Looking for info on Castlebar Song Contest
SIR – For a long time I’ve been threatening to compile a history of the Castlebar International Song Contest and eventually (foolishly or otherwise), I have commenced work on the project. I write to seek your help in sourcing material for the book.
I plan to include contributions from members of the public who attended or who had any association with the contest at any time during its 22 year duration. My hope is that many will write a short piece on their memories/ opinions – complementary or critical, serious or funny – of the event. In this context I would be grateful if you would allow me to use your newspaper to invite people to send me their memories.
Secondly, although much data has been saved, a lot of valuable material seems to be missing. For instance, I have been unable to trace programmes for the following years: 1967; 1968; 1970; 1973 and 1974. Perhaps some of your readers may have one or all of the missing programmes and might allow me to extract information from them. I will be extremely grateful for such help.
I would love to hear from anyone who would like to share his/her memories and or comments on experiences with the Castlebar International Song Contest.
My contact details are as follows: E-mail, info@albany.ie; telephone 087-653 8126 or 094902 2452; address, Snugboro, Castlebar.
Yours sincerely,
Paddy McGuinness
