The organisers of the upcoming Fethard Book Fair, which will be held on Sunday, February 9, have awarded the 18th Tipperariana Book of the Year, for 2019, to the 60th anniversary edition of the Fethard and Killusty Newsletter’ - better known locally as the ‘Emigrants Newsletter’. The award was presented to Joe Kenny, editor of the Newsletter since 1988, at a ceremony in the ICA Hall, Fethard, last Friday night, February 24.

Winner of the Fethard Historical Society's Tipperariana Book of The Year Award for 2019, 'Fethard & Killusty Annual Newsletter', presented to editor Joe Kenny, who accepted the award on behalf of the production team at a reception held in the ICA Hall Fethard on Friday, January 24. Also included are Mary Hanrahan (left), Chairperson of Fethard Historical Society and Dóirín Saurus, who designed the presentation award marking the 60th anniversary of the Newsletter's production.

The two-hundred and fifty-page 2019 edition of the ‘Emigrants Newsletter’ is continuing a tradition started by the Fethard branch of the Legion of Mary back in 1959. The whole Irish economy - and society in fact - were in a state of near collapse during the 1950s era, with nearly a half-million people emigrating in a dozen years, from a country of only three million people.

The concept of the ‘emigrant newsletter’ was a national project by the Legion of Mary to get parishes all over Ireland to produce an annual ‘parish newsletter’, that would then to be sent to the huge Irish ‘diaspora’ overseas, so as to keep them in touch with the ‘old country’.

Guest speaker Mary Guinan-Darmody speaking

Mary Guinan-Darmody, County Library’s Local Studies section in Thurles, was the guest speaker on the night, and she outlined that many parishes in Tipperary initiated the ‘newsletter’ idea, but that Fethard was unique in continuing the tradition uninterrupted for 60 years - from 1959 to the present. Speaking Mary went on to say, “ I believe it to be the oldest and longest running parish journal in the county and with the dedication of its hard-working committee will be around long after many of the other journals have unfortunately ceased. It is therefore very fitting that it has been selected as the recipient of the Tipperariana Book of the Year 2019.”

Mary, then went on to explain the importance or significance of a parish journal.

"A quick answer might be that it brings both locals and those who are living far away up to date with events that have happened throughout the year, from a social and cultural viewpoint. Indeed it does this. But in my opinion, parish journals do a lot more than this. Their significance is much more important and far reaching, on historical, cultural and social levels. They record the present so that in future, that present, having become the past, will be a record worth exploring by people yet unborn.

There is no one formula for a successful parish journal, all have similarities but each has its own individual characteristics depending on the parish, the history of the parish and the approach of the editorial committee. It doesn’t mean that one is right and one wrong. Journal articles include Historical facts and oral traditions of the locality – it may be growing up in the 1930s or 1940s, the big snow, the local landlord, townland names, old mills, the Great War and of course now, the War of Independence and the local participants etc.

Just taking one past journal – In 1974, the Fethard journal records the restoration of the Holy Year Cross which had already been erected on Slievenamon in 1950. In a few sentences, we are brought back 70 years.

It gives a brief history of Fethard GAA Club history which was founded in 1855, almost thirty years before the famous 1884 meeting in Hayes Hotel, Thurles founding the Gaelic Athletic Association. While not everybody has the patience to sit and read through an entire history book, the parish journal is a taster, an appetiser to several aspects of the parish, including sports.

How lovely to see something like the U12 Football/Hurling photo, kids who might never otherwise be mentioned and who may never go ahead to county acclaim but their contribution and participation is recorded there for posterity.

The Fethard newsletter is published by the Emigrants Newsletter committee ....even though I am not an emigrant, having moved only about twenty miles away from Fethard. I can easily imagine what it must mean to somebody far away...

In the 2019 journal, I read ’A man for all Seasons’ and some forty years after leaving school, while never been taught by him I can still see Timmy O’Connor walking round the school in his sports coat and pants. At the end of the article, the group photo of teachers from 1973 brings back a collection of memories both of the teachers and incidents associated with my fellow pupils - like the day when Miss Baldwin, later Mrs Stokes (only unnamed teacher) – had to rescue Jacinta O’Connell who managed to put the needle from the sewing machine through her finger.

For 50 people to read the journal, it could mean something different to each of them, whilst again I recognise several photos, like the one of Jack O’Shea outside his shop again brings me back to my childhood when my sister Kitty worked there before her marriage. To somebody else, this photo may bring back memories, of friends they chatted with while sitting on the bar stool or the pair of shoes for a special family event that were repaired by Willie Stapleton in Jack’s shoe repair shop. It might be one article or one photo but the memories that it can evoke and for a brief moment, one is brought back to an earlier time, possibly a more carefree time.

