Well done to Seán Óg Murphy, Cullen (pictured in the middle below), who captained Cork City F.C. in their first match against Bohemians in the newly established League of Ireland for Amputees, last Saturday in Midleton. A huge achievement for an exceptional local man! Lots more photos and videos below:

Rescheduled “Radio Treasures” on Cork Music Station Thursday from 9:00 to 11:00pm

Due to the fact that Broadband Coverage was not available in our Millstreet Studio last night (Tuesday) we were not able to broadcast “Radio Treasures” as scheduled.  William Fitzgerald kindly transmitted his own Thursday Show instead.   Consequently “Radio Treasures” will this week be broadcast this Thursday (25th Jan. 2018) from 9 to 11pm (an extra half-hour bonus!)…Seán R.

Tomorrow (Thursday, 25th Jan. 2018)….We feature the very best of music and song  and we have a selection of musings of a wide and interesting variety.  We reflect on last Friday’s Millstreet Gramophone Circle and on Sunday’s Vintage Event.  We talk about Killarney House which has recently been superbly renovated.

It was Eithne O’Keeffe of Boherbue (holding CD) who superbly presented her musical programme at Millstreet Gramophone Circle on Friday night. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

  We continue out musical tour to such places as Portugal, Italy, New Zealand, England, America, Medjugorje to mention but some interesting locations we visit musically.   We also feature interviews with “Winny” of “Mrs. Brown’s Boys“.  We listen to wonderful music from Lisselton and there’s more – much more!

At 10pm we continue to share the Years of the “8” when we hear about what happened in 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008.

And we especially remember those who have recently gone to their Eternal Reward.   In particular we recall the very special occasion at Buttevant Church in May 2017 when the late Marie Collins was present with her Family and Friends to witness the CD launch of the Shandrum Céilí Band with which Marie’s Family is closely linked.  At dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.  Many images of that very memorable occasion may be viewed on:    http://www.millstreet.ie/blog/2017/05/09/shandrum-ceili-band-cd-launch-on-radio-treasures-tonight

Do join us ….Feel welcome to text the programme on 00353 86 825 0074 (from overseas) or 086 825 0074 (from within Ireland).   Or better still use the chatline on the Seán Radley Facebook Page.  To access the programme find us on Internet Radio under Ireland/Country or log into www.corkmusicstation.com

The End of an Era in Millstreet?

It’s about twenty five years since the Sisters of the Infant Jesus left Drishane  Castle as their numbers began to get smaller, and vocations dried up. At the time they moved to the other side of town where they bought a house, renovated it extensively, named it Drishane House, and continued their mission. Alas time waits for nobody, and over time their numbers have dwindled further, to the point where only a few now remain in Drishane House. So it wasn’t with a huge surprise that Drishane House has been put up for sale, but it is a sad thought that the Drishane Nuns may no longer be in Millstreet. Details and photos of the sale are on Daft.ie.
