Notes:
* Gavin Kostick's one man show ‘Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad
www.dublintheatrefestival.com/programme/display.asp?EventID=266
* Diarmuid MacDiarmada has been chipping away at the edifice of Irish music for longer than he cares to remember. As part of groups such as The Jimmy Cake and David Kitt's band among many others, Diarmuid got a lot of gig miles under his belt before settling down to further education. He has been composing and recording all the while and the results will be issued soon on the Pimalia record label. He now feels that he must take the stage to showcase the sound that has come to be known as ‘Oldy-foldy' to some and ‘Chamber-pot' to others. Some tunes from Diarmuid's upcoming Joe Meek tribute album will feature.

* Canadian comedian JJ Whitehead is headlining the same night in the Laughter Lounge as part of the Bulmers Comedy Festival, fresh from a greatly acclaimed performance at the Edinburgh Fringe and regular appearances in the Comedy Store in London
* The current line-up of Zorilla came together in 2005. Aside from a few outings the band has been sequestered in a warehouse in Little Britain Street learning how to play their music. Many people are bewildered by the Zorilla sound and music fans reel and swoon trying to think of a suitable comparison. In fact, Zorilla live in a bubble and know little or nothing of Yes, The Great Society or Sleepytime Gorilla Museum . Don't just listen to stories of people scratching their heads… come and scratch your own head, or do a crazy dance.
* ‘Move' by Conor Kostick - Reading from the book on it's launch date
