The Rolling Sun Book Festival, set in Westport, County Mayo, is a quirky boutique festival that indulges bookworms and connoisseurs of music, song and poetry.

This year’s star guests include Paul Howard, Matt Cooper, Stefanie Preissner, Diarmaid Ferriter, Clare Grady, Lise Hand, Rick O’Shea and Conor O’Clery, while the line-up will include launches, talks, workshops, live broadcasts, interviews, readings and more.

The festival opening event at The Clew Bay is always much anticipated and this year’s line up looks better than ever. The incomparable Lise Hand takes on Paul Howard a.k.a Ross O’Carroll-Kelly and radio host Matt Cooper in what promises to be a lively and engaging after-dinner discussion. Dinner with wine and music from Coda complete this entertaining evening.
