Mark your calendars, book worms.

Cork City-based writer Cónal Creedon is taking his work on the road again, this time headed west for a six-stop reading tour.

The novelist, playwright, documentary filmmaker and collaborative artist will bring his Come West the Road With Me tour to a selection of bookshops and galleries throughout June.

You’ll find him in DeBarra’s in Clonakilty as a guest of John Spillane on June 5th (9pm) and in the hallowed space of Inanna Rare Books in Skibbereen’s Old Masonic Hall on June 6th (7pm).

The tour will finish when Creedon meets Denish Lehane at Macroom Mart on June 27th.

Cónal’s erudite and engaging style has made him very popular on the international performance circuit. Most recently, Cónal was invited to present the 2024 Beatty Lecture at McGill University, Montreal Canada which was broadcast across multiple networks including, CBC Radio 1 Canada, US Public Radio, ABC Radio Australia, World Radio Paris.

“Come West The Road With Me – is a home coming of sorts.” the author said.

“My father’s people [Creedon] come from Inchigeelagh in Iveleary – and my mother’s people [Blake] are from Adrigole on the Beara Peninsula.”
