Andrew is 60! 🎉

As Andrew isn’t on social media, we’re posting this here to spread the word about his birthday bash tomorrow night.

The main event of the evening isn’t presents — it’s raising some money for Roscommon Mayo Hospice, which is what Andrew has asked for instead of cards or gifts.

So if you’re coming along, bring yourselves, your best stories and, if you can, a donation for a very worthwhile cause. ❤️

See you tomorrow! 🥂

It's with great sadness that we share the passing of Frank, one of our singing circle regulars, back in August.

We held off on saying anything until now, because we wanted tonight to be a celebration of Frank — the singer, the poet, the man himself.

At 92 years young, he still drove himself to the circle every single month, and every month he brought a song or a poem with him. It was an absolute pleasure to know him and to hear him.

We're holding a tribute night in his memory tonight. All welcome to come along, raise a glass, and sing one for Frank.

Our thoughts are with his wife Frances and all the family.

Rest easy, Frank. You'll be sorely missed.

From all at the Hughes singing Circle ⭕️ Ballinamore Bridge.
