  • 15. Christmas cheer, festive streets, 12 pubs, and a Bray boast Dun Laoghaire can’t match.
    We soak up the festive buzz on the streets of Bray, from the mad notions of the '12 Pubs of Christmas' to fond memories of presents past. Has Christmas lost its magic to commercialism? And we reveal the curious Christmas boast Bray has - two of something Dun Laoghaire has none of....? Stress-free seasonal cheer, local voices, and a festive banter all the way.

  • Ep. 011 Gen Z share their views, 1930s memories of Wolfe Tone Square, and fiery hotel debates.

    In this episode of Bray Talking Heads, Generation Z weighs in on what's great about Bray and what's missing, while the late Colbert Martin takes us back to the 1930s - when families left the slums of Little Bray for new beginnings in Wolfe Tone Square. We revisit the fiery Sunday night debates that once packed the International Hotel and uncover why house prices in 1950s Bray took a surprising dive. It’s Bray then and now - the voices, the stories, and the spirit that make the town tick.
