LMFM Late Lunch Listen Back

Sixteen years ago when he and his story was just coming to prominence in Ireland, Tomi Reichental paid a visit to LMFM and Gerry Kelly's Late Lunch Show, where he recounted memories of his childhood, growing up and surviving Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Marie Gleeson, ably assisted by Orlaith Carmody, has penned a powerful memoir and artist Mark Smith is over the moon as the restored Kells Printing works opens.

Marie Gleeson's no holds barred memoir, written with Orlaith Carmody, is a real page turner and well worth adding to a must read list!
