For this year’s ever popular relaxing Sunday afternoon event we’re delighted to be serenaded and entertained by author Dara Waldron with musician & broadcaster Fiachna Ó Bhraonáin.
Following the sudden death of his father in 2016, Dara Waldron found himself disoriented in a world that had once filled him with wonder. After rescuing an abandoned border collie into his family home, an unexpected companionship began. As the months pass and their bond deepens, Dara begins to see that Oscar – bred to herd, guard and guide – might be the one doing the rescuing.
