Join us on this visit to explore with John the amazing people he has encountered throughout his radio career.</p> <p>John Quinn has led an extraordinary and diverse life; working in the field of education for many years before joining RTÉ in 1975. Over the next 25 years, he worked as a radio producer and broadcaster, delivering some of RTÉ’s finest programmes. His radio work resulted not only in national awards and international acclaim, but also led to the publication of books such as ‘My Education’. Following the untimely and tragic death of his wife Olive in 2001, he produced a deeply moving personal documentary on their lives together, A letter to Olive. The book that followed ‘Sea of Love, Sea of Loss’, is equally powerful.</p> <p>John is also a much-loved, award-winning children’s writer. His Bisto Book of the year – ‘The summer of Lily and Esme’ – is a modern Irish classic and always in demand. His new book ‘Specky Becky Bucks’ features a bespectacled young girl, a Gaelic football fanatic, who dreams of playing in Croke Park.</p> <p>His novel for adults, ‘Generations of the Moon’, deals with sectarian strife along the border from 1926 – 1975. In his latest book, ‘Goodnight Ballivor, I’ll Sleep in Trim: A Childhood Memoir’, reflects his abiding and passionate interest in his own place.</p> <p>A Literary Event not to be missed, everyone is welcome and admission is free. Light refreshments will be served at the event.</p> <p>John Quinn is also appearing in Johnston Central Library, Cootehill Library and Bailieborough Library as part of Children’s Book Festival.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Culchie festival Ballyjamesduff</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT</p> <p>Ballyjamesduff to host 20th annual Culchie festival 23 to 25 October 2009.</p> <p>It started back in 1989 in Clonbur, County Galway.</p> <p>The Festival has found itself in many towns and villages throughout Ireland in its search to find this unique phenomenon which exists among us "The Culchie" or the Village Character as he was known years ago.</p> <p>• Visit the <a target="_blank" title="Visit the Culchie festival website - this link will open in a new window" href="http://www.culchiefestival.com/">Culchie festival website</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Virginia Pumpkin Festival</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:00:00 GMT</p> <p>The 2009 festival is the third festival and even bigger than 2007 and 2008.

Both artists are recent graduates of Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), where they studied textile design for four years.</p> <p>The exhibition entitled Whimsical Nature will feature a diverse range of textiles from their very successful GMIT degree show which took place in Galway in June. The exhibition consists of a range of both silk screen and digitally printed textiles with hand embroidery and a selection of chalk pastels and illustrations.</p> <p> </p> <p>Aideen Lynch’s work was inspired by the rural landscape of both Galway and Cavan.</p> <p>She has taken singular elements found in these environments, imagery of plants and animals, and has created a beautiful range of designs by silk screen printing onto hand dyed silk & cotton fabrics. She is exhibiting a selection of bean bags, cushions and a swing hammock, along with a series of framed pastel drawings and silk screen prints with embroidery.</p> <p> </p> <p>Jacqueline O’Neill’s inspiration for this fantasy themed project came from her love of classic childrens’s books. “I began looking for fantastical aspects in my natural surroundings including plants, animals, landscapes and people whilst also experimenting with angles, scale and colour”. Through these methods she has created an exciting range of illustrative prints on naturally dyed fabrics. Her elements of handstitching add texture and richness to the fun and playful subject. Jacqueline’s prints, although works of art in their own right have also been applied to fashion and acessories for the contemporary female market.</p> <p> </p> <p>Most of the pieces are available for purchase and commissions are also accepted.</p> </article> <article> <h1>An celebration of Turlough O'Carolan and the Harp Music Tradition</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:00:00 GMT</p> <p>Cavan Town Comhaltas and Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel are privileged to Celebrate Turlough O'Carolan and the Harp Music Tradition that goes back to the 17th Century.</p> <p>Gaelic Harper Ann Heymann, from the USA, will visit the Farnham House music room at the Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel in Cavan Town on Sunday 22 November from 4pm to 6.30pm.<br /> <br /> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Christmas Card-Making Workshop</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:00:00 GMT</p> <p>Christmas Card-Making Workshop for 8-12 year olds as part of the Christmas Programme at Johnston Central Library.<br /> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Screening of a Classic Christmas Movie</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:30:00 GMT</p> <p>Screening of a Classic Christmas Movie as part of the Christmas Programme at Johnston Central Library.</p> <p>All welcome</p> </article> <article> <h1>Christmas Storytime and Colouring</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:00:00 GMT</p> <p>Christmas Storytime and Colouring as part of the Christmas Programme at Johnston Central Library.</p> <p>All welcome</p> </article> <article> <h1>Johnston Central Library hosts a very special reading of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"</h1> <p>eclancy@cavancoco.ie — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:00:00 GMT</p> <p>You and your family are invited to explore the ghostly tale of Ebenezer Scrooge at a special reading in Johnston Central Library on Tuesday 22nd December at 7p.m. Everyone who attends the reading will be entered into a draw, with exciting prizes on offer.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Jack L in concert</h1> <p>dpeeters@cavancoco.ie — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 20:30:00 GMT</p> <p>“A joy to listen to, a delight, majestic, melancholic beauty.
