About
Aspects Festival 2024 is happening from 25 September to 6 October at various locations around Bangor.
This year, we will once again bring you a selection of writing events covering many diverse genres. These include crime, song-writing, poetry, politics, memoir, nature writing and storytelling, featuring writers from all over Ireland as well as talented local writers.
Our new line-up features some very special events that will explore careers and lives in writing. We are excited to bring you events featuring Bangor songwriter Foy Vance, who will discuss his favourite books, writing inspiration and stories from over three decades of honing his songwriting craft.
The poetry lover is in for a real treat this year with the renowned Michael Longley, Theo Dorgan, Paula Meehan, Victoria Kennefick, Emma McKervey and Mícheál McCann all reading from recent work.
Award winning writers Evelyn Conlon, Mary Costello and Andrew Hughes will discuss their recent books. John Hume: The Full Picture, will be a unique evening at Bangor Castle with John Hume's biographer and portrait artist Stephen Walker and Colin Davidson, where they will give revealing insights into the life of a political icon.
There are events that mix poetry, writing and music in Bangor's Ghost and Four: with Glenn Patterson and Anthony Toner and friends.
Whatever your interest, there are events that will challenge, teach and entertain.
