You can see some of Seamus Murphy's sculptures in the heart of Bantry when you're with us for the West Cork Chamber Music festival this year.

His statues of St Finbarr and St Ita sit in the niches on the front of St Finbarr’s Church, above Bantry library.

Huge turnout today for the launch of Séamus Murphy’s Stone Mad as this year’s One City One Book and republished by Mercier Press. Beautiful words from Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin and a great grá for Murphy’s sculptures newly displayed at Cork Public Museum. #CorkWorldBookFest25

Many congratulations to West Cork Music board member (among other roles!) Holly Cairns on the birth of her first child. What a momentous time for Holly and Barry! 💗

Holly's dad Clem helped found our West Cork Literary Festival, and Holly regularly helped WCM out in Bantry when she was a teenager.