What a treasure trove, to have all sixty editions of the journal, the amount of information they contain, gems that are being lost with each passing year. Without the Fethard journal of 1995, who would be able to name the members of the Fethard Confraternity Band of the 1920s? Cultural life is part and parcel of a community, the sports, drama, music all so valuable in uniting a parish and improving our daily life. Parish Journals chronicle these in an easy read format and can form the useful basis for which a more complete history to be developed at a later point.

I once heard the academic Raymond Gillespie define Local History as the ‘history of a Group of people in a particular place over a period of time’ and to me this is exactly what the parish journal is and should be. In this case the history of us 'Fethard people in Fethard over time’.

So long live the parish journals, particularly the Fethard Parish Journal while I most likely won’t celebrate my 100th birthday, I hope it will."

In praising the longevity and exceptional high standard of the Fethard Newsletter, she also drew attention to the many other present day parish newsletters and historical journals in the county, saying that they will also be a huge resource for future historians, and will act as ‘the memory of the people’ in this fluid digital age. Another, quite incredible, feature of the Fethard & Killusty Newsletter saga is that it is posted free of charge annually to over 700 emigrants worldwide, a fact which really demonstrates that Fethard remembers her own.

He also thanked the Historical Society for the honour of been chosen for the prestigious county-wide ‘Book-of-the-Year’ award and wonderful reception bestowed on the Newsletter’s local representatives who were able to attend. He also thanked Mary Guinan-Darmody, who was most accommodating and helpful while researching items at the County Library’s Local Studies, at The Source, Thurles.

The ‘formal’ aspect of the evening was rounder off by Fethard native and now Cork based actor and performer, Jack Healy, who recited amongst other things, the famous (or infamous) poem, ‘The Traders of Fethard’, composed in 1932 by Coolbawn bard Paddy Carroll, which comes from a time when ‘political correctness’ was not yet invented.

Crocanóir – the music venue at the end of the boreen nestled in the foothills of Slievenamon (Eircode E41 N998) – has become firmly established by both audience and entertainer who love the intimate atmosphere in Ballycullen, where regular concerts, theatrical performances, music lessons and workshops in dance and creative writing are also held.

Proprietors, John and Monika Bermingham, held their first concert in 2010 and weren’t sure if they’d get ten people to attend, never mind survive for ten years, but here they are in 2020 – one hundred concerts later – still singing after all these years! Their sincere thanks is extended to everyone who came on board and helped create magical musical memories at the end of the boreen.

The next concert coming up at Crocanóir is the very popular Dónal Clancy, on Saturday, February 8, starting at 8pm. Dónal Clancy performed a special commissioned show for Clonmel World Music in November 2019, entitled ‘Dónal Clancy’s Folk ‘n Blues Revue’. Such was the audience reaction that Donal will be touring the show in 2020. The show includes bluesy versions of songs from legends like Bob Dylan, Elizabeth Cotton, Rev Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy among many others including some of Dónal’s own compositions.

Dónal is the son of Liam Clancy, from the world-famous Clancy Brothers and he is proudly carrying on the family tradition of storytelling and ballad singing of the highest order. Liam Clancy gave him his first guitar at the age of eight and he was playing professionally by his early teens. Donal was a member of trad group ‘Danu’ for many years, and has toured and recorded with Riverdance fiddler, Eileen Ivers. He was a guest with The Chieftains on their ‘Tears of Stone’ tours in Japan and the US. Dónal Clancy, in his own right, is regarded as one of Ireland’s finest guitarists and ballad singers. Donal has, since the death of his father, focused his attention on the family repertoire of songs that he grew up with. He is bringing the tradition to audiences all over the world. Come along to Crocanóir on Saturday, February 8, for a great musical treat, starting at 8pm. Further information and booking, contact John or Monika at Tel: 086 8907329. Congratulations on ten years of great music!

Donating books to the Book Fair?
Every year, people from all over the county are very supportive of the Tipperariana Book Fair and donate books to the organisers, Fethard Historical Society, for sale on the Society’s stand at the fair. This year’s fair takes place on Sunday, February 9, from 2pm to 6pm in Fethard Ballroom.

Every year, people from all over the county are very supportive of the Tipperariana Book Fair and donate books to the organisers, Fethard Historical Society, for sale on the Society’s stand at the fair. This year’s fair takes place on Sunday, February 9, from 2pm to 6pm in Fethard Ballroom.

