Arts Show, Friday, 1st April
Country & Western Writers’ Centre
Four Roads, Glenamaddy, Co. Galway, Ireland
Media release – For immediate use – 1st April, 2005
The Board of Directors and Staff of the Country & Western Writers’ Centre based in Four Roads, Glenamaddy, County Galway are delighted today (Friday 1st April) at the announcement of startling new developments at the Centre. The Arts Council, An Comhairle Ealaion, has just announced that the Country & Westen Writers’s Centre will be the only writers’ centre in Co. Galway to receive funding in 2005.
Ms Freda Nic Eoinn, the Writer’s Centre Administrator, said, “We’re very happy to receive this money which is in recognition of our hard work lobbying the various members of the Arts Council over the last couple of weeks. Our methodology has been to stay quiet, fill in the application forms in Irish and Cant and then pray. It has paid off big time for us and it looks like I will have a job for life.”
The work of the Country & Western Writers’ Centre has been largely based around promoting the work of Ms Nic Eoinn and her partner Aprille Phoule. Prior to this announcement, the Country & Western Writers’ Centre has received support through its ongoing exchange programme with the University of Tennessee’s Merle Rider Haggard School of Penitentiary Lyricism. This Master’s programme has seen community activists from Sligo to Limerick travel to Nashville to explore the rhythmic possibilities which will come on stream with the expected re-opening of the Western Rail Corridor. The principal course tutor on this programme was renowned hobo Boxcar Willie.
“We would like to thank everyone who supported us in our quest for funding, “ said a delighted Ms Nic Eoinn, “We look forward to spending the money wisely as we continue to develop the Country and Western Writers’ Centre as a resource for everyone in the West, regardless of talent.”
