Noelle McAlinden is presenting a special episode of her series 'The Art of Conversation' as part of Festival Lough Erne.

For The Art of Conversation with Noelle McAlinden - On Lough Erne, Noelle is joined by a number of special guests - friends, artists and creatives, as she celebrates how the Fermanagh Waterways have inspired and nourished passions and creativity across artforms on unique vessels and voyages on the lough.

"We welcome back The Lovely Leitrim Barge and host performances by the talented Clara Treacy, with her unique vocal style and lyrics," said Noelle, outlining the episode.

She continued: "We speak to Angela and Mark Mulholland on their beautiful Nola Barge and hear about their journey as they navigated their way to the Fermanagh Lakelands, and the inspiration behind the Cruising Quilter."

During the episode, Noelle is joined by the Row The Erne crew, who highlight their ongoing invitation and success in celebrating the health benefits of The Manapian Curragh, and Pat Lunny, who is renowned for his photography, contribution to community and Guardian of our Lakes.

The special Lough Erne edition of the series will also feature the gifted words of poet Kate O'Shea and a performance from the prolific singer-songwriter Conor Phillips.

"Join us as we continue to make an exhibition of ourselves on and along the Waterways on boats, barges and boardwalks in the unique Island Town of Enniskillen, with insights and stories that will make your heart sing," said Noelle.

The Art of Conversation with Noelle Mc Alinden - on Lough Erne was recorded by Padraig Lunny and will be streamed as part of the Festival Lough Erne programme on September 19.
