Group 8's poetry night featuring Mary Mullen and Patrick Chapman on Friday was a great success. Both readers were warm and interesting and read fine, thought-provoking work. The audience were appreciative and enjoyed the Q&A and signing with the writers at the end. Audience and writers adjourned to the Library Room bar downstairs afterwards for drinks and chats.
Thanks to all who came and we look forward to bringing more fantastic Irish writers to Ballinasloe. Huge thanks to Gullane's for hosting the event. Photos below!

They are beautiful as the sound of chello
