Raidio Corca Baiscinn welcomes Pupils of Coore National School on a tour of our studios.

Pupils from third class and above, were trained by RCB Volunteer Trainer Melissa McMahon and Producer Sallyann Marron to use recording equipment, and were then set with the task of asking parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours in their communities – how they used to play when they were children. The pupils came from Annagh National School, Coore National School, Kilmihil National School, Querrin National School, Clohanes National School and Gaelscoil Ui Choimin in Kilrush.
The project has been a huge success, with children finding out the intricacies of pegging tops, spinning tops, pitching quaids and marbles, to name but a few. They have also found out about the amount of (unpaid!) work carried out by their parents and grandparents as they helped out on family farms and businesses. There was no such thing as pocket money, children were just expected to pitch in with the rest. Similarly, summer holidays consisted of turning turf, making hay and harvesting vegetables. It wasn’t all hard work though and there are fantastic tales from people as they reminisce about growing up. No matter what generation they are, all had fond memories of Christmas and Santa coming to visit!

Coming up at the Culturlann Sweeney

Friday October 13th

Chris Wood 8pm

Tickets €20

Ex member of the Oysterband (Oyster Ceilidh Band) Chris Wood is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the un-official history of the English speaking people. With gentle intelligence he ​ ​weaves the​ ​tradition with his own contemporary parables.​ ​A self-taught musician, composer and song writer, Chris is a lifelong autodidact​ ​whose independent streak shines through everything he does. Always direct and​ ​unafraid to speak his mind, his song writing has been praised for its surgical clarity.​ ​​ ​His most recent album ‘So Much to Defend’ (2017) received ecstatic reviews: ROOTS MAGAZINE “Chris Wood might be the Ken Loach of songwriting. Very political, but at the​ ​same time full of compassion, and he grows sharper and more acute with each​ ​passing album. He’s good, quite probably the very best we have today, and we​ ​need him more than ever.
Hollow Point, his chilling ballad of the shooting of Jean Charles Menezes, won a BBC​ ​Folk Award (he’s won six.) and emphatically secured Wood’s place as a serious​ ​speech-master for the unofficial history of England.





Dates for the diary.

November 1st @ 7:30 pm Film Club – The Night Of The Hunter

November 10th – Donal Lunny and Mick Hanly.
