The three of us behind CHTM! will be speaking at the seventh annual Dublin Anarchist Bookfair this Saturday, May 26th. This will be the first time we have spoken as CHTM! in public, so its exciting stuff for us. JayCarax will be speaking on his research of Norwich-born Arthur Wickss, an interesting character, and member of the IWW who died fighting alongside the ICA in Easter week, 1916. DFallon will talk on the difficulty of recounting “history from below” while I will speak briefly on Dan Donnelly, who was born around the corner from where our meeting takes place, in the Dark Horse Inn, Georges Quay.
So, spread the word, if you’d like to hear a little bit about Dublin’s other history, or to see the three of us in the flesh, and maybe pose us a question or two!

Class! Lads I can’t wait!
I can see where this is goin…. next yis will all have agents and if one of yer mates says “ar yih going for a pint” youse will be sayin’ “yeah sounds super, I’ll have my people talk to your people…
“You’ll be hearing from our lawyers, roish?”
What time are yis on at an where exactly? Whoever designed the info wasn’t very sharp when it came to deh basics. The bottle of wine I’ve just had has nothing to do with it.. roychs!
Ha ha! It’s the Dark Horse Inn pub FXR, which is pretty much opposite Liberty Hall on the northside, kicking off at 2.40. I think the talk is taking place upstairs there.
Is it opposite the Customs House? If it is I can’t remember a pub there but Google is puttin’ a marker near Luke street on the Quay. Two Forty is possible. I have to babysit at 11 for the sister, do a hit at 1 pm for my dealer, buy a fresh tracksuit in Pennnys asap after that and I should be able to get across Butt bridge in time for kick off. Don’t ya love this town!
The other way! Think closer to O’Connell Bridge!
Great to meet you guys there. My first ever Anarchist Bookfair. The CHTM session in the Dark Horse was great. Fascinating and loads of food for thought.
Stuck a post on the day up here

See yiz all next year.
I hope we meet again before it! Thanks for the comment, I always find it difficult to comment on your blog btw, ever consider moving over to a WordPress with one of your blogs?
Too set in my ways. Will die a Blogger. Or, maybe, it’s Blogger that will be the death of me.
Think I mentioned temporarily losing a Blogger blog through accusations of spamming. Apparently the appeal court found me innocent or handed down a not proven verdice and the blog was restored. Apologies if I’m repeating myself.
