Two years ago, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young went on the road with their Freedom of Speech concert tour, which they timed to coincide with the mid-term American elections. CSNY were icons of the peace and love era in the late 1960s, and were at the forefront of performers opposed to the war in Vietnam. Reunited to address another war in 2006, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were determined not to leave their audience with “warm, fuzzy feelings”.

Neil Young’s fascinating documentary of that tour pulls no punches in recording just how divisive the audience response was when they played Atlanta. There was nothing warm or fuzzy about the feedback when they launched into Let’s Impeach the President with the lyrics displayed on a huge screen behind them, just in case anyone might miss the point.

The rest of the season includes Elegy on Sunday 1st February, Hunger on Sunday 8th February, I Served the King of England on Sunday 15th February, Of Time and the City & Saviours (double bill) on Sunday 1st March, Conversations with my Gardener on Sunday 8th March, 32A & Kisses (double bill) on Sunday 15th March, Let’s Talk about the Rain on Sunday 22nd March, The Lemon Tree on Sunday 29th March and Summer on Sunday 5th April, all of which can be pre-booked on line at www.garterlane.ie or 051-855038 – No booking fee applies.
