John Banville parties on in Dublin

Irish author John Banville, holding a glass of what may be -- ginger ale? Chardonnay? Irish whiskey with the ice melted? -- chats with television presenter Miriam O'Callaghan at something called the Electric Picnic 2011 Festival in Dublin, Ireland on September 3, 2011. Per the event's official website, the Electric Picnic is "Ireland’s largest gathering of music & arts, and the ultimate rock n’ roll circus... With a great selection of music, art, theatre, comedy, food and holistic health, it’s the most delightfully diverse end of summer party on the Emerald Isle." That being the case, we're going with the whiskey on the rocks.
