A flow of words December 2023

We have fairy tales and weary tales.  Poems of home and coming home.  A modern take of an old carol.  A tale of a precious gift received from a mother, cherished for more than six decades.  Silent nights and Christmas candlelight from long ago.  We have an usual partnership of a religious leader and an aging rocker running a food hut in the wilds of Cork that begs the question who is Christmas for anyway?   With Frances Browner, Carol McNamara, Madge O’Callaghan. Liam Cahalan, Anthony Lenihan Anne McDonald, Tom Kennedy and Patricia Donnellan.  Music by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl, The Christmas Guys, Mark Geary, Enya and The Clancy Brothers.   

In 2023 we said farewell to two of our ‘A Flow of Words’ contributors Michael O’ Gorman and Marcella McNamara. We remember them this season and dedicate this show to their memory as we replay their Christmas pieces. Suaimhneas síoraí dóibh.  

Happy Christmas and thank you to all fellow Radio and Arts Festival volunteers and to all the contributors and listeners to ‘A Flow of Words’.

Pat spoke to Dena McGrath and Paula Carroll at  the recent launch of the creativity for wellbeing initiative developed by Clare County Council's Healthy Clare and Age Friendly Clare programmes in partnership with Cuimhneamh an Chláir (Clare Memories), IFA Clare Farm Families Committee and the HSE's Connecting for Life teams. The project which was funded by Creative Ireland - Clare targeted 5 Mart areas across County Clare (Ennis, Kilfenora, Kilrush, Scariff and Sixmilebridge), and worked with the farmers in those areas to graphically capture Past, Present and Future farming from our farmers perspective.
