About

the brownbread mixtape

the brownbread mixtape is a monthly themed night of music, spoken word and comedy upstairs in The Stag’s Head pub in Dublin city. Each month a new theme is chosen and artists are asked to perform a set related to the chosen theme. The show is hosted and run by resident MC & poet Kalle Ryan and musician & sound man Enda Roche. All of the acts are generally booked many months in advance, but if you fancy performing then come along to one of our shows and speak with us about getting a future slot. Or email us at thebrownbreadmixtape@gmail.com with a little bit of info about yourself and ideally a link to some of your material online. We receive a huge amount of inquiries so we promise that we will be in touch as soon as we can! Be our digital friend in the following locations: YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | Google+

He has also performed his work at several notable literary events and festivals such as the Dublin Writer’s Festival, Electric Picnic, Bristol Spring Poetry Festival, Imagine Arts Festival, as well as the 2011 Culture Ireland poetry showcase at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City. He lives in Dublin with his wife and two sons.
