Literary curator Danny Denton tells us about A City and A Garden, commissioned by Sounds from a Safe Harbour in association with Body & Soul and presented as part of Brightening Air | Coiscéim Coiligh, a nationwide, ten-day season of arts experiences brought to you by the Arts Council. It’s a new state-of-the-art sonic experience that combines story and song produced by some of Ireland’s most exciting writers, musicians, and voice artists.

From Friday 11 - Sunday 20 June, visitors will discover, through free smartphone technology, the stories and songs that lie hidden in the trees and bricks of our city spaces. There are 2 trails across Cork City:

ROUTE 1 - Cork City - Sundays Well Road (Rose Construction hoarding) to Red Abbey Square.

A Northside rebel tells us how on a mad dash through the city streets she lost her heart - and various other bits of herself - to a lovely boy from West Cork in “Town: A Love Story in Body Parts” by Lisa McInerney. Narrated by Hilary Rose with accompanying music by Fish Go Deep.


ROUTE 2 - Cork City - Mardyke Bridge (Skate Park) to Bell’s Field

A lone man, invisible to you or me and stuck in some in-between place, slips through time as he follows a path from riverside to graveyard to hilly climb in “Now, Voyagers” by Louise Hegarty. Narrated by Conor Lovett with sound design by The Quiet Club and song by Seán O’Sé.
