Author, Noel Bourke has wonderfully fond memories of his Summer Holidays together with his brother, Paddy in the Millstreet of the 1950s especially when they both arrived from their home in Kilkenny on their annual holidays being greeted by superbly welcoming Relatives from Murphy’s Terrace and Kippagh and beyond. Over the past few years Noel has dedicated lots of energy and time in comprehensive research. The fruitful result is this 272 page book “Millstreet Memories”which will very shortly be available to buy in Millstreet at “Wordsworth” in The Square, Millstreet at €15.00. I believe it can also be obtained by post for an extra €5.00. Some twelve poems are also included as well as excellent place name explanations. Blank and white photographs further enhance the publication. Had it not been for COVID-19 there was to have been an official launch of the book in Millstreet and in Ballydaly. Here we share some images of the book cover. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

“Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103
We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information on this Sunday evening’s programme – 1st Nov. 2020 at 7pm on C103. (S.R.)
Between 1959 and 1979 the three Williamson brothers along with Victor Sullivan, plied their trade as the Bluebell Quartet around the dance-halls of Cork and Kerry mainly. Sadly, both Eddie and Harry Williamson are since deceased.
This week on Where the road takes me, Victor Sullivan and Willy Williamson join John Greene on a whirlwind virtual tour of their favourite venues and recall the stories associated with them.
Being attacked by a mad cat, saving the occupants of a house and the house itself from a fire, and the night everybody seemed to be dancing without their clothes on, are stories up for discussion. [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103″
