Ireland, will be at Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library on
Thursday, October 10 at noon to present “Look Behind You: A Father & Son’sImpressions of ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland Through Photograph &Song.” This multi-media performance-lecture details how a father and son have

some of Northern Ireland’s best-known figures. These are complemented and
contextualized by Steafán Hanvey’s story-telling, which comes in the form of
critically-acclaimed song-writing, and a trained academic’s gift for presenting
complex issues in an engaging manner. Hanvey will appear that same evening at
7:00 p.m. at River City Ale Works on 14th and Main to present a solo-acoustic
performance of his of his new album and back catalog.
