Book ahead to claim your free arrival drink.This year's launch is centred on the theme I Am Here and there are few better embodiments of that spirit than our guest musician, Enda McCabe. A Dubliner by birth — who spent 24 years in England before returning to Ireland — Enda is back on the road after receiving a kidney transplant in October 2021, following almost seven years on dialysis. His return to performing is, in itself, a statement of presence; of life claimed back, of music that refused to be silenced. (Links: Dreamers, FolkFolkinoxford)His show combines songs, music and stories — most based on personal experience — delivered with warmth and craft that have won him audiences across Ireland, Britain, Europe and the United States. On the night, Enda will weave music with reflections on his transplant journey: a story of resilience, compassion and the gift of being here at all.Guests will also hear from Festival organisers, sponsors and partners. This event is supported and hosted by the Consulate of Ireland who will be present and to whom we offer our thanks. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/liverpool/festival-preview-and-launch-feat-enda-mccabe/100001998537431256 - **Event Categories**: festivals, entertainment, performances, music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Liverpool Irish Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Liverpool - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Liverpool Irish Centre - **lat**: 53.4184452 - **long**: -2.9527797 - **full address**: Liverpool Irish Centre, 6 Boundary Lane, Liverpool, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Festival preview and launch feat.
