Saturday 1pm at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre studios.

Partly reminded of Disco Pigs in the 1990s but different. Meticulous choreography and acting, acute observations of GAA events, and fun. Cropped pop songs lubricated the delivery throughout, plus a twisted version of another well-known anthem. Seeing it outside on a small island only added richness.
