Join us on May 3 at the Bewley's Cafe Theatre, where KEITH DONALD will be performing a version of his one-man play NEWBLISS. There will be music, a Q&A, and Keith will also be signing copies of his memoir MUSIC AND MAYHEM, published in March by the Lilliput Press. Doors open at 7PM. Show starts at 7.30PM. ABOUT THE BOOK: MUSIC AND MAYHEM charts the immersive and explosive life of KEITH DONALD, one of Ireland’s most important musicians, plus the golden decade of Irish music that he was at the very centre of. In a career that has spanned over five decades, Keith has played on over eighty albums and worked with artists including VAN MORRISON, CHRISTY MOORE, RONNIE DREW and LOUIS STEWART, among many others. His story begins in Unionist east Belfast, hurtling through vivid memories of a childhood as a musical prodigy, first performing at the BBC aged ten. His story takes him to the classics department of Trinity College Dublin in the early sixties, a hotbed of new ideas, before he becomes enveloped in the beauty of tenor sax. The seventies saw Keith building a music career in Dublin and Europe, coping with addiction, a crumbling marriage, and forging a separate life as a qualified social worker. It was the 1980s however, when his greatest breakthrough came to pass with the formation of the Celtic rock supergroup MOVING HEARTS. With the Hearts, Keith was tour manager, star performer and inspiration, alongside bandmates including CHRISTY MOORE and DONAL LUNNY. Their combined fusion of jazz, rock and traditional music created the soundtrack of an era and paved the way for a generation of Irish musicians. ABOUT NEWBLISS: NewBliss was written during 2014 and is a one-man show consisting of verse, prose and music. Keith’s journey from addiction to redemption is an inspirational story, complete with both laughter and lessons. In the show, Keith recounts the highs and lows of his six-decade long career, half of which was spent under the shadow of alcoholism. It is an insight into the life of a musician, from pit orchestra gigs to pay the bills, all the way through to sold out stadium tours.

It was very good. I drank a pint of beer on the top floor without even paying for peanuts. It was different from the previous brewery tour in Boston, except that I could enter the workshop.

Trinity College Dublin

读万卷书；行万里路

The most worthwhile attraction in Dublin, there are three worthwhile attractions: the first is the Book of Kells, which is the national treasure of Ireland, but you must listen to the audio guide, otherwise you will not understand the preciousness of this scripture; the second is the library gallery, which is the filming location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very quaint and unique; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting, the small disadvantage is that the price of Ctrip is slightly more expensive than the local ticket price, and the cost performance is not very high.

Dublin Castle has a long royal history and the attractions are worth visiting. The ticket price is only 8 euros (6 euros for those over 60 years old). However, the ticket price on Ctrip for those over 60 years old is 160 yuan, which is 3 times the price on site. It is too expensive!!! It has affected my high trust and good impression of Ctrip!!!

Ha'penny Bridge

Legend has it that in the past it cost half a penny to cross the bridge, so it was called the Halfpenny Bridge. It&#39;s just an ordinary bridge, but the hidden surprise is the seagulls that are not afraid of people at all, and the scenery on both sides of the River Liffey can be seen from the bridge.
