A little snapshot of our inaugural festival on Saturday... 🌊📚

A heartening story: @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social & Sean Smith set up a literary festival just four months ago in their local community of Rush. Every event, inc. John Banville, me & @urchinette.bsky.social, @andreamara.bsky.social & Catherine Ryan Howard, is sold out www.rushfestivalofwriting.com

Our inaugural festival on Saturday couldn't have gone any better! From discussions on writing to children's workshops, crime fiction to literary icons and everything in-between, the first RUSH FESTIVAL OF WRITING was a hit 🌊 📚 Here's a selection of photos from Saturday - more to follow!

Another excellent episode of Get Around To It with @sweetoblivion.bsky.social and @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social . They’ve had some excellent interviews and this one with author Louise O’Neill is no exception. sponsored by us! #speirgorm podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/g...

HUGELY appreciative of Gary and Imbibe's sponsorship of our Get Around to It podcast - they're a company that does great things for the community, for charity and now for the arts, too 🙌

Latest ep of this podcast dropped today. Even if we weren’t sponsoring it’d be 1st pod on my rotation. Picked up many book, film, music recommendations from @sweetoblivion.bsky.social & @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social . Follow/listen. These things need support. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/g...

This week's episode of Get Around To It (sponsored by @imbibecoffee.bsky.social ) is a replay of our Deep Dive where we spill what it's really like to interview celebrities... includes when @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social met Enya & I was mesmeriesed by Paul Mescal podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/d...

So glad we sponsored the "Get Around To It" pod with @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social and @sweetoblivion.bsky.social . Latest ep features Pluribus, Dublin Gothic at The Abbey, Joanne McNally and loads of other stuff. Please follow listen and share. It's really really good! linktr.ee/getaroundtoit

What's that? Oh, you want to listen to an Irish arts & culture podcast fronted by two gals who this week chat about... The Walsh Sisters, why Cillian Murphy's film Steve left us shook, Taylor Swift's mid album, A Want In Her AND interview director Hugh O'Conor? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Ever wondered what it's really like to interview celebrities - and what happens when things don't quite go to plan? 🙃 In the new episode of GET AROUND TO IT, myself and Aoife talk about our best (and worst) interviews... there may be a few juicy stories 👀 linktr.ee/getaroundtoit

Very excited to say myself and @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social have launched an Irish arts & culture podcast! It’s a reboot of our former podcast, only bigger and better. Get Around To It will be weekly, with a deep-dive episode every second week podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/g...

Thanks to @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social for including the TPOE podcast in this great list of Irish podcasts. The first line of the description is basically THE reason why I still do the pod www.rte.ie/culture/2025...
