From the creators of Ireland Is, Every Blooming Thing is a moving and uplifting spoken word experience presented by acclaimed poets Colm Keegan and Erin Fornoff, and produced by Sofft Productions with LIVE Network.

Built around poetry’s unique power to elevate the everyday, the show takes inspiration from a line by Patrick Kavanagh and features two central works: “Springshine” by Colm Keegan and “A Billion Tiny Things” by Erin Fornoff. Both poems celebrate life’s small joys — a vital message in challenging times.

The Longford performance will feature guest poet Darragh Coady and a special live music set from Dion Mercury, an Irish-based artist known for blending sexy drill, new jazz, rap, and R&B. With smooth vocals, infectious hooks, and a dynamic stage presence, Dion brings a fresh and unforgettable energy to the night.

An evening of poetry, music, and local connection — all rooted in joy, gratitude, and the beauty of the everyday.
