Listowel has entered its brief Mediterranean period, Writers' Week is almost upon us, and The Kilmorna Collection is responding with coffee, records, art and wine.

Listowel has entered its annual forty eight hour Mediterranean period.

The weather is disgracefully good. Writers' Week is almost upon us. The town is beginning to buzz. People are walking around with iced coffees, linen shirts and the dangerous confidence of a county that has briefly forgotten what rain is.

At The Kilmorna Collection, we are responding with dignity.

We have opened the doors, prepared the coffee, checked the wine glasses for Wednesday night, and selected five records from the shelves that feel suitable for sunshine, warm evenings and the kind of optimism normally discouraged in North Kerry.
