James Joyce inspired concert coming to Smock Alley Theatre this June

Irish musician group Hibsen will be preforming a 15 song concert based on the iconic short story collection 'Dubliners' by James Joyce on on June 9 and 10.

The concert will be taking place in Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre and audiences can expect to be fully immersed in these captivating and original songs that are inspired by the 15 short stories of Joyce’s seminal novel.

The duo consist of Grainne Hunt and Jim Murphy. This concert has been two years in the making and Jim said: “Out of the challenges posed by lockdown restrictions, an inspiring collaboration was born. I connected with Grainne, who is a renowned Irish folk singer, in November 2020, and we wrote our first song Araby over a Zoom session.
