OVERVIEW

    Phillip McMahon  Tonie Walsh 

  • Notes

    Co-commissioned by THISISPOPBABY and Project Arts Centre.

  • Synopsis

    Known as Ireland’s Godfather of Gay, Tonie Walsh is a living legend. For decades he has fought tirelessly for civil rights – for housing rights, women’s rights, and queer rights – while the country changed around him. Legendary DJ, club impresario, historian, activist and master storyteller; Tonie tells the story of Ireland’s seismic social change from someone who has lived through it, gloriously, after dark. And he’s here to tell us why there’s still fire in his belly.
