We\u2019d another full house at Banter last night as we welcomed\u00a0Peter McVerry<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0a conversation about his life and work<\/a>. It was an engrossing evening, helped hugely by the righteous conviction and fortrightness of the man answering the questions. Many thanks to Peter for his time \u2013 and to the audience for their attention and great questions.<\/p>\n

That conversation was part of our ongoing\u00a0Living for the City<\/strong>\u00a0series which really seems to have struck a chord. To date, we\u2019ve also talked about\u00a0bikes<\/a>,\u00a0gaffs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the new Dubliners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our fifth outing will be about alternative spaces around the city. In recent times, we\u2019ve seen a huge growth in new venues and creative spaces in and around the city which have provided audiences with something other than the norm when it came to entertainment.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve gathered together a number of people who are involved in these new initiatives to talk about how these spaces have come about, what they offer to creative projects, what\u2019s the long-run prognosis for these venues, the role of NAMA and Dublin City Council and what advice they\u2019d offer to those seeking to do their own alternatives.<\/p>\n

Our panel:\u00a0\u00a0Orlaith Ross<\/a>\u00a0(The Crypt<\/a>),\u00a0Laura G Dovn<\/a>\u00a0(Block T<\/a>),\u00a0Peter O\u2019Brien<\/a>\u00a0(Upstart<\/a>) and Ciara Scanlan<\/a> (MART<\/a>)<\/p>\n
