Festival Opening and The Clonmel Exchanges Podcast Project Launch

This exciting new podcast project mentored by renowned podcaster Siobhán McHugh engages Tipperary writers Barrie Peterson, Dylan Lyons, Eileen Heneghan, Eve O’Mahony, Marie Walsh, Paul Harrison, Rosaleen Quinlan, Suzanne Walsh, and Theresa Jones to interview those who have loved and left Clonmel to make new lives around the world.

It was created by Artistic Director Rebecca Lenehan with podcast consultant Siobhan McHugh and Tipperary Museum Curator Marie McMahon. Technical production is by Michal Durik, with original music composed by Eamon O’Malley.

Clonmel Junction Arts Festival is principally funded by the Arts Council and Tipperary County Council.

Hear their stories via QR codes at venues, at the specially curated Cabinet of Curiosities (a mobile handling museum) and at www.junctionfestival.com.

The Clonmel Exchanges Podcast Project is a partnership project with the Tipperary Museum of Hidden History.
