  • Dorothy Shannon - Brewing Community Spirit at King House Tea Rooms
    Send us a textEp 81---Today’s guest is Dorothy Shannon and we talk about all things King House Tea Rooms. Dorothy grew up between Ardcarne and Cootehall, and talks about her vivid memories of coming into Boyle as a child – the turkey market, the buzz of the town, and the shops that she loved to visit. Travel opened her world up when she was younger, feeding her love of food, flavours and the joy of creating a variety of dishes from scratch. Catering and hospitality always felt natural to her, so when the chance to take over King House Tea Rooms came up nine years ago, she trusted her gut and grasped the opportunity with both hands. Since then, Dorothy has turned the café into a place known for homemade food, local ingredients and a feeling of genuine welcome. For her, the tea rooms are about community as much as cooking – a space where people meet, chat and keep the heart of Boyle beating. In this episode, she reflects on her journey to where she is today, the people that make her job so rewarding and her plans as the café heads towards its ten year anniversary.Check out the full blog post for this episode here - https://www.voicesofboyle.com/dorothyshannonJoin us on:( Facebook ) ( Instagram ) ( YouTube )( Website )If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who would like to chat with us, then drop us an email at ( [email protected] ) Thanks to Brendan O' Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.

Sean takes us back to his childhood at the foot of the Curlew Mountains, growing up in a house steeped in music, stories, and a fair bit of mischief. From there, the conversation meanders through rambling houses, lively sessions, and unforgettable characters, before following Sean to London in the 1980s and 90s, where the Irish community and music scene brought both challenges and adventure.Along the way, Sean talks about learning his first instruments, playing in bands, life abroad, and the characters you’d meet gigging in Irish pubs. We also hear about brushes with fame, lessons learned, and his later involvement in creative projects back home, including the ‘Oh No Somalia’ charity album.It’s a lively trip through memory, music, and community....told with all the wit and warmth of one of Boyle’s own. Enjoy!Check out the full blog post that accompanies this episode: https://www.voicesofboyle.com/seannicholsonJoin us on:( Facebook ) ( Instagram ) ( YouTube )( Website )If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who would like to chat with us, then drop us an email at ( [email protected] ) Thanks to Brendan O' Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.

About Voices of Boyle

Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, we’re live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (it’s our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7+ years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.
