Concert
Thanks to everybody who helped make the concert in the Abbey Court Hotel such a successful fundraiser. As well as raising much-needed income for the club, patrons enjoyed a fantastic night’s entertainment. Muriel O’Connor, Annette Doyle, Jonny Carroll, Paul Malone and Trudi Lalor proved to be a big hit with the audience. We are indebted to Fran Curry of Tipp Fm who provided musical accompaniment for the artists and to Tony Brook of Tipp FM who proved to be a popular and competent master of ceremonies. A special word of thanks to Tipp FM CEO and MacDonaghs senior manager, Liam O’Shea who spearheaded the whole venture.
