Songs, Streets & Stories: Mohill in Its Heyday
In this warm and lively episode of Memory Meitheals, neighbours Tish Dunleavy and Eilish O’Callaghan bring us back to their childhood on Main Street, Mohill — a time when the town thrived with shops, characters, festivals and constant activity.
They share joyful memories of growing up in a street where everyone knew everyone, where local characters left lasting impressions, and where small businesses and community events shaped the rhythm of daily life. Their stories also touch on the rich musical thread running through the Dunleavy and Rowley families — the sessions, songs and informal performances that gave their homes and neighbourhood such energy and spirit.
Many of the shops, festivals and familiar faces have disappeared over the years, but through Tish and Eilish’s recollections they come vividly back to life, offering a heartfelt portrait of Mohill in its bustling heyday.
