Everyone loves books at Christmas. It's time to light the fire, settle back with a cuppa, and get lost in a good story. So during the week Conor Tallon called in to Waterstones in Cork and asked John Breen for his top selections this year!

There are 2 sensational pantos in Cork, designed for adults once all the children have gone home. The Improvised Comedy Panto takes over the stage of Cork Opera House late at night when Sleeping Beauty has retired. Audiences are treated to a different panto every single night as it's made up on the spot, from dialogue, impossible situational comedy, original songs and dance routines - and not a script or rehearsal in sight! Declan Wolfe, has joined the cast this year and came in to chat with Elmarie and Conor. While across the River Lee, Angela Newman and the team of the Adult Panto squeeze every ounce of naughtiness out of every double entendre you can come up with as they bring Robin Hood to the upstairs stage of The Spailpín Fánach on South Main Street. Tickets for that booked through pantotickets.org

Every single year the Cork Youth Orchestra knock it out of the park at Christmas, as they play to the thousands who queue up to see The Snowman screened in City Hall with the score played live by the Orchestra and the effects all created in front of the audience's eyes. Then at night, the Orchestra plays a Christmas spectacular with guests coming from all over the world to play with them. This year it's Cian Ducrot, and preparations are well underway for the concerts on the weekend of December 10th and 11th. Director Tomas McCarthy and the 3 co-Leaders joined Elmarie Mawe in studio on Sunday.
