We were delighted to mark a new commission by composer Roger Doyle for Clonmel Junction Arts Festival 2023 as part of a joint launch with the composer on Tuesday, March 21st at 7pm in the James Joyce Centre.

Since 2021, Doyle has been working on music inspired by Joyce’s work. Finnegans Wake: Suite of Affections Vol. 2 was launched by playwright and novelist Sebastian Barry, with Vyvienne Long – one of the many top Irish actors participating on the album – performing an extract.
