General Admission

They say that history is found in the grand archives, but Vincent Carmody proved it lives in the everyday scraps of the past. From old receipts saved from a skip to decades of dedicated genealogy, Vincent has spent the last 50 years acting as the custodian of North Kerry&#39;s memory. We invite you to step back in time for an evening of warm reminiscence, reviewing a lifetime of research and publishing. Vincent will sit down to discuss the &quot;flesh on the bones&quot; of his celebrated books with Elizabeth Stack - weaving together the social history of Listowel, the legacy of local printers, and the extraordinary tales of the people who walked these streets before us. Enhancing this trip down memory lane, Karen Trench will lend her stunning voice to the evening, singing timeless ballads that mirror the local lore and landscapes explored in Vincent&#39;s work. Do not miss this rare opportunity to hear history sing.
