Gina Moxley: Putting my play on at the Crawford has stirred old memories
Gina Moxley brings the immersive I Fall Down to Crawford Art Gallery as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.
As a kid I was really into drawing and writing. I wasn't that interested in anything else. A very unusual couple used to come into our bar (The Angler's Rest in Carrigrohane, near Cork), and the woman, Margaret, would always ask to see my drawings and make her posies from the garden.
They were a gas pair, very exotic for the time. They drove a Citroen DS and dressed like film stars. Mornings were when they'd come for a few drinks, maybe to get it out of the way. She always ended up doing a twirly, improvised flamenco up and down the bar. All clicking fingers and Ha-cha-cha's. I adored her, so full of life and gaiety. Of course, she may just have been locked.
Unlimited access. Half the price.
