The Western Skyline Podcast – 13 January 2018

Karen J McDonnell

The first Western Skyline of 2018 has an eclectic mix of music spanning 60 years – from the Beatles, Cockney Rebel, the Alan Parsons Project, Carly Simon, Sting, The Script, and others. There are details of the Music for Galway Midwinter Festival and of the planned commemoration at Kiltartan of Major Robert Gregory, on the 100th anniversary of his death in WWl (see image). I hope you enjoy the show.
Feedback is always welcome!

Slam Dunk! Poetry!

Karen J McDonnell

Am heading to this tomorrow evening. It promises to be a rare night!                                      There may be some tickets left at the door, so do come along. Just make sure to bring rain gear and a torch. It’s dark on that country road as you move from the car park to the welcoming lights of the cottage and the tower. Let’s stir up a few of Yeats’s and George’s spirit pals, shall we?

May the best poetry slammer win!
