Known primarily for his television and film work, most notably his portrayal of FBI Agent Fox Mulder on the iconic Fox science-fiction television series The X-Files, actor, writer, and director David Duchovny didn't even pick up a guitar until his early fifties, but by 2015, the 54-year-old had amassed enough material to put out an album of original music.

The National Biodiversity Conference: New Horizons for Nature. We are losing global biodiversity at a rate unprecedented in human history. In Ireland, many of our protected habitats are in poor condition and 14% of assessed species are thought to be endangered. The number of plants, insects, mammals and birds that are threatened or endangered is growing year-on-year. This matters for people as well as the planet.

Expanding on the success of the inaugural Dublin Guitar Symposium, this event will gather some of the most distinguished and highly regarded scholars and musicians of the classical guitar. Over the past twenty years or so, an explosion in classical guitar research has been gradually redressing the balance for what James Tyler described as a 'neglected' instrument.
