Donal Dineen is an Irish DJ, radio presenter and film maker. A pioneering force for a generation of music fans, Donal is renowned for his deep passion for music as well as a curator of unique multi-disciplinary events.  Current projects include the music podcast Make Me An Island and a documentary film Dance to Remember which will premiere at the Kerry Film Festival in October.

Dónal will be hosting a special live edition of his Once Upon A Sound video series at AATE where he'll be exploring music as a source of inspiration for creative minds working in other media.

Taking our cue from the Desert Island Discs programme first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1942, guests will be invited to choose a selection of audio recordings that they would take with them if they were to be cast away on a desert island as a jump-off point for a discussion about the role sound plays in their practice.

Details of invited guests to be announced! Follow @ArchAtTheEdge for updates. 

Ticket holders are invited to join us later as we continue into the night with dancing till late with Dónal followed by Mr Whippy Soundsystem!

Please note this event will be recorded. 

Later Event: 6 October
