Book Club @ UCH: An Evening with John Creedon in Conversation with Miriam O’Callaghan
Event information
Book Club @ UCH is delighted to welcome one of Ireland’s best-loved broadcasters, John Creedon, for a special evening in conversation with renowned RTÉ presenter Miriam O’Callaghan on Saturday 24 October at 7.30pm.
The event will explore Creedon’s new memoir, This Boy’s Heart, the first part of which was published in 2024. Through a series of formative stories from his adolescence and early adulthood, Creedon reflects on a rapidly changing Ireland of the 1970s and 1980s, capturing the people, places and experiences that shaped his life as he sought to find his place in the world.
A familiar voice on RTÉ Radio 1, Creedon is also widely recognised for his television series, including Creedon’s Wild Atlantic Way, Creedon’s Epic East, Creedon’s Shannon and several series of Creedon’s Atlas of Ireland. His first book, That Place We Call Home, became a bestseller, followed by An Irish Folklore Treasury, which won Best Irish-published Book at the An Post Irish Book Awards.
Join us at UCH for an engaging evening of conversation, storytelling and reflection as Miriam O’Callaghan speaks with John Creedon about his life, his memories and the Ireland that inspired his writing.
