This special Muldoon’s Picnic ended the first day of the British Library’s Irish Writers’ Weekend 2024.
For over a decade, Paul Muldoon’s feast of music and storytelling has brought together renowned guests from the worlds of arts and letters. Named after a popular New York vaudeville act and an Irish-American knockabout farce from the 1880s Muldoon’s Picnic has its regular home at the Irish Arts Center in New York, making occasional forays into the wider world.
In this recording, Paul is joined by special guests including writers Kevin Barry, Lisa McInerney and Lucy Caldwell.
Featuring Dublin’s legendary Horslips, whose fusion of traditional Irish tunes and rock rhythms has brought them a dedicated following from 1970 onwards.
