It’s always a thrill to see cultural magazines being added to the shrinking stable, especially when they are of the calibre of Holy Show.
Presenting “all flavours of life, society and culture through the eyes of Ireland’s artists and writers,” issue one includes a gonzo travelogue to dawn Easter mass in Kerry, an essay on bogs, family and Alzheimer’s disease; a conversation set round a kitchen table in Kinvara about a long lost portrait and musings on a piece of RTÉ archival footage from Halloween in County Cavan 1986 with original illustrations.
Contributors include Lisa McInerney, Senator Lynn Ruane, Gary Coyle, Roisín Kiberd, Laura Sheeran and Manchán Magan.
