So long and thanks for all the fish.
Just a quick hello and update from the ghost of Joineries past. We are now officially closed and have vacated the building; a sad and somewhat messy affair. God that place was dirty.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support and friendship over the years. We are greatly indebted to all of the artists that we have worked with over the last seven years, and to a loyal and committed audience. We are deeply grateful for all of the help, support and advice received from many advocates and friends. We had a ball, we hope you did too.

Desireland is a not-for-profit community based project that runs the Lifeline Project, SPUDS and the Sitric Compost Garden Community amongst many other endeavours. You can find more about what she does here http://desireland.ie/516/. We wish her very well and look forward to seeing what she does with the place.
If you would like to get in touch with either Miranda or Will (for example to claim or even buy a Live at the Joinery CD) you can do so by sending your carrier pigeon to [email protected] or [email protected]. You can follow Jonathan and Deborah at and www.facebook.com/gadetra respectively and you are likely to find Ivan at any decent gig in Dublin; go find him.
So that’s it.
Please don’t be strangers, we may have scattered to various parts of Dublin, Cork and Berlin but we are still just about alive and very much keen to keep in touch, work with you again and hear about your creative projects.
Over and out from the big J.
Desireland works on two levels: The consultancy develops and manages healthcare research programmes for clients. The principles that emerge in the process of this professional work are then further developed in not for profit community based demonstration projects. Examples include the Lifeline Proj…
