I got to see some brilliant live acts as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival over the bank holiday weekend, such as the trumpet-tastic Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and Keith Farnan’s incredibly thought-provoking Cruel and Unusual, in which the comedian told the story of his journey from law school in Ireland to the Innocence Project in New York City, where he helped people on Death Row facing execution. Sobering stuff.
On a slightly more lighthearted note, by far my favourite part of the festival was the one that allowed me to shop until I dropped – the Black Market in the large festival marquee on Custom House Square. Above is a slideshow of the many pretty, handcrafted things that caught my eye.
