The Song Cycle
(85mins, Dir. Nick Kelly, Doc. 2024)
8.00pm - Glens Centre Main
While not exactly inspired by Flann O’Brien, half-man half-bicycle Nick Kelly presents his second feature film hot on the heels of its award-winning premiere at Galway’s Film Fleadh. Former frontman with The Fat Lady Sings and filmmaker (The Drummer and the Keeper) Nick Kelly sets off to cycle from his home in Dublin to the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, carrying all his gear on his bike and playing shows on route, to prove it’s possible to tour live music without driving. He’s accompanied by his long-suffering friend and musical partner Seán Millar, who tracks Nick’s progress by bus, and joins him onstage each night.
Nick and collaborator Seán Millar will perform live after the film (in a local hostelry)
