An Pobail

An Pobail, A Night of Stories, Songs & Laughter
Voices. Stories. Community.

Join us for another night at An Pobal, a warm, welcoming evening of storytelling, music, poetry and laughter, held at Antique Bar.

This is a space for all voices, real stories, a few surprises, and plenty of soul. Whether you're here to listen, laugh, reflect, or connect, you're part of it.

Theme: “Strangers”

We’re exploring strangers, the people we pass, meet, remember, forget, and sometimes never truly know.

The stranger sitting beside you at the bar.
The person you passed once and never saw again.
The face you recognised but never knew.
The person who walked into your life by chance.

There are strangers who remain strangers.

And then there are the strangers who change everything.

The stranger who became a friend.
The stranger who became a lover.
The stranger who offered a helping hand when you needed it most.
The stranger who told you something you'll never forget.

Maybe it's a story about someone you met on a train.
A conversation with a stranger in a pub.
A missed connection.
A chance encounter.
A person who appeared for five minutes and somehow stayed with you for years.

Or perhaps it's about being the stranger yourself.

New to a place.
Lost in a crowd.
Looking for someone.
Looking for somewhere to belong.

Strangers can be fleeting, familiar, mysterious, funny, uncomfortable, beautiful or unforgettable.

This is an invitation to bring us your stories, songs, poems and memories about the strangers you've met along the way.

Because every friend was once a stranger.

And sometimes, the best stories begin with someone you don't know.
