A few months ago on the hottest day of the year,\u00a0Banter<\/a>\u00a0took up situ on the back of a truck in a Cork town square for a day of primetime yakking and premier league music<\/a> during the\u00a0Kinsale Arts Festival<\/a>. We were happy, the participants were happy, the audience were happy and the festival were happy so we\u2019ve decided to do it again, albeit not in the town square on the back of a truck.<\/p>\n Come Home For Your Tea<\/a>\u00a0is a two-day event happening on Saturday and Sunday October 12 and 13 in Kinsale featuring a bunch of Banter talks (incuding a day out in the\u00a0Charles Fort<\/a>, the spectacular William Robinson-designed late 17th century military installation), Kinsale\u2019s 37th Gourmet Festival and open-days in the town\u2019s many galleries.

But in a time when many families struggle to feed themselves and food poverty is a real issue, is it time for a back to basics movement?

What comes after social media? What will replace our constant tweeting and updates? What will Web 4.0 look like?
