An exciting songwriting project, The Point of the Tide, recently culminated in a series of musical performances filmed in front of three audiences.
The project is a collaboration between the young people of Ringsend and some well-known musicians.
On Sunday, 5 February, at the Windmill Lane Recording Studios in Ringsend, it featured guest artist Jerry Fish, who grew up in Ringsend.

The project collaborates with local young people from diverse backgrounds and circumstances, aiming to celebrate the communities of Ringsend and Irishtown.
The project is funded by the Dublin City Arts Office, which commissioned composers and writers living or working in the Docklands area to co-write a song with regular people living or working in the locality with the goal of celebrating their neighbourhood and the history, vitality and diverse culture of the Docklands region.
The project brought about a gala concert in the Bord Gáis Theatre in May. The show will also feature performances of compositions and recordings based around several other areas of the city's Docklands - the Grand Canal Docks, Pearse Street, City Quay, Sheriff Street, North Wall and East Wall.
A musician and one of the project participants, Max Greenwood, told The Irish Mirror that Ringsend represents one of the oldest working class areas in Ireland.
''From being the dockers and servicing the maritime port culture. (It's ) one of the oldest sort of indigenous communities of Dublin," Max said of Ringsend.
''The participants, especially Jerry Fish, who's from here, are very passionate about the project and the area."
