Take an obsession with words; add a splash of weirdness, DEAD GOOD POETRY & MUSIC SOCIETY

 THIS FRIDAY

Take an obsession with words; add a splash of weirdness, some theatrical training and you'd have something like what My Fellow Sponges get up to on and off stage. They are a five-piece Galway-based band with very diverse musical and non-musical interests who sing in three part harmony and are influenced by a wide range of genres and musical styles.

Following the success of Galway Rape Crisis Centre’s Culture Night event, their DEAD GOOD POETRY & MUSIC SOCIETY will return in association with Over the Edge at Galway Rape Crisis Centre on Friday 23 November, 7-10pm . This is a free event and the GRCC is proud to present poets Marie Cadden and Susan Lindsay , music from My Fellow Sponges and some other very special musical guests.
Venue: Galway Rape Crisis Centre, ‘The Lodge’, Forster Court , Galway City.
