NATIONAL POETRY DAY

The very unique setting of the 12th century Romanesque church site on Church Island on Lough Currane in Waterville will be the venue for celebratin­g National Poetry Day on Thursday, 2nd May. Music will be played on a unique instrument, a fidula modelled on the stone carving the ‘fiddler stone’, which has been on the island for centuries.

This carving is, according to archaeolog­ists, the only one of its kind in the country. The fidula (fiddle) will be played by singer Seán Garvey who will be joined by poets Paddy Bushe and Kathleen O’Shea Moran reading poems of sanctity, saints and salmon! There will also be an open mic session.

A shuttle bus will leave from Waterville Community Centre at 11.30am and boats will be leaving from The Bungalow from 12.00pm. Bring a packed lunch. If the weather is unsuitable the event will take place in St Michael’s Church, Waterville at 2pm.

The event is being organised as a curtain raiser for the second Amergin Solstice Poetry Gathering: Éigse na Gréine which will take place in Waterville, 20th 23rd June.Fáilte roimh cách. Enquiries; 0872931463.
