Listowel Writers' Week Fringe

There are 74 snaps by Paul O’Mahony – a set he’s posted on Flickr – you can find a link on the blogroll too.

Only two photos have been edited – and none cropped. Paul’s a real amateur eh?

Yes, we need some up-to-date images of Listowel before the Festival. We’ll open up a Gallery for photos…

There are loads of photos from Listowel 2007 & 2009 already on the blogroll. We could also do with a few from 2008 eh?

Terry Jones was an experience. He performed in front of a screen. I couldn’t resist taking this.

The title’s an indulgence.

Tony Guerin's novel

At 1330 on Saturday 30 May, straight after Rebecca Miller read from her new novel, Tony Guerin‘s novel was launched by Billy Keane.

Billy Keane looked so relaxed, sounded so fluent, that he seemed a different man from the one who’d been in the ring with George Kimball.

Billy was speaking to his people, in his way, about his kind of book.

I’d watched a long line of people queue to have their “Tomorrow is another day” signed by Tony Guerin, including…

Bryan McMahon’s son read from Tony’s book. So did a young woman who said “my father died before J B Keane“. She may have been Bryan McMahon’s daughter. (I couldn’t catch her name

She described Tony Guerin as having “a massive heart” for the generosity he’s shown her father.

Please ignore the footage. I’m just demonstrating to the other blog authors how we can embed YouTube videos into the site. But cats, they are cute aren’t they?
