At the Savour Kilkenny Festival, Sunday 29th October, we hosted one of the most enjoyable SpeakEATsy’s yet… Thanks to the organisers of Savour Kilkenny for adding us to the programme, to Willie and his staff at Billy Byrnes, to Costellos Brewing Co; to Johanna at Night Orchard and the girls from Market Kitchen for coordinating the meal; to the performers – Sougata Roy Chowdhury and Shariajdeep Singe al the way from India, the Cloughjordan based Maggie McEntee and the more local warbling folk wonderboys the Savage Jim Breen, and of course Mel White for her spoken word and Paul and Ollie the dastardly dapper Djs of the Boudoir Sessions; gratitude to Darren for the sound, and Ciara, Aaron, Vicky, Shay and Brid for the support on the door and serving up the dishes; to Julie, Ollie and Davie for the compelling intro to the food ecosystem of Cloughjordan Ecovillage; a big thanks for Colm and Laura for the 5 star hospitality and looking after the crew; to local voices Brian, Victor and Dee and of course everyone who came along and made it an evening to remember.
