I would like to update you on a few recentevents which I had the great pleasure ofperforming....End of April 2014 I was delighted to be invited
to entertain at the Chicago/ Galway sister city committee dinner at the G Hotel Galway Ireland.....met loads of my friends from Chicago and we
had a wonderful night. Early May 2014 my partner John Staunton and I entertained at a beautiful gathering at "The Mayo Emigrants" in Breaffy
House, Castlebar Ireland.
It was a very special evening " The Lord Mayor of Birmingham" and “Lady Mayoress” were present as well as other dignitaries and special
guests. We had a great evening and we even got them all to sing along with us.In mid May Bob Brolly from BBC Radio ( Coventry) invited both
John and I
as his special guests to sing a few songs and have a chat on his new TV show "4 Ireland" which will be aired in July. We will keep you posted
about that event as we are both very excited about that. Also appearing on that show will be Dominick Kirwan and Frank McCaffrey.
On May 14th John and I produced/ hosted and performed at our second annual fundraising concert "Rhythms In May" at the “Mcwilliam Park
Hotel”Claremorris, Ireland, in aid of "Western Care". 'Western Care' are a charitable organisation who do untold work with children and adults
with
learning, intellectual and associated disabilities in the West of Ireland. It was a massive evening with a fantastic turnout and we had such great
guests
as country singer Seamus McGee from Donegal, funny man Frank Ford who was just hilarious. Also appearing wereEurovision star and Radio
Presenter Marc Roberts,local talent Tenor David Langan from Ballinrobe and our Musical Director was Brendan O' Byrne (Ashford Castle).We
were thrilled with the monies we raised for 'Western Care' and we look forward to many more events like this.A few photos for you to enjoy from
