Hi!!
|
|
August has arrived already, but this week the passing of time feels a little more significant than just turning another page on the calendar.
|
|
On Wednesday, Glen Hansard died unexpectedly at only 56 in a motorbike crash. He was known and loved as the frontman of The Frames, played Outspan Foster in The Commitments and starred in Once. Together with Markéta Irglová, he wrote “Falling Slowly”, which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2008. People gathered in Dublin to sing his songs, share memories and celebrate someone who had become an important part of the city’s cultural life. (His public wake will take place on Monday and his funeral on Tuesday.) Glen Hansard’s death shocked many who encountered his music and experienced his friendly and open personality.
|
|
|
|
On the same day, my friend and neighbour Brian Hamilton died at the age of 88. Brian was not famous and he was not always the easiest of characters. He had no family, but he did have a small number of friends friends. There was no gathering in the city centre, no book of condolences in the Mansion House and no national news coverage. His funeral is tomorrow and the people whose lives he touched will be there.
|
|
Fame determines how publicly someone is remembered, but it does not determine the value of a life. Glen leaves behind music that reached millions of people around the world. Brian leaves behind stories and memories held by a much much smaller circle. Both lives mattered albeit in very different ways and both departures remind us that our time is limited.
|
|
That may sound like a sad way to begin a Bank Holiday weekend, but perhaps it is also a reason to make good use of this weekend and every other day and to live life as much as we can every single day. Meet people, experience something new and enjoy the music, culture and community that other people have worked hard to create. Dublin and the surrounding area are busy with events this weekend and every weekend. The Bray Air Display today and the Rush Air Display are two standout events, but there is soo much more. Check it out and celebrate life.
|
|
Let’s see what’s on this week.

Donations in August:
minus EUR 40
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Veronica, Karen, Abigail and Claudia for their donations. I really appreciate your help!
|
|
I was hoping last week that we might be able to reach the funds required per month, but not so. We are at minus 40 Euro for August, which means we need to find EUR 240 somewhere. Not a great starting point of the month, but I have trust in you, the Dublin Event Guide community!
|
|
To keep the Dublin Event Guide going, I will find the events and you will need to help with the bills. None of the donations will go to me, it will all go to the Dublin Event Guide cost. The total cost per month is quite low at just EUR 200 per month, but we need to cover this monthly amount through donations to keep the Dublin Event Guide alive.
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide saves you some time searching for events or has introduced you to events you would otherwise not have found, then please help to keep it coming every week.
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https://gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http://www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also https://revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to http://www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

+++ BRAY AIR DISPLAY
The air show in Bray this Saturday is a regular component of the Bray Summerfest. There are some acrobatics and some fly bys and occasionally there are some international air show top act. The latter are missing this year, but if you are interested in a great summer day out and some entertainment in the sky, then this is still a good destination to go to. Parking is pretty expensive and requires pre-booking, so if there is an option to use public transport, definitely go for that.
Ground entertainment starts at 12:00 and the entertainment in the sky starts at 15:00 and continues until 18:00. The Air show line up is here https://brayairdisplay.com/in-the-air/ and the ground entertainment of Food&Craft Market, FunFair and various displays is described at https://brayairdisplay.com/on-the-ground/
–
The Fireworks on Monday (03 Aug) will also draw a lot of people and you need to plan to arrive early, but it never disappoints and is one of the best fireworks displays in Ireland every year. Sponsored by the Martello Hotel, the first rocket launches at 22:00, but entertainment will already be on site from 20:00
|
|
+++ RUSH AIR DISPLAY
With nearly the same lineup as Bray, the Rush Air Display on Sunday is a good alternative to the Bray Ais Display on Saturday. However, Rush still have a lot to learn. There is NO information about the start time on the website and NO details about suggested travel arrangements or parking. It might be a lot easier to get parking there than in Bray, but we don’t know for certain. (Last year there was free parking and a free shuttle bus Service.) I would assume a start time of 15:00, like in Bray, but possibly with a slightly shorter runtime. https://www.eventsinfingal.ie/events/rush-harbour-festival-fingal-rush-air-display
|
|
+++ The Day The World Rocked: Live Aid – Guided Tour
Every Friday at 14:00 and every Saturday at 11:00 a guided tour of the National Photographic Archive Exhibition “The Day The World Rocked: Live Aid” will take place. Live Aid was a world wide event in 1985 when two concerts took place simultaneously in London and Philadelphia with the intention to collect money to feed the world. Many of the greatest Pop and Rock performers of the time took part, from Status Quo to Joan Baez, Queen to Phil Collins and U2 to Madonna. Discover images and stories from Live Aid donated by Bob Geldof to the National Library of Ireland.
The exhibition is in the National Photographic Archive at Meeting House Square in Temple Bar and it is open every day from 10:00-16:00. https://www.nli.ie/exhibitions-events/day-world-rocked-live-aid
|
|
+++ Humanarium at RCSI – Heart Exhibition
Check out the brand new “Humanarium” at RCSI, 118 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2 It is an exhibition space that will make health sciences and medical research more accessible and will help us to learn how to live longer, healthier and happier lives.
The exhibition space and the cafe that comes with it are open from 07:30-16:30 from Monday to Friday and 10:00-15:00 on Saturdays.
The current exhibition is called “Heart: more than a beat” and is suitable for everyone, no medical background needed! If you have a heart, this exhibition is for you! ;-) https://www.humanarium.ie/
|
|
? +++ Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again – Daily Tour
From Monday to Saturday every day at 11:30 and 14:00 a tour of the “Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again” exhibition will take place in the Bank of Ireland Culture & Heritage Centre, College Green, Dublin 2, D02 VR66. Booking is not required. https://www.nli.ie/exhibitions-events/daily-tours-seamus-heaney-listen-now-again-0
Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. He received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. Heaney was born in Northern Ireland and lived in Sandymount, Dublin4 from 1976 until his death.
