Hear how James Joyce inspired Seamus Heaney.
Heaney once said that the English language itself is opened “like an accordion…at the hands of a musician” in Joyce’s masterpiece, 'Ulysses'. Now you can join us for a special Bloomsday Festival guided tour of ‘Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again’ as our guides explain some interesting connections to James Joyce, give you an insight into Heaney’s life and show early drafts of his work.
