Tá ré úr ag bánú don phríomh-chompántas amharcalainne cois cuain, An Lyric. An tseachtain seo féin, ghlac Mike Diskin seilbh mar is ceart ar a phost úr mar stiúrthóir an Lyric. Ni strainséar ar bith é Mike do na healaíona ó dheas. Tá seal fada caite aige i mbun Amharclann na cathrach i nGaillimh agus dár ndóighe, tá bádh nach beag aige leis an Ghaeilge.. agus baint mhor aige le leithéidí Féile 2000 agus Project 06 .. Cad é a bharúil féin ar an mhéid ata ar siúl anseo ó thuaidh ó thaobh na healaíne dó? An bhfuil fís aige? Agus an bhfuil áit lárnach ann don Ghaeilge sna pleananna seo? Labhraíonn Mike go heisiach le hEoghan O Néill.
