IF you’re interested in local Irish history, then Cloughjordan Heritage Vol XI makes an interesting read.

The Cloughjordan Heritage Group has woven together a tapestry of events, characters and parish life into their latest edition, which includes excerpts of Susan Finnerty’s With Gratitude, a series of articles on Philip and Tim Heenan, which appeared in Irish Horse World back in January.

Copies of the book are available from Paddy Williams, who himself penned an article ‘Memories about the Showband Era’ for this little gem, on sale at €10, (postage within Ireland €4/U.K. and Europe €7). If you’d like a copy, contact Paddy on 089 2059877 or paddywilliams21@gmail.com
