Episode 47: Derry Hallowe'en Parade 2022

It's very scary in Derry : This year saw the return of the carnival parade to the city streets and Jeanie, Pauline and Marie-Louise just couldn't resist being there in person. Maybe it was something to do with episode 6 of Season 3, when Derry Girls celebrated Hallowe'en with Fat Boy Slim and the TDG's became mourners at a funeral… Maybe it was reading the history of Halloween Town a new book by local Derry woman Debs Boyle or maybe they just had a serious fear of missing out on the Craic. Whatever the reason, Hallowe'en discussions take a typical diversion past clothes horses, hotel rooms and the terrifying spectre of boyfriends past. Pauline disguises herself as an exhausted podcaster, Marie-Louise as 5 teenagers and a stressed out guardian and someone puts Jeanie in a corner… Join us as the girls try to find each other in the midst of ghosties, ghoulies and things you most definitely don't want to bump into at night. Cue the spooky music… Spark! - who opened the parade https://www.facebook.com/worldbeatersmusic Hallowe’en derryhalloween.com facebook.com/DerryHalloween/ Welcome to Halloween book - buy it here www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BDPMK9MQ Halloween Town facebook.com/ourtownhalloween/ Norhwest Carnival Initiative who are responsible for the Parade https://www.facebook.com/NorthWestCarnivalInitiative Little Acorns Bookstore - Jenni Doherty https://en-gb.facebook.com/LittleAcornsBookstore/ Memories of Derry Hallowe’en collected in new book WELCOME TO HALLOWE’EN TOWN by Deborah Boyle (there’s also a film which can be found on the links below) available on amazon and good bookstores including Little Acorns Bookstore derryjournal.com/news/people/new-book-of-derry-halloween-memories-3882686 facebook.com/ourtownhalloween/ instagram.com/realcheckmedia/ twitter.com/RealCheckMedia/status/1583533583817285632?s=20&t=6PQm6ZGSiqBA-uoRsPWupA Planning your trip visitderry.com/derry-girls You can hear our special Hallowe’en episodes from last year - Ep 26 and Ep 27 podfollow.com/1518036400 Madeline McCully - Derry based Storyteller who told the story of the haunted convent on Pump Street! facebook.com/GlensStorytelling/posts/madeline-mccully-one-of-our-group-of-excellent-tellers/2110911909041750/ For more information about Talking Derry Girls, go to: www.thebiglight.com/talkingderrygirls
