other very special musical guests.

Prize, 3rd Prize Francis Ledwidge Poetry Competition 2012, shortlisted for
Desmond O'Grady Poetry Competition 2012, Bradshaw Books/Cork Literary Review
Manuscript Competition 2011, Over the Edge New Writer of the Year Award 2010.
Susan Lindsay was a founding Director of
the Creative Counselling Centre and Connect Assocs. Dublin. Having previously
had her book, The Love Crucible (self-help genre) published by Marino in 1995,
in 2011 she was selected by Poetry Ireland to read for the Introductions Series
& her debut collection of poems, Whispering the Secrets (http://www.doirepress.ie/) was published.
Take an obsession with words; add a splash
of weirdness, some theatrical training and you'd have something like what My
Fellow Sponges get up to on and off stage. They are a five-piece Galway-based
band with very diverse musical and non-musical interests who sing in three part
harmonyand are influenced by a wide range of genres and musical styles.
