Good songwriting isn’t just about the tune, it’s about the lyrics as well but, too often, today’s bands find their music let down by their words: unfortunate combinations of the obvious, the clichéd and the absurd. In these lyrically impoverished times, a band whose words reach the standard of their songs deserves encouragement. In this unique event for ILF Dublin, celebrated blogger Nialler9 introduces artists whose turn of phrase is as sharp and compelling as their tunes. Performers to be announced and interspersed with a DJ set from Nialler9 himself, Rhyming and Scheming is a unique celebration of the songwriter’s craft.
