The annual Padraic Colum Gathering has become a much-anticipated date in the Longford literary calendar to everyone who loves poems like ‘The Drover’ and ‘An Old Woman of the Roads’ and of course the beautiful ballad ‘She Moved through the Fair’.
The Colum Gathering was established in 2017 to celebrate the life and work of one of Longford’s best known and best loved writers and poets.
A very important and gratifying part of this event has been the involvement of members of the Colum family, many of whom travelled from around the globe to be in Longford for this special weekend.
