Riots Could Sweep Streets of Britain if Immigration Not Curbed ? Rachel Reeves Sun Aug 04, 2024 09:00 | David Craig
Riots could sweep the streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed, Rachel Reeves said in 2016. Yet the now-Chancellor's prescient warning was nowhere to be found in Labour's response to the current disorder.

Until this week, Keir Starmer told us the criminal justice system is at capacity, says Laurie Wastell. Turns out, we can clamp down on crime and disorder just as long as the target is the reviled white working class.

Voice & Verse with Dave Lordan & Niall Connolly

Report this post to the editors

This year's only Voice and Verse gig takes places upstairs in The Crane Bar, Sea Road on Wed 13th Sept, 8.30pm. Following last year's successful series, Neil McCarthy is testing the water again with an exciting line up of Niall Connolly and Dave Lordan.

Dave Lordan was born in England in 1975 to Irish parents who soon returned to Clonakilty in West Cork where he grew up. He began writing in his teens and his chapbook -18- was published by the English literature society in UCC in 1994. While at UCC he gained a reputation as a strong and dynamic reader and performer of his own work and he continues to read regularly to great acclaim. He graduated in 1998 with an MA in English Literature. In 2001 he took the Mphil in Creative Writing in TCD and in the same year was featured as part on Poetry Ireland's Introductions series. He received an Arts Council Bursary in 2004. He was runner up in the Patrick Kavanagh Award in 2002 and won it in 2005. His work has been widely published at home and abroad and been translated into Arabic and Serbo-Croat. The Boy in The Ring is his debut collection.

Niall Connolly is no stranger to Galway and performed on The Voice and The Verse last year at a packed Nun's Island Studio with Billy Ramsell. Following the success of his first two studio albums (Songs from a Corner, as tomorrow creeps from the east), Niall moved to New York to finalise his third album which is due out shortly. Described by the Village Voice in NY as 'too damn good to miss', Niall's well-crafted songs and poignant lyrics are starting to attract more and more attention. Released on the independent Cork based c.u. records label, Niall's music has already received airplay in Ireland, Toronto and Sydney. 'As tomorrow creeps from the east' has also bizarrely recorded internet sales in as yet untoured territories including
Japan and New Zealand

Doors 8.30pm
Admission 8 euro on the door.
