The choir brought the house down in Treacys Hotel last night. We sang for a number of active retirement groups from across the country. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and festive.
In particular, we'd like to say thanks to Marion Power and her family for inviting us to sing. They provided us with a huge feast after the event, we've never seen food to disappear as quickly!
