Bloomsday Breakfast 2003 review
From the Irish Independent, dated Tuesday 17 June:
“Actress Elizabeth P Moynihan’s reading of Molly’s soliloquy went down a storm, while Gavin Friday’s Nighttown song, accompanied on the kazoo, was the highlight for many. “Beautiful, sinister, melodic, whispering”, enthused Senator David Norris.”

Gavin on ReJoyce Dublin 2004 posters
Dubliners may have spotted Gavin on posters (pdf / Jpg) promoting ‘ReJoyce Dublin 2004′, the Bloomsday Centenary Festival, around their city.
Rejoyce Dublin has asked Irish directors to film extracts from Ulysses. Director Shimmy Marcus (Headrush, Aidan Walsh – Master of the Universe) decided to focus on racism and anti-semitism. He filmed Gavin and Maurice and members of the Friday/Seezer ensemble busking ‘Fatal Flower Garden’ (formerly known as The Jew’s Daughter) on Moore Street. The 9 minute film will be shown on Bloomsday.
