DIGNITY AND GOOD HUMOUR
“Nostalgic, yes, but Vanishing Ireland is successful because it maintains the dignity and good humour of the people whose lives it explores, without straying into faux sentimentality.’ Cara Magazine
THE NOBLE GOAL
Turtle Bunbury and James Fennell's mission has always been to preserve the stories of the older generations, bringing to life the world that our grandparents knew in a manner that appeals to a 21st century audience. Their great hope is that this will inspire children and grandchildren to interview their own parents and grandparents, as well as older friends and neighbours, creating a record of memories for future generations.
