No doubt the true Smith afficionados know this already, and it's got 
nothing to do at all really with the John Cale mailing list but I read this 
in the paper (Irish Times) this morning:

"Patti Smith is coming to Ireland next month, but she won't be playing a 
regular rock gig.  Instead, the American singer, songwriter and punk poet 
will be hosting Liss Ard '97, a four-day cultural event in Skibbereen, Co. 
Cork, starting on September 3rd.  Ms Smith will be inviting a number of 
special guests to join her in acoustic sessions and poetry readings in the 
idyllic grounds of Liss Ard, with the aim of establising a world-wide 
appreciation of peotry, music and art in relation to nature.  This 
inaugural event will be Ms Smith's only European appearance and during he 
four-day tree-kissing festival. she'll preview material from her new album, 
due out in October."
