University Concert Hall: Neil Delamere - “Bookmarks”

March 5, 2010
8:00 pm

Seeing your photograph (along with those of 2 Ireland Rugby players, a national broadcaster and an elite athlete) on your university bookmark is food for thought. But this is what happened to our intrepid comedian, Neil Delamere!
