The premiere takes place in Dublin in June
The National Concert Hall will be the venue on June 22 as Starboard Home receives its premiere.
Commissioned by Dublin Port as part of the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme, it features 12 new songs supplied by Bell X1's Paul Noonan, Paul Cleary from The Blades, Cathy Davey, Duke Special, Gemma Hayes, Jape, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Lisa O'Neill, Declan O'Rourke, John Sheahan, Catriona Lally.
"We wanted to rekindle the bond between the city and the port and the river," says Noonan who also serves as the project's co-creative producer. "It's been a wonderful thing having such evocative subject matter to write about."
