Our Krypton Son

Heralded as "One of the best songwriters I've ever heard" by BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen McCauley, the man carrying this weight of expectation is Christopher McConaghy, aka Our Krypton Son. Having just released his BBC 6 Music recommended second album 'Fleas and Diamonds' earlier this month, the Derry born songwriter will be talking you through the process of writing and recording a record described as "A thing of immense beauty" (State.ie), "beautifully melancholic" (The Irish News) and "unparalleled on this island at present" (The thin Air). You'll also hear of Chris' journey from renegade art-rocker in his early bands, to the refined balladeer he has become. It's a fascinating story that will be explored and soundtracked by the man himself.

This event will be an opportunity for fellow songwriters and fans to come along and get involved in discussion with Chris who will also perform some of his music.
