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. 013. From Roller Disco to local lifesavers and a bridge that changed Bray.
Roller-disco mania sweeps Bray, David Edge changes the town forever with the building of Bray Bridge, and we remember the talent and legacy of Fran O’Toole. We also salute Bray’s incredible First Responders - the locals saving locals - plus a few unexpected visitors… spiders on the loose!
