A Disturbance of Poets

An innovative and unique C.D. project,  this is a CD compiling the best of 13 Mayo Poets reading their own works. It was recorded in Turlough House Museum by All Points West Media on a wet and windy May day. The total cost of recording and production of the CD is sponsered by O'Connors Super Value.

The poetry covers all manner of subjects from  Paul Durcans trip from Achill to Dublin, Romance Irish Style (yes it exists)  to information shared in waiting rooms that is not always welcome.

Travel with Terry McDonagh in his hair raising Hauantings in Mayo, ponder your own origins and place in the  world as Rosalind Davies acertains hers.  Consider with Ger Reidy and Paul McGuire our society, and think of the children in other societys as you listen to Iarla Mongey and Sharon Irwin.   Thrill at the beauty of our own tongue with Catríona Hastings, and what would you put in the coffin different to what Michelline Egans character did.  Smile at  the memoires  evoked  by Lizann Gorman on the agonising wait for a first kiss.  Are you searching for freedom like Perter Jordan or are you lucky enough to have found that gift. 

All of life is here in 32 poems by 13 talented artists and we thank them all for what they share with us.

So cry, laugh, think but most of all  ENJOY.

All of the proceeds from this CD will be go toHospice Africa / Uganda where Brid Quinn one of the poets worked for two years.  Because the total cost of the project has been met by O'Connors all the proceeds will be sent to Uganda.  We will keep you posted on how much we raise.  If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me at any time, I would be delighted to discuss the project with you.
