 "An Evening with Pete McCarthy",
author of McCarthy’s Bar and The Road to McCarthy, took place on 1st October at 8.00
pm in Dunmore House Hotel, Clonakilty. Pete's performance proved as stimulating and entertaining as everyone
anticipated it would be. If you have read his first book you will be aware of the
particular affection he holds for West Cork, and this was certainly portrayed at the
outset of the
evening when
he expressed how delighted he was to be invited to West Cork, "Without
the inspiration of West Cork, I don't think my career as an author would have
kick-started the way it has". The
evening also included a sit down buffet of local produce and live music after the
main performance. Overall the evening was a remarkable success and one
to be repeated.
