Punks Listen — Punk Rock Gave Me Hope with Niall McGuirk and Michael Murphy
Punk rock gave me hope!
Dublin's Hope Collective have just released their latest benefit book - a collection of stories from Punks and their friends worldwide about what records and gigs make them do what they do. It all started with Syrian people being displaced from their homes and 2 punks in DUblion looking on, wondering what they could do. So they reached out to their contacts and anyone they could access on Social Media and asked them to write about their favourite gig. In Concert was the first release with a whos who of the Irish punk scene sharing their recollections. The Radiators, The Undertones, Paranoid Visions, Stiff Little Fingers, The Blades, Toxic Waste, DJ RepoMan were among over 100 contributors
Then came Covid and the 2 punks felt isolated but still had letters and emails so again reached out. Great Gig Memories was born with an international feel as people from bands like UK Subs, Black Flag, The Ruts, Paranoid Visions, Fugazi, Crass, Gang of Four, The Cure, SLF, Rollins Band, Stano, Shudder To Think, DOA, Hagar The Womb, Crass, Vice Squad and The Vulpynes agreed to pen some words about their Favourite gig. The 2 Dublin punks were blown away by the reaction from people as this book went into a second run of 1,000. 2,000 sales from a bedroom in a wholly DIY endeavour.
We asked the people to contribute, we collated the responses, we asked our friend Russ Bestley to lay it out which he did, we organised the printing and we sold the books. All completely diy as we worked to try and raise awareness.
Then the War came to Ukraine and we reached out once more. Punks Listen was our biggest venture. 290 contributors: all happy to put some time into raising some money for the Red Cross. We asked people, they overwhelmingly said yes. We were blown away by the response - it was like our record collection speaking to us Amanda Palmer, Suggs (Madness), Roddy Doyle (The Commitments), Mike Scott (The Waterboys), Gaye Black (The Adverts), Henry Rollins, Andy Cairns (Therapy?), Mike Watt (Minutemen), Josephine Wiggs (The Breeders), Kevin Godley (10cc),Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Manda Rin (Bis), Justin Sullivan (New Model Army), Hugo Burnham (Gang of Four), Stephen Rapid (The Radiators, Trouble Pilgrims), John Robb (Membranes), Andy Moor (The Ex), Tav Falco, Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady), Roger Miller (Mission of Burma), Dick Lucas (Subhumans/Citizen Fish/Culture Shock), Marshall Keith (The Slickee Boys), Joolz Denby, Jon Langford (The Mekons, The Three Johns), Dave Smalley (Dag nasty/DYS/All/Down By Law), Stan Erraught (Stars of heaven), Dunstan Bruce (Chumbawamba/Interrobang), Gaye Black (The Adverts), Attila The Stockbroker, Vic Goddar (Subway Sect), Thor Harris (Swans), Rob Moss (Artificial Peace/Government Issue), Jerry A.

This talk is about how 2 people reaching out looking to get help from our music community got answers. It is a story of punk, rock, diy and how people are ready to do good things, that mean something. From Dublin's Hope Collective to the World Punks Listen is out now

Opening Party: Beyond The Storm - Resistance to a Living Death Sentence
A showcase of new paintings and longstanding advocacy by Patrick H.
Patrick Hughes is a painter, poet, and sentencing reform advocate from New York. This installation will feature a series of Hughes’ landscape and nature scenes together with a selection of letters exchanged between himself and New York legislators in his years-long fight for the Second Look Act, the Earned Time Act, and the Elder Parole Bill. His paintings capture the beauty and expanse of nature, while his letters reflect the many constraints faced by those advocating for their freedom from within the prison. Paired together, and accompanied by a selection of his poetry, this installation will speak to Hughes’ enduring hope and the persistence required to actualize anti-carceral visions of freedom.

Film Screening: Cultural Capital
The documentary CULTURAL CAPITAL interrogates New York City’s status as an “art capital,” tracing the shift from experimental practices to a market dominated industry. Through artists and critics, it examines how artistic production is entangled with economic power and urban transformation, revealing a struggle over whether art can still challenge the forces reshaping the city. Filmmaker Malcolm Hearn will be present for Q&A.
Save Prosfygika: Film Screening, Discussion and Outreach
Come watch a few documentary shorts about the Community of Squatted Prosfygika and participate in group discussions on the potential for international solidarity in our local communities.
The Community has existed for 16 years and is made up of more than 400 residents, including 50 children. Many are refugees and migrants: residents come from 27 different nationalities, speaking 20 different languages.
In this time, the Community has flourished and survived several eviction attempts, in the process turning this small quarter of Athens into a hub for revolutionary internationalism and collective life. Today this fabric of solidarity and communal life is under serious threat. Let’s stand in solidarity with them and all communities in struggle!
Now two comrades are on hunger strike unto death in defense of life, the life of the Community. We are with them as they struggle to the end.