Modern books in good condition, are always sought after at the fair, as the thirty or so dealers who attend have mostly more serious and antiquarian type books on their stalls.

It is true to say that there are very few ‘valuable’ books – in the monetary sense – lying around. But there are lots of ‘sought after’ books and pamphlets, especially in older households, that may seem ordinary and uninteresting but can be of great interest to collectors and even wanted by Tipperary County Libraries for their Local Studies Centre in The Source in Thurles. So, the organisers will gladly receive all books – especially ones of local and Tipperary interest. If possible, people who are clearing out old houses should try and contact a member of the Historical Society to advise in case some rare items are not ending up in the dump.

Everything is not on the Web!
It is sometimes taken for granted by younger people that ‘everything’ is stored in ‘the cloud’ and can be googled if needed. But, the fact is, that everything on the web has to be put there by someone, and most older, local ‘stuff’ probably never will be uploaded, so it is very important that copies are kept by the various libraries for the use of researchers and social historians in the future. People who wish to make contact with the organisers of the bookfair, can email: bookfair@fethard.com or text/phone 087 9305232 or 087 9009722.

Tipperary Books and the Book Fair
25th Annual Book Fair on Sunday, February 9, 2020
It’s amazing how time flies, and a ‘book fair in the Ballroom’ that began on the second Sunday in February in 1996 is still going strong after twenty-five-years.  The organisers – Fethard Historical Society – did not know what to expect all those years ago as it was a ‘new idea’ for everyone involved. But, it did take off from year one and has not looked back since.  
One contributory fact was, that good advice was sought and taken, from knowledgeable ‘book dealing people’, in particular, the late Rudi Holzapfel who ran a great second-hand and antiquarian bookshop in Tipperary town at that time. In fact, the formula worked so well that it has not changed much in the past 25 years; as the Americans say, ‘If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.’  So, it is still held on the second Sunday in February, with an in-house Café and a piano player on stage to add more ambience to the event. The presence of the large Ballroom space makes such a venture possible and it is also wonderful that the Fethard Ballroom is also very much a going concern twenty-five-years later.

The name ‘Tipperariana Book Fair’
People sometimes ask where the name ‘Tipperariana’ came from, and like most things it happened by accident. For the second fair in 1997, Rudi Holzapfel compiled a forty-page booklet, listing all the better known ‘Tipperary books’ produced in the last two centuries. He also gave ‘guide prices’ that antiquarian book collectors would pay for all the books listed. ‘Tipperariana’ was the title he gave to his booklet and ever since the organisers have called the annual fair ‘The Tipperariana Book Fair’. The Tipperariana Book Fair has now been adopted by all Tipperary people as ‘their’ county book fair and this has added to its continuing success.

Book donations gladly received.
The book fair is the one fund raising venture of the Fethard Historical Society during the year, and the sale of donated books at the fair forms a big part of the overall income. Anyone wishing to donate books can contact any member of the society or email: history@fethard.com or phone 087 9305232 / 087 9009722 and arrangements will be made to receive the books in the coming weeks.
There are a few aspects of the upcoming Tipperariana Book Fair, on Sunday, February 9, that are particularly important for books of Tipperary and local interest. Firstly, the book dealers who come from all over the country to the fair make sure to gather up their ‘Tipperary interest’ books and have them for sale on the day, knowing that there will be a market in Fethard for all Tipperariana type books and memorabilia. The reverse is also true, with punters being very happy to come across a local book that they always wanted, as it may have some photo or reference in it to their family or locality.

Secondly, the organisers of the book fair , the Fethard Historical Society, receive donations of ‘ould books’ that otherwise might end up in the skip , and the odd one can be rare or special in some way and will go for sale at the fair and make some purchaser very happy on the day.

Tipperariana Book of the Year
A feature of this whole annual focus on books in the county is the nomination, by the organisers of the Book Fair, of their Tipperariana Book of the Year. Every year over thirty or more substantial books or journals are published in county Tipperary and the Book of the Year concept is just another way to draw attention to, and give recognition to, the authors and publishers of such books. In many ways these books are the ‘stored memory’ of the people of Tipperary and their importance will only increase with the passing of time.

The organisers also try to invite as many as possible of the authors of ‘Tipperary’ books – published in the preceding year – to come to the fair to promote, sell and sign their books.

Anyone wishing to make contact with the organisers of the upcoming 25th Tipperariana Book Fair on Sunday, February 9, or who wish to donate books, can email bookfair@fethard.com or text or phone 087 9305232 or 087 9009722.
