Tim Plett is still away, so it’s my turn to take over the talkie bit.

I recently spent a few weeks travelling around Ireland, and in true ‘other Tim’ fashion, I’m going to reflect on that experience a bit this week. I’m going to look specifically at the political and social unrest that defined much of Ireland’s twentieth century, commonly known as The Troubles. If you don’t know what that is, and you want to, show up, and you’ll find out. With a little help from the music of a local Irish band, we’ll sort through concepts of division, political ideology, and the faint possibility of peace.

We’ll be in person downstairs at the VA Café (171 McDermot Ave) on Sunday morning at 10:45 and we’ll stream on the Facebook page.

Hope to see you there!
