The venue was spacious if a bit airless downstairs and good variety of stalls. I attended one talk which was interesting and people told me that the ex-Panther speaker's talk was very good. I had a headcold and some fever but was glad I dragged myself out. Well done to all concerned in the organisation and running of the event.
Im not an anarchist and ive never seen indymedia. Ive never really thought about capitalism and all that but the bookfair was good and im glad i feel my eyes are pen now. im 16 and no one my age talks about this stuff. I used to think anarchists were crazy. I cant believe they are so different
Fair dues to everyone on this,it was fantastic
First time I ever went and i really felt a lot of sense was being spoken
Hopefully the economic downturn will help people wake up a little
This is the audio recording of one of the first morning meetings at the bookfair 'Left Unity? What sort of Left should we be trying to build?' Which was a debate between the WSM & ISN. There are contributions from the floor from "People before Profit' and the 'International Bolshevik Tedency'.
Audio is one hour and five minutes in duration.

This is an audio recording of the '‘Organising The Fightback’' meeting at the 2009 Dublin anarchist bookfair. There were three speakers at the meeting, Gregor Kerr a WSM (and INTO) member, an Executive member of the Civil and Public Services Union (CPSU) and a representative of the Free Education for Everyone (FEE) Campaign.

This audio is of the session organised by the Irish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign. The speaker is Nidal Saadeh, a leftist Palestinian activist from Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Note - this was recorded with my back up equipment which isn't as good as my main recorder. The first minute or so of the audio is very indistinct but it improves after that.

Ashanti Alston is a former member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army member told us about his experiences, the lessons he draws from them and what he thought of revolutionary politics in Ireland.
Note - indymedia has a 20mb file size limit which means that the only way I could get this file up was to reduce the sampling rate to 32bit, most of the others here are 40 but really they should be at least 48.

The bookfair was great, so congratulations to everybody involved. The range of books was excellent and the stalls had lots of titles that would otherwise have been quite hard to locate in Dublin or anywhere else in Ireland. This was my first visit to the annual anarchist bookfair and I'll be back again as it is an important political, literary and cultural event in this country.
Comhgheardais daoibh!
Martha is a US anarchist feminist and author of the classic anarchist text 'Free women of Spain'. In her talk at the bookfair she discusses the movement of revolutionary anarchist women that arose during the Spanish revolution of 1936.

This is the last of the audio recordings from the 2009 Dublin anarchist bookfair and it is the 'What is anarchism' session. Two sessions were not recorded, the one on social centres as the workshop technique used for not sutable for audio recording and the one on sexual health as it would have had too big an effect on the questions people felt able to ask.
This 'What is anarchism' session was recorded using my backup gear, this along with the fact that it happened in a cordened off area of the bar meant the audio is unclear at times and in editing I had to remove a couple of contributions which could not be understood above the background noise,
What is Anarchism at the Anarchist Bookfair 2009
Ashanti Alston, ex Black Panther and Black Liberation Army, at the invitation of the Workers Solidarity Movement, visited Ireland for the Anarchist Bookfair in Liberty Hall, Dublin on 7th march, talks of the significance of his trip to this country - this sturuggle, and of figuring out the way forward.

The first posting of the audio of the Ashanti posting above had to be compressed to 32bps because of the then existing limitaons on the size of audio files. Indymedia.ie has upped the limit and as 32bps means the introduction of a lot of compression artifact noise I'm reposting a 56kbs version which will be a lot better. I've also attempted to correctly link in the video someone tried to post above
Note to editors - the low quality version should probably be left in place as I suspect there are a fair few links elsewhere pointing at it
