From Dylan’s Chronicles to Keith Richards Life, from High Fidelity to The Commitments, writers and musicians have sought to explain and reveal TO the readers, writers, performers and songwriters the essence and wonder of great music and song.
Critics and commentators fill papers, magazines and blogs trying to capture that amazing gig, hypnotic beat or killer pop hook - yet so many of us struggle to find the words to describe the magic and power of music and the feelings it conjures in us.
So why do we do it? Can language ever truly capture the essence of rock and roll, jazz or classical music? This diverse panel comprises three people whose great passions are words and music, and whose lengthy careers have been steeped in both. Throw in a few opinionated and heated contributions from the floor and this gig could get noisy.
Paul Charles is an author, promoter and agent whose clients have included The Buzzcocks, Tom Waits and Crosby, Stills and Nash. John Waters is an author, journalist and songwriter whose career began at Irish music magazine Hot Press in the early 1980s. Marcus Connaughton is a veteran of the Irish record industry and, most recently, the author of Rory Gallagher: His Life and Times.
Followed by Live Music from Gavin MacDermott
