Megan McGarry
I’m Megan I’ve been a SubSounds participant for the past few years and it was there that I met the band I play with now Groovekiller. We have released an album and are working on new music. I really enjoyed working on Unwrapped’20 as it got me to look at my community from a different perspective
Kara Doyle
Spoken Word Workshops
Local spoken word artist, Lyndsey Lawlor, has written and performed, Solas/Light, a new spoken word piece commissioned by Unwrapped ’20. Her work has been inspired by her own experiences of living in South Dublin and through live, socially distanced, spoken word workshops with young people from Deansrath Community College, Kingswood Community College, St. Aidan’s Community School and members of SubSounds, youth music group.

Through an online workshop Lyndsey was also able to engage a larger group of people of all ages. Participants age 8 to 80 from Kingswood Community and Youth Choirs have also written their own poems and have also created a new choral composition that will feature in Singing the Light, part of the Unwrapped ’20 festival programme on line.
