ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to Episode 76 of the Voices Of Boyle Podcast!
Welcome to episode 76 of the Voices of Boyle. I’m delighted to be joined by Seamie Carr for this one…a true Boyle native whose stories will transport you straight back to the town’s lively days of the 1980s and 90s.
From flying down hills on car bonnets and staging epic war games in the Pleasure Grounds, to marbles, conkers, and Halloween penny bangers….Seamie paints a vivid picture of a childhood full of adventure and community spirit.
Seamie chats about his family’s history including tales of his father’s time in America and running the legendary Carr’s pub…to Seamus’s own journey across the Atlantic, where he studied motorcycle mechanics before finding his way back to Boyle.
This one’s packed with nostalgia, local legends, and a real love for the town.
Thanks to Brendan O’ Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.
