In case you missed it first time around - October 2022:
Welcome to the Derry Now / Derry News podcast 'What's the Bars' which is now available on all of your favourite podcast channels.
Hear all about Derry's Hallowe'en carnival parade from Jim Collins, the project manager of the North West Carnival Initiative, which is delighted to be taking to the streets of the city once again, with music, dancing and spectacular costumes.
The inimitable Seamus Breslin and Trevor Temple from Friends of Derry City Cemeteries - Historic Headstones discuss their Hallowe'en cemetery tours as well as some of the macabre and hilarious goings on around the city in days of yore.

And if you think witches are ugly women, with warty noses, pointy hats, brooms and black cats, Cáit Ní Cheallaigh tells the poignant and salutary tale of Cicily Jackson, the last woman in Derry to be burned as a witch! Cáit's tale certainly demolishes the witchy stereotype.
Thanks to all of our guests for taking part.
Let us know what you think and all suggestions for future episodes of 'What's the Bars?' are very welcome.
