Drumcondra Joycean Jaunt

Enjoy our delightful jaunt through the wonderful gem that is Drumcondra as we celebrate all things Joycean.

In addition to the “best English”, attendees at this year’s Drumcondra Joycean Jaunt will enjoy readings, poetry, songs and stories associated with James Augustine Aloysius Joyce. Carried along in a stream of characters, places and connections with the man and his works, jollification will again be the order of the day as we trip our way from Lower to Upper Drumcondra. Unlike Paddy Dignam, there’ll be no need for us to cross the Royal Canal as we’ll gather at 11:30 AM beside Lock 2 on its northern side under the watchful gaze of Brendan Behan. From Binns Bridge we’ll head towards St Patrick’s Campus DCU stopping and enjoying performances at amongst other places, Drumcondra Library. Whilst the event is free, please Register as this will help us with our preparations and with providing you with any relevant updates.

“It is called a tundish in Lower Drumcondra, said Stephen laughing, where they speak the best English.”
