A brilliant comedy, ‘The Lonesome West’- nominated for a Tony Award – will be presented by ‘Harmony’ at Youghal’s Community Centre April 7th – 11th, 8pm. Admission only €10. Free Programme with commentary note. Tickets at Cree’s Card Shop (024 93899) and at the door. Over 15’s.
‘The Lonesome West’, by Martin McDonagh tells the story of two brothers, Colman and Valene, each quite crazy in his own way, a well-meaning alcoholic priest, Fr. Welsh and a poteen-peddling schoolgirl, ‘Girleen’.
Hilarious, but heart rending and hard-hitting, it is set in rural Ireland in the mid-nineties when we finally began to ask long overdue questions of ourselves and came up with some very revealing answers that, hopefully, have set us on the road to reform and renewal.
McDonagh tells his fabulous story with colourful characterisation, imagery and language and – like life itself – it keeps us laughing and crying – and guessing – to the very end. Directed by Finbar Hannon. Donation to Youghal Cancer Support Group. This is a great play. Don’t miss it!

Behind the scenes of the making of the new Community Radio Youghal CRY 104FM radio drama series “The Delaney’s — Behind the Mic” featuring the award winning St. Raphael’s Drama Group and staff.
Click on the HD video below to see the making of the radio drama.
“The Delaney’s — Behind the Mic” is Community Radio Youghal’s brand new 4 part drama series made in partnership with the award winning St Raphael’s Drama Group. Written by Drama Coordinators Julie Sharkey and Elinor Rivers and the Drama Group , The four part series is presented in a unique docu-drama style which will see each episode intertwined with interviews with the production crew and cast as they prepare for each episode and the behind the scenes preparations and rehearsals that were involved in making the series.
The drama series focuses on the Delaney family an ordinary Youghal family who end up getting into some extraordinary situations and many of the scenes in the series came about during improvisation sessions with the Drama Group and such was the excitement among the residents and staff of St Raphael’s Centre that the group and Julie and Elinor ended up writing extra scenes for the staff of St Raphael’s centre who wanted parts as extras in the programmes.
CRY104fm’s Community Development Officer Darragh Parker said it was a huge privilege for the station to work with such a talented group of individuals and one of the functions of a Community Radio station is to provide a platform for local talented groups to showcase their talents adding that the finished product really is something that St Raphael’s Drama Group and CRY should really be proud of.

Last week in Ireland saw the launch of National Ten Pin Bowling Week with Bowling Centres offering Free bowling to schools across the country, to introduce children to the sport. http://www.perksfunfair.com/
Bowling has a long and rich history, and today it is one of the most popular sports in the world dating as far back as 3200BC.
Of course there were different variations of the game back then which continued to change and evolve through the centuries and settlers in America brought in their own version of the game.
The game had its ups and downs in America with it being made illegal in some states due to the gambling that surrounded it. By the late 1800s the popularity of bowling was growing but each area had different attributes of the game. Ball weights and pin sizes varied until it was standardized by the American bowling congress in 1895.
Now organized, with agreed-upon standards, the game grew in popularity and has continued to grow. Today, the sport of bowling is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than 90 countries worldwide.
The reason that bowling is becoming so popular is that children and adults of nearly every ability level can participate, and it can be enjoyed as a leisure, recreational and social activity. As well as improving overall fitness it also contributes to balance, coordination and motor skills. Bowling is able to fill the needs of so many people because it is, above all, a simple game.
So whether you are a seasoned pro, an average bowler or even if you have never played before, we have everything you need at Perks Family Entertainment Centre to enable you to perfect your game or to just have some good wholesome fun.
