Navan Shamrock Festival/Poetry Readings.

Navan Shamrock Festival/ Poetry Readings.

Some members of The Meath Writers' Circle and Small Impact Writers' Group Navan
A small though appreciative number turned out for the poetry readings at the Meath River Rescue Boathouse in Beechmount last Friday night and with tea to follow. This was part of the Navan Shamrock Festival and only one of the many events celebrating the feast day in the town. Though perhaps a more central venue might have proved better for those not too familiar in the surrounds! The Boathouse though is impressive enough and with a sign or two who knows. Some of the poems were very good and I managed to record a few of them, so see how they turn out! Paul Martin did a take on "Majorca" while Gemma Macey gave a fine reading of Jimmy Byrne's "Vision".  Jimmy's book of poems "Conflux" was published last year and is well worth while getting your hands on  He is a member of The Small Impact Writers' Group who meet in Navan Library every Wednesday morning. Videos to follow!
