Féile Dánnerstag Number Three kicked off with Irish language, singer and spoken word/slam poet Julie Goo (aka Julie Field) performing her work to original tracks by DJ Mike Millis. Julie and DJ Millis are frequent collaborators whose work can be heard at https://slcshelovescalpol.bandcamp.com/. Julie is a bilingual writer and singer from Cork who has performed her rap and spoken word poetry extensively, both nationally and internationally. Winner of the Heart of Gold Slam in 2019, her poetry collection Dána (Coiscéim) was published in 2021 to great acclaim. She has featured in numerous spoken word and arts festivals in Ireland, such as Body and Soul, Electric Picnic, TedX Cork, and Cork Midsummer Festival. She has a MA in Irish from University College Cork and is a primary teacher in an Educate Together school in Cork. After her performance, she was interviewed by Prof Eoin Devereux, CSPMC. The Festival Dánnerstag Directors, Prof Gisela Holfter and Dr Sorcha de Brún, thanked Foras na Gaeilge for funding this exciting venture in the Irish language. They also gratefully acknowledge the excellent cooperation and support from CSPMC, and AnaG, with thanks to the IWAMD for hosting the event. Julie's poems wereheard in the Irish original, in English and in German, many translated here for the first time by Dr Angelika Hansert and Dr Sorcha de Brún.
