Age Friendly Roscrea - yoga, art, music, literature and charity

Roscrea Digest

The Roscrea Digest Volume 2 is a Corona legacy, a miscellany of stories, photographs, poetry, reflections and memories. Lots to interest everyone now and more especially in years to come. We were privileged to include in this volume a catalogue of the prolific writings of historian George Cunningham.

George’s contribution to our Roscrea Community is immeasurable and invaluable. He himself is a living archive, but his published legacy will endure and inform generations.

As Tom and Lucy McCarthy have recently moved from town to start a new chapter in their lives, we also wish to honour and acknowledge their unique contribution over many years. The list of ‘gigs they organised is phenomenal and reading through it will evoke memories of many magical music events we were lucky to have enjoyed on our doorsteps

The Roscrea Digest is on sale locally – SuperValu, Moloneys, Keanes, News and Views, Gala

At €5 it is a gift and would make a great gift for friends and family away from home.
