CCR 946

The 100th Claremorris Agricultural Show will take place at the Claremorris athletics track on Sunday next.

This famous event will be bigger than ever this year. It will include the first Connacht Truck Show, a fashion show, wrestling, sand sculptures, bubble soccer, showjumping (including the Puissance), dog handling, arts and crafts exhibitions and a cooking demonstration by popular chef Adrian Martin and even more.

Claremorris Community Radio will be broadcasting live from the Show from 12 noon to 3pm. Tune in on Sunday afternoon to hear our presenters Ed Coulson, Eleanor Prendergast and Catherine Lavery as they explore the many stalls and exhibits of the show.

The station itself will also have a stall this year, and we welcome any and all to call in for a chat, or to make a request. Look out for Bridie Sheeran and Chay Dawkins, who will be at the stall throughout the afternoon.

All aboard The Mystery Train!

Paul Halligan is your engine driver on our new programme The Mystery Train, which will be aired on Tuesdays at 8pm and repeated on Fridays, at 12 noon.

We board the train in Ireland and, as Paul says, “who knows where we’re going?”. It’s a musical journey with all kinds of tracks from all kinds of places. You might hear a piece of Irish folk, followed by what’s current in the Russian top 40, then you could get bounced back to the 1950s or wind up at the opera.

Prepare to have your musical mind broadened. There’s even a dining car on the mystery train where you’ll get recipe ideas, a book review of what your engine driver is currently reading, and well to find out what else – you’ll just have to tune in!

The Mystery Train departs on Tuesday next, July 24th, at 8pm.
