No Show in the Echo
I feel I owe an explanation to my many readers for the non appearance of a piece by me in the Cavan Echo. It’s not my fault.
Last Monday I got a message from the Belfast Media Group telling me that the Cavan Echo was switching to a 28 page format. As a result contributors including myself, Breifne O’Reilly and Stephen were being given “a holiday”, and that contributions weren’t being sought from us until “the end of summer” – whenver that is. As the frogs say On verra bien.
I’m not holding my breath that my “Ecfhoes of the Past” will resume anytime soon, and I’m highly doubtful it would be in the Cavan Echo.
This will cause many people disappointment. I think it was apparent that I really loved writing my pieces, andf this was enhanced by the feedback I got.
I pray that I may be given an opportunity to continue publishing my scribblings some time soon.
PS. I may be a rat but I stayed with the ship until the end.
ciaran: shocked. dismayed. disappointed. all three I was upon learning that you have been scratched from the pages of the Cavan Echo. you were the kindly light, leading us loyal readers back to the past, and doing it with that effortless story telling style of yours. free it was to read you online, and that may have been the rub. hope you decide to keep writing your gems and posting them on your blog until your cavan echo publisher figures out how to devise mr. green’s entry into your arrangement. cordially, patrick clark
