey (aka DJ Sock-it-to-me....blame Thomas for that one!).

Sounds deadly .... might have to skip the walking bit though

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

It's against my personal beliefs to do anything even tenously related to Joyce.
Having said that, the pub from 4 sounds dishy.

 

[snakybus]

In fairness, this is as tenuous as it gets.

Oh and, parents, there'll be lotsa little 'uns there.

 

[Jill Hives]

I oppose the name. Sounds dirty & smelly.

[Squiggle]

Now that Snaky has advised that we're not obliged to walk sensually (that bit was scaring me) I'm looking forward to this.

i got to admit, i'm looking forward to trying to walk sensually. i pride myself on the accuracy of many animal walks i have so i imagine i'm going to be quite sensual.

Should I bring a camera?

 

[Anthony]

who is playing outdoors and who is in the pub?

 

[Ex-User (5762)]

Should I bring a camera?

sure. i'll be wearing my mirror suit so if anyone tries to capture my sensual walk, they'll just be blinded by a brilliant light.

Oh, it'll be dirty and smelly all right

the name comes from The Sensual World, an album/song by Kate Bush that is all about the scene from Ulysses on Howth

hey don't shoot the messenger, I didn't make it up!

 

[snakybus]

who is playing outdoors and who is in the pub?

On the hill:
Walpurgis Family (which is Jeroen from Groom plus others)
Prairie Dawgs
Thingumajig*Saw (doing a Joycean thing)
Possibly someone else

In the pub:
Everybody

Oh, I got it. It just congers up images of braided hair, no shoes, and long flowing skirts. Oh and a patchouli cloud over Howth Head.

that's okay, they're rounding up sorts like that in a paddock and giving them a good ol' fashioned hose-down pre-walk, so it'll be grand

 

[snakybus]

(just messing, all hippies welcome - patchouli and all)

(just messing, all hippies welcome - patchouli and all)

Apologies, apparently I'm going through a week of intolerance.

 

[MDR]

For those of you getting the DART, if the tide is out, you can get off at Sutton and have a lovely quiet half-hour walk to Howth along Burrow Beach.

I'll mostly be doing Myxomatosis-themed cover versions at this. Bloomsday is also the first anniversary of the release of the Herring and the Brine.
