Early Hours offers an eclectic mix of performance, poetry and music. Polarbear is one of the most respected spoken-word artists and storytellers in the UK whose unique performances combine the language and rhythmic patterns of hip hop with the day-to-day musings of a man trying to figure things out. Dermot Bolger says of poet Colm Keegan that his work “delves into the richest and the darkest corners of the human condition, without ... ever compromising the deep humanity at the core.” Throw in Miss Kate’s soulful blend of Blues, House and Urban influences and you’ve got a night to remember! Presented in association with axis, Ballymun.
