Stories That Stay with Paul McVeigh, Andrew Meehan & Carol Drinkwater

Date: 29 May 2025

Venue: St John’s Theatre & Arts Centre

Join Paul McVeigh and Andrew Meehan as they discuss their latest works with Carol Drinkwater. 
The power of storytelling, their diverse genres, and everything from dark humour and deep emotion to gripping tales of mystery and personal discovery will be explored by the trio. 
Paul McVeigh’s I Hear You is a collection of short stories, written especially for BBC Radio 4. The moving short stories are brave, honest, raw and funny and feature the ten-part sequence: ‘The Circus’, set around Cliftonville Circus, where five roads meet in North Belfast.
Andrew Meehan’s much-anticipated Best Friends explores the depth of a relationship between two friends and the complexities of their bond in a world full of uncertainty. 
Carol Drinkwater, known for her evocative memoirs and fiction, will share insights from her new book, Summer in Provence which will be published in July.

Tickets: Here.

I will also be at the prize-giving ceremony for the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year, the night before, as one of this year’s judges.
