Kildare Readers' Festival 2010

Map of venues hosting events during Kildare Readers’ Festival 2010

Great news - ‘Petticoat Rebellion’ has been selected for the Kildare Readers' Festival in Newbridge, which runs for three days - Friday 14th May to Sunday 16th May 2010 inclusive.

Petticoat Rebellion is one of three books selected for the Authors' Panel in the Osprey Hotel on Saturday 15th May. It's really exciting to be able to share the book in my home county, and I look forward to seeing you there!

The festival kicks off with the Mayor's Festival Reception at 6pm in Time bar in Naas followed by the Devise & Conquer Theatre Company's performance of The Proposal by Anton Chekhov. (If you miss The Proposal on Friday, you can catch it again on Saturday evening at 6pm in the Osprey Hotel Ballroom.)

Well-known names in the Irish literary arena will feature during the festival, including Sheila O'Flanagan, Dermot Somers, Brian Keenan, John Minahan and John Connolly.

I'll be reading from "Petticoat Rebellion" in the Osprey Hotel as part of the Kildare Author Panel, along with John McKenna and Rob Kitchin.

Dermot Bolger will chair this event.

The Author Panel started at 12 noon, and finished around 1.30pm.
