Voices of Boyle
Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, we’re live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (it’s our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7+ years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.

Barry Feely - Brothers In Stone & Longevity In Boyle
Ep 22---
On this episode of Voices of Boyle, I chat with Barry Feely, who has dedicated much of his life to the monumental business.
With a keen interest in stonework from a young age, he honed his craft by working with his father to produce intricate monuments made of Celtic rock.
He discusses the traditional method of working with limestone and highlights how working with his brothers brought longevity to their family business.
Barry also discusses his involvement in the Boyle Arts Festival and a few other local committees.
Barry's passion for developing and showcasing Boyle's historical monuments also comes through.
His story reflects on his life's work, including the monumental industry's ups and downs and his difficulties with dyslexia.
Grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy episode number 22 on the podcast.
