The mini-festival Harping On, held over one evening, explores the contemporary forms of this. Two panels at Lettrétage Berlin will feature adventurous Ireland-based authors and Irish electronic musicians.

The guests will be exploring their work and its cross-currents. The first of two panel discussions will explore music in the writing of current Irish and Ireland-based authors Wendy Erskine, Rob Doyle, Sinead Gleeson, and Liam Cagney. The second panel will explore how Irish techno musicians Sunil Sharpe, Kerrie, and David Fogarty are making waves on national and international culture, not least in Berlin. Ireland is the only country whose national emblem is a musical instrument, a
harp; and Irish harping is on UNESCO’s Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. What better time and place
than Berlin in 2024, where techno culture was just added to the same
UNESCO list, to take stock of music and writing in Ireland today. Following the panel discussions, an after-party will take place in
the Säule venue in Berghain, with the same lineup of three of Ireland’s
major techno artists.
