The Arts House

The perfect soundtrack to your Christmas preparations, with a show full of Choirs children and cheer from all over Cork!

What a legacy from just one man. Irish music was changed by his work, and he laid the foundations for so many more creators. Elmarie Mawe spoke to Professor Helen Phelan about the late Micheál Ó Súilleabháin, and the book published to celebrate his life's work.

Elmarie Mawe spoke to Sinéad Neville of Cork University Press about this stunning publication, addressing one of the most difficult periods in Irish History.

Conor Tallon caught up with regular contributor William Geoghan to pick his brains on a few good book gift ideas for Christmas!

Alice Taylor. National Phenomenon. Recognised Globally. Translated into almost 30 languages. Driver of community initiatives. Artist. Poet. Gardener. Festival Director. In her mid-eighties, she shows no signs of slowing down never mind "retirement" and quite simply we wouldn't have it any other way. She spoke to Elmarie about her latest book, published by O Brien Press.

Elmarie was delighted to be joined in studio by Cork writers Kate Durant and Michelle McDonagh, to celebrate their podcast, and chat about their love of chatting about books!!

Tickets on Eventbrite for one of the events which has become a tradition for so many - the telling of the tale of Scrooge in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" by Kieran O Leary, directed by Judie Chalmers. Each December this tale weaves its spell in The Goldie Chapel of Nano Nagle Place.

Waterstones Bookshop always has a huge calendar of launches and readings and new books to watch out for, and as we head into peak book-gift season, John Breen chatted to Conor Tallon!

Elmarie has wanted to have Conor O'Shea aka The Loungeman in studio for such a long time. So he finally made her Christmas wish come true! And he sang us through the second hour of the show. Pure joy.
