Bloomsday 2009. The Sextant Bar, Albert Quay, Cork
It's funny what comes out of having a pint with a friend. As has been known to happen when myself and Moray Bresnihan get together for a jar, something special was born. The idea to hold a Bloomsday celebration in Cork on June 16th to celebrate Irish literarature's most famous day was hatched, and with wine (freebie), food (again freebie-thanks Johnny & all at The Sextant) and a couple of sopranos (not the New Jersey kind!!) on board , how could we fail?
