Another Love Story & Young Hearts Run Free present ‘Splendid Torches’

July 10, 2024

YHRF present ‘SPLENDID TORCHES’

“..This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations…”  – Man and Superman (1903), George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950)

Adding to their previously announced stacked programme, Another Love Story are delighted to welcome their dear friend Siobhan Kane AKA Young Hearts Run Free back to The Manor to present ‘Splendid Torches’ – another wonderful programme of magical music, deep conversation, late night dances, The YHRF Folk Club, Special Guests & more in Moon River at Another Love Story 2024, August 23rd – 25th 2024.

Young Hearts Run Free has run as a freewheeling multidisciplinary event series since 2008, and all for the incredibly good cause of The Dublin Simon Community.

The collaboration between ALS and Young Hearts Run Free has been a meeting of minds, and a constant thread of delight over the past seven years.

YHRF at ALS has inevitably leant towards a culturally rich programme of intimate, community focused music, talks, dj sets & more  – and has found a home on Moon River, our intimate stage nestled amongst the trees on the banks of the River Deel, in our oasis of calm –  The Mellow Meadow.

YHRF return once more this year with ‘Splendid Torches’ – another collection of gigs, conversations, dj sets & the now famous YHRF Folk Club – two improvised late night folk session with literally some of the finest folk musicians in world & more – expect the unexpected, special guest appearances, and that trademark intimate and heartfelt atmosphere.
