Dublin Worldcon 2019

So, we came back from Dublin Worldcon late on Monday. Our initial reason for being there was to attend the amazing Worldcon Philharmonic Concert. As I explained in my last post, the programme included three short movements of an ambitious work-in-progress: an opera based on Dotter of her Father’s Eyes.

You can see from the programme that she was in very good company indeed!

It was impossible to take good photographs of the dance from back in the auditorium. They were moving so fast!

We also participated in other events. Bryan was on a panel with Declan Shalvey (see below).

As we seem to have forgotten to take any photos of the lovely people we socialised with over the weekend, there’s a restaurant photo below shamelessly purloined on Facebook.
