Scene + Heard: Literary feasts and gigs galore

LITERARY FEASTS: The county of Cork will provide an intersection for the worlds of music and literature during the summer at several events. Among them is the West Cork Literary Festival (July 12-19), which will include the visit of Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl. Lismore Castle has also unveiled the line-up for its children’s book event, Towers and Tales (Saturday, May 4), with Mortal Engines creator Philip Reeve topping the bill.

GIG WISE: All Together Now in Co Waterford on the August weekend is already sold out, so the new additions to the line-up will only up the FOMO factor for those who aren’t going.
