The night proved to be a tremendous success with great music from Ronnie and the Reptiles and The Glencarn pulling out all the stops to serve up a great meal.
Stephen Dignam did an extremely professional job as MC with many of the audience getting nervous that they were next in line for a ribbing. All in all, a wonderful Faugh’s night.
