"It was all for the craic"
A meeting of the Heritage Group last evening established a basic framework for the forthcoming Heritage Week event which will examine the 'Capers' era in Kilcullen's history.
The event is scheduled for Wednesday 29 August and will take a chat show form, with the evening moderated by John Martin. A number of guests with recollections of their involvement in Capers will participate and it is hoped to have some entertainment in the form of sketches, songs and maybe a short monologue to illustrate some of the performances from the shows that effectively put most of Kilcullen's people on stage at one point or another.
Heitage Group chair Nessa Dunlea is appealing for anyone with memorabilia in the form of photographs or recordings to let the Group know. Photographs will be scanned and immediately returned to their owners, if they are willing to have them considered for integration into the night's activities. Also, if anybody has a recording of an interview conducted with the Minister for Posts & Telegraphs, Conor Cruise O'Brien, in one of the years, it would be wonderful to have a copy.
There's only a few weeks to go, so if anybody car offer suggestions, stories or memories of any kind, please get in touch.
Brian Byrne.
