What makes for a long, happy retirement? We hit the streets of Bray to gather tips and reflections from those living it. Leah shares a chilling story of hearing a banshee - and of the friendly ghost she may be sharing her home with! We also stop by the Signal Arts Centre, a vital hub for creativity and community in Bray and Wicklow, offering space and support to emerging artists. And we share the last heartwarming clips from Uncle Bob’s archive - can you recognise the innocent voices of Ravenswell’s seven-year-olds?

Ep 8. Things That Go Bump in the Night, Retirement Wisdom, and Art for Art’s Sake.

In this extended interview, Leah sits down with Eleanor Philips, the CEO and Creative Director of Signal Arts Centre. Founded back in July 1990, Signal was created to fill a real gap — there just wasn’t a central hub for visual arts in Bray or across North Wicklow. Since then, it’s become a thriving space where artists can develop their practice while also connecting with the wider community. We’ll hear how it all started, the challenges along the way, and how Signal continues to support creativity over three decades later.

Death of a Bray

vùng an toàn

Nó luôn biết cách kiếm cho mình những nguồn động lực rất to
Biết đời bách biến, nó thường phải giấu cảm xúc sau từng tấc thơ
Từng nhát cắt xuyên khi lời cầu nguyện luôn bị ân trên bác bỏ
Nhưng để trở thành 1 kẻ trách nhiệm nó biết mình phải từ bỏ giấc mơ
Vậy nên đam mê nó mang bên mình nhưng vẫn luôn lỡ cỡ
80 tiếng làm việc khiến nó trân quý từng phút tìm chỗ thở
Lớn lên từ những nỗ lực, gia đình luôn mong nó không khổ sở
Nhưng thứ đeo bám nó là nỗi sợ mọi thứ xung quanh đều đổ vỡ

Bình yên là thứ nó không thể tha thiết hơn
Nó chẳng còn muốn tờ giấy phải ứơt mỗi lần đặt cây viết lên
Không dùng nỗi đau để câu từ đó được trở nên da diết hơn
Họ nói thiệt thòi của nó là chẳng tiếc công làm 1 kẻ luôn biết on

Có chăng phần thưởng dành, cho những kẻ đã trưởng thành
từ những vết thương chỉ là bản năng biết cách xoay sở để dưỡng lành
So here I am, thằng nhóc gắn liền những bản nhạc buồn
Không có google map trái tim thì ai mà chẳng lạc đường

Nhưng mà life goes on,
Ta đều biết thấu hơn
Anh vẫn là kẻ may mắn biết em vẫn sẽ ở bên
Và nếu có hôm em cảm thấy ngày thật dài
Bật bài nhạc này và nghe lời thì thầm bên tai

Are you sad (remix)

This week, we uncover the story of Bray’s long-lost Turkish Baths – a fleeting glimpse of opulence on Quinsborough Road. Fast forward to today, where saunas dot the seafront, and Bray still knows how to keep things warm. Plus, we join the unveiling of a new commemorative seat with a view for Bagatelle, the band that has a strong association with Bray!

Ep. 9. Hot Stuff! From Turkish Baths to seaside saunas, and a seat for Bagatelle on Bray Head!

In the golden era of the 1950s, Manchester United’s legendary "Busby Babes" dazzled football fans with their youth, talent, and fearless style of play—until tragedy struck in the Munich Air Disaster of 1958, cutting short the lives and careers of many of these gifted young men.

But five years before that fateful day, the future icons of English football took to the field in a much humbler setting: the Carlisle Grounds in Bray. On Tuesday, May 19th, 1953, the Manchester United Youth Team—already showing flashes of brilliance and including the now legendary Duncan Edwards faced off against a spirited Bray Wanderers/Rathfarnham XI. The match was part of a summer tour masterminded by United manager Matt Busby, made possible through the efforts of a local football enthusiast and Bray Wanderers stalwart, Mick Donegan.

This short documentary brings that historic evening to life through the vivid memories of Bray Wanderers’ goalkeeper Shay Ryan, one of the few still able to recount the game from the pitch. Adding depth and context is the late author Colm Keane, whose insight provides a valuable historical lens. Produced and narrated by Mark Quinn, this is a rare glimpse into a forgotten chapter of football history - when the Busby Babes played Bray.

When Man United came to Bray, nudists went to Naylor's Cove and Liz Anne's heartfelt goodbye.

This week we head back to the 1950s when Bray Wanderers took on the mighty Manchester United. We hear from the last surviving member of that Bray team! We also dive into the swimming glory days at Naylor’s Cove, where nudists once braved the outdoor pools, and we recall the curious segregation on Bray beach marked by a flagpole and 150 yards of ‘no man’s land’. Plus, Café owner Liz Anne Molloy bids a warm farewell to the customers she’s cherished for three decades.
