Journalist Peter Taylor in conversation with Derry's Raymond McCartney at Féile 2025.
Award-winning journalist and author Peter Taylor will take part in a special evening of conversation as part of Féile Derry 2025's debates and discussions programme.
Mr Taylor will be joined by former political prisoner, hunger striker and Sinn Féin elected representative Raymond McCartney for an in-depth conversation about the story behind the headlines.
The event will take place on August 11 at 7pm at Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin.
The two men first met in 1990 in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh during the filming of ‘Enemies Within’ - a documentary by Steve Hewlett that featured interviews with both republican and loyalist prisoners.
Raymond McCartney
Peter Taylor has spent over five decades reporting on the conflict in Ireland, documenting the people, the politics, and the long path to peace.
His acclaimed trilogy - Provos, Loyalists and Brits - is widely seen as a definitive account of the conflict from all sides. His reporting for ITV’s This Week, Panorama and other BBC programmes brought deeper understanding to many of the key events in our recent history.
Mr Taylor's connection to Derry goes back over 50 years. He first visited the city on the night of Bloody Sunday in January 1972 and became a frequent visitor in the decades that followed, developing close relationships with figures such as Martin McGuinness and Brendan Duddy.

This conversation with Raymond McCartney is one of the key highlights of Féile 2025’s biggest-ever programme, with hundreds of events taking place right across the city from August 6 to 15.
