Today’s guests are non-other than Lesley Beirne and Denise Tiernan. Les and Denise are friends since they were toddlers and they’ve managed to retain their unique friendship and connection right through from childhood to adulthood. They went to school together, played together in the evenings and, in later life, they lived and worked together and, during all them years, in their own words, they never fell out once.

This episode is just over an hour and we take a major walk down memory lane talking about everything from childhood games and 90 TV shows to the Gala Festival and working in the Little Chick. Thanks to the girls for giving us their time and more than a few belly laughs!

Enjoy episode 37!

Ep 36---



You're welcome to episode 36 of the Voices of Boyle. This week, we have Noel Sheerin on to bring us back to life in Boyle during the 60's and 70's!

Those of you from that era will undoubtedly remember Noel and his family from St. Patrick's street.

We covered a lot of stuff in this episode, and because Noel has a large volume of memories about Boyle from back in those days, we've decided to have two episodes so that we can covered everything.

This is part 1 and part 2 will be released in a few months down the road.

So, I hope you enjoy this first episode with Noel, as it will give us a glimpse into what life was like in Boyle back when he was growing up in Boyle.
