Book Launch!!

"Among the Breffni Hills/Felix Halton"

Piker's Lodge Lough Gowna
"Among The Breffni Hills" is the title of a book of poems composed by the late Felix Halton and set for a launch date of Saturday the 6th of December in the Piker's Lodge Lough Gowna on the Cavan/Longford border. So if you happen to find yourself in that neck of the woods and want what will be a great night's entertainment why not drop in and enjoy the craic. Anton MacGowan will do the honours on the night so there's sure to be plenty of music and song. The collection of poems has been compiled by Bridie Halton and is as they say ready to go to press. Felix was a gifted traditional poet from Mullahoran in County Cavan and much of what he composed was recorded on tape and transcribed here by Bridie over the past year. The book will retail at €15 and includes a number of photographs both black and white
