Last night's live performance of 'Radio Rock' in Brewery Lane Theatre - an original drama written and crafted by the amazing Mary McGrath remembering, celebrating and honouring 'Radio Carrick' Community Radio trailblazers from 1980/1981...was a dream come true for this Legend!🥳❤ Well done Mary, for being the spark that made this happen! You truly ROCK!
The audience, many former presenters and founders of Radio Carrick along with their families who travelled from various parts of Ireland to join us last night, truly loved the play...bringing back wonderful memories...and were so honoured to be remembered and celebrated in such a fabulous way...there were lots of shared stories and catchups enjoyed afterwards in the tearoom...
