Training continues on the usual night and commences at 8.00pm sharp, indoor and outdoor footwear/ gear required.
Cultural Night. Our monthly Traditional Irish Music session took place last Friday. This was a terrific night’s entertainment. It’s always great to have new musicians come along and take part in these sessions. It’s such a confidence booster for any budding talent. In addition, we were treated to beautiful singing from Tara Gillsenan. Truely outstanding. Thank you to all our local musicians, plus everyone who turned out in force, from Corcaghan and Monaghan C.C.É. branches. Thank you to Paula, Margot, Anne & Patricia, for the tasty treats and the cuppa tea! So remember to keep the 2nd Friday free, next session takes place on Friday 8th March. We look forward to seeing you all there. Refreshments served. Everyone welcome!
