Kilcullen Diary SoundCloud: Remembering Kilcullen Capers



Through the 1970s until 1982, Kilcullen Capers was an annual event in which different areas of the village and parish were pitted against each other in a week of variety shows, writes Brian Byrne.

The 1982 event was the tenth year, and as it happened, was to be the last. Not knowing that, I made recordings of rehearsals and participants in a number of the shows, which later I turned into an audio documentary.

For this latest episode of the Kilcullen Diary SoundCloud, I have uploaded that documentary, which recalls a very special period in Kilcullen. It's a full 45 minutes, so pick a suitable time over the weekend, with a pot of tea or even a glass of wine.

Enjoy, and for those of you who were there, happy memories.
