Below is a piece on the history of Newbridge that I read out on
Culture Night (21 September 2012) with Cill Dara Writers’ Circle. We held our event in the lovely St. Patrick’s
church in Newbridge, where we also launched our second CD anthology ‘A Way with
Words II’. More details can be found on
our facebook page.

Here in Newbridge, Culture night coincides with the tail end
of the town’s 200 hundred year celebrations.
As such history meets culture this evening and I want to reflect on the
intersection of these two.
