The Tubridy Show broadcast live to the nation from the drawing room of Lismore Castle this morning.
.
In high spirits after a restful evening in the care of the castle's butler, Dennis Nevin, Ryan breezed through a plethora of interviewees.
.
Local authors Dervla Murphy, Anthony Summers and Ellen McCarthy discussed their craft while Donald Brady described the rich heritage of the locality that inspires his research and writing. Michelin star winning chef Martijn Kajuiter reduced Ryan to Lilliputian dimensions with his towering stature while Paul Whelan invited him to try his luck with a rod on the Blackwater any time. Dean Paul Draper and chemist Akram Hanna spoke of their fondness of Lismore as their adopted home place while Esther Barron of the renowned Barron's Bakery explained to Mr Tubridy that you hadn't really visited Cappoquin till you'd had a cappoquino!
.
A priceless vase or two wavered ever so slightly as the show was played out by foot tapping jigs and reels by Tony Dunne, Liam Flanagan, John Joe O'Donovan and Ciara Flanagan all fine Booley House musicians as explained by Tom Hyland.
.
If you missed the show it is available on the RTE website at http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thetubridyshow/

Thanks to Ryan and all his team for their very enjoyable visit. They are welcome to return to Lismore to "slum it" anytime!
