Writer Anne Marie Kennedy and singer-songwriter Don Stiffe had joined forces for several gigs together pre-2020.

Then Covid arrived.

They now reunite for their first gig since the pandemic, and will be performing at the Galway Fringe Festival next Friday, July 19, intermingling poetry, prose, songs and stories for their show in The Mechanics’ Institute at 8pm.

Anne Marie’s writing and recitations cross many traditions – prose, poetry, spoken word in the tradition of a seanchaí – while Don’s renditions of his lyrical and compelling songs and sensitive guitar-playing, have delighted audiences all over the world.

The two will present material that explores the human condition, relationships, love, loss and the natural world, eloquent blends of pathos and comedy with Don’s superb vocals.

Tickets cost €15 and are available on Eventbrite and from the Galway Fringe Festival website.
