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!
Bray Talking Heads is hosted by Mark Quinn, Leah Kinsella and Pat Hannon. A podcast celebrating the stories, history, and people of Bray, past and present. Whether you're a lifelong Brayite or just discovering this special town, join us for conversations that connect, inspire, and bring our community to life - wherever you are in the world.

Thanks to John Ryan and Peter Carroll for help on this episode, and to Ray Cranley for permission to use of his 2016 watercolour painting of Bray Bridge.

Bray Talking Heads continues the spirit of local storytelling, following in the footsteps of BLB (Bray Local Broadcasting), the beloved community radio station. If you enjoy the podcast, please tell a friend!
