In September 2016, Fighting Words, the creative writing charity founded by Roddy Doyle, opened its doors in the Aurora Centre, Glencree.

Our first year in Wicklow has been a resounding success, with incredible feedback coming from schools, and brilliant buy-in from the local community, many of whom volunteer to run our workshops: THANK YOU Enniskerry.

Between September 2016 and July 2017, Fighting Words volunteers ran hundreds of FREE Creative Writing workshops. Working with children, teenagers and adults with special needs, our fantastic team of local volunteers helped make thousands of people, young and old, realise the potential they have for creative expression; every participant in our workshops left with a new confidence in the value of their unique voice.

This would not be possible without our remarkable group of volunteers. Their enthusiasm and enjoyment of the workshops is just as vital to our success:

“There’s something magical about Fighting Words. Sometimes you’ll see a young child that is so shy and unsure of themselves.. At the start of a workshop, they’ll come in and tell you that they can’t write, that they have no imagination. But when you see that same child blossoming throughout the morning, opening up, Ukulele player and Craft Fair at the Enniskerry Field Day and even reading their own work out loud, and proud of what they’ve produced… that’s when you really know you’ve achieved something. It’s a feeling should be bottled.” Catherine, a local volunteer. Have you got a piano

The good news is that Fighting Words is back in Glencree again that you no longer use this year, and we are looking for new volunteers! Since September, we have been welcoming groups up to create stories with us. and is taking us space in your house? So, if you think you’d like to work with children or young people by listening to them and helping them find their voices to create stories, please get in touch with Mark: [email protected] Powerscourt National You don’t need any special training of skills - just a belief in the transformative power of the imagination and a sense of fun. We’ll School has two very be delighted to invite you up to see a workshop and find out if it’s for you! talented musical teachers but no piano.

And it came to pass, when Paul was at Corinth, he and certain disciples came upon a mob that was stoning an organist. 2. And Paul spake unto them. “What, then hath he done unto thee that his head should be bruised?” 3. And the people cried with one voice, “He hath played exceedingly loud.” 4. Yeah, in the singing of psalms he hath made our head to ring as if it were being beaten by an hammer. 5. Behold, he sitteth up high upon the loft and mighty are the pipes and great is the noise thereof that cometh out of the pipes therein. Though there be few of us below, he nonetheless playeth with all the stops: the Assyrian trumpet stop and the stop of the ram’s horn and the stop that soundeth like the sawing of stones. And we cannot hear the words that proceedeth out of our own mouths. 6. He is wont to tosseth in variations that confuseth us mightily, and he playeth loud and discordant , and always in a military tempo, such that we have not breath enough even for to sing each verse. 7. Lo, he is a plague upon the faith and must needs to be chastised”. 8. Paul upon hearing this, had himself picked up a small stone and was about to cast it, but he set it down and bade the organist come down thither from the loft. And the organist gat himself down thence for to commune with Paul. 9. He was a man of middling stature and possessing a fine beard. 10. And Paul saith unto him, “What manner of communications are these that they say against thee?” 11. And the organist cried unto him saying, “I heareth them not singing from whence I did sit and playeth even the louder to encourage them.” 12. And Paul turned to the mob and said in a loud voice, “Let him who has never played an organ cast the first stone.” 13. And they did cast stones until their arms were sore and heavy. And they that cast were an hundred and forty four men. And Paul bade the organist to repent and he did. 14. And Paul spake unto the organist “Thou shalt take up the flute and play it for thirty and six days to cleanse thy spirit” And afterward they returned to Cornith everyman for to sing psalms unaccompanied, and then had coffee and were refreshed in faith.

Note: scholars disagree on the exact translation of verse 9. The description and even gender of the organist is under dispute

He had never been Ireland and I was delighted to note that this year (maybe other to school before albeit he has attended worship in a number of years also) that RTE broadcast a Harvest Thanksgiving Mass.
