It’s our second year in a row at CultureTECH, the week-long messy celebration of creative innovation which runs in Derry from September 15 to 21. We had a fantastic time at the festival last year – and we’ve also enjoyed ourselves enormously on visits to the Maiden City with Other Voices in ‘13 and ’14 – so it was an easy decision to say yes when we got the call from Mark Nagurski to come to the northwest again.
Our line-up for the Banter Big Kahunas evening is as follows:
Jamie Byng – publisher and managing director of Canongate
John Leland – New York Times journalist and author of Hip: The History
Steve Carson – Head of BBC Northern Ireland Productions and formerly Chief Editorial Advisor and Director, Factual Group at RTÉ
Hannah Donovan – Co-founder and design Director at This Is My Jam and previously Head of Creative for Last.fm
The event will take place at the historic St Augustine’s, Palace Street, Derry on Culture Night, Friday September 19 from 7pm. Admission is free, but advance booking is required and can be done here.
