That was some show tonight on RTE with Delores Keane. It brings back great memories when many of these artists performed to full houses at the 'Meitheal in the Mill' in the Corn Mill Theatre during the early Ninties.

Too late to turn back…

Sean Donnelly RIP was a mainstay of the Corn Mill theatre. Safe to say that the Corn Mill theatre would not be what it is today only for him. In his lifetime, he kept many Diary-like Scrapbooks of what was going on around the theatre, in his time. When he died, most of his work was destroyed, burned in a fire in the back garden... However two scrapbooks have been discovered (Tony Fahy was luck enough to have kept hold of them when Sean left them with him) and they are now on display in Charley Farrelly's Bar (museum) in Carrigallen. We will be showing some of Sean's collected momorabilia in the next few weeks. To start, here is a cutting from the Leitrim Observer...we'll try and get a date for you.

Which Block.!!

JUST ANNOUNCED!
Seamus O'Rourke doing what he does best, storytelling.
INDIGESTION explores the madness of a simple rural man... a man shipped off to London at the age of 17…who goes through bouts of depression, obesity and anger issues… finds and loses love, comes back to Ireland to more misfortune and mayhem and yet there is HOPE.
Sensitive, hilarious, intelligent, absolutely compelling and refreshingly forthright. A man, whose name we never hear, tells us his story of a life, always slightly out of his control...
Tues 26 Nov, 8pm
Tickets €18/16conc.
