We’d a spin off event Saturday June 19th, with a Bloop Groop // Pearse Park Community Gardens collab. A ton of Bloop Groop members hail from Dublin 12, so where better to meet like-minded neighbours who care about community, creativity - and having the craic.
Nestled behind the Swan Leisure Swimming Pool car park on Windmill Road, Pearse Park Community Garden is a vibrant green haven run by local volunteers. Established in 2023 following the insights of the Pearse Park Survey, the garden provides an inclusive space where people of all ages and abilities grow food, learn new skills, and build community connections.
Top Blooper Karl is also one of the main organisers of the garden, and he is keen to bring more cultural events to this unique space, So after the day’s work was completed, Karl showed everyone the basics of modular with the help of his lovely assistant Ruby, they made a patch from scratch together. Then a few short sets: Gary + Katie did their Elektrons + Blarps, Daire performed a Phronics Overture, and Trev finished up with his killer set.
This pilot event was a great success - we made music and pals, and et cake, in the unique and vibrant suburb of Crumlin in Dublin 12.
