This event is part of the Limerick Night Time Economy initiative, supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and Limerick City & County Council.

Ormston House is a meeting place for the arts in the heart of Limerick City. Our programme is co-designed with artists and citizens, resulting in community partnerships, multi-annual projects, and cultural events that are responsive to the city and its context. We have developed a participatory model to connect curatorial practice with local knowledge and activism.

Mícheál is a musician, composer, producer and multimedia artist from rural West Limerick. He is the lead singer and producer of the band Bleeding Heart Pigeons, who have released critically acclaimed LPs both in the mainstream music industry (with Virgin Records) and as an independent DIY act.

Admission is free and the event is open to all of the public.

Richard is a presenter, producer, songwriter and actor. He was named the Limerick Person of the Year (2011) and won an online award at the Metro Éireann Media and Multicultural Awards (2011) for promoting multi-culturalism online. Richard says that the ilovelimerick.com concept is very much a community driven project that aims to document life in Limerick. So, that in 20 years time people can look back and remember the events that were making the headlines.
