Bill Power is an historian and international award-winning photographer who spent two decades exploring the Munster Blackwater, often referred to in the 19th century as 'The Irish Rhine'. In 2019, he became the founding chairman of Saint George's Arts and Heritage Centre in Mitchelstown. Since its foundation in 2019, €800,000 has been raised to convert the former church into a superb venue for the performing arts. He is the author of 14 books, the most recent of which was 'The Blackwater, History and Images from the Irish Rhine,' published in 2023. This illustrated talk will be based on his photography of the Blackwater and stories from the river that is the fourth longest in Ireland. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the talk.
