The best of order is requested for all singers and musicians!

Well - it turned out to be an excellent day for all. At lunchtime, Francey a gathering of singers assembled inside Nicky's Place to sing sea shanties. Nicky's place is the best place to buy fresh fish in Howth. Of course more singers arrived and they had to move outside, where the singing went on for about an hour and a half! After lunch, the singers headed off to the Angling Club, where all the other singers and listeners arrived. And the most wonderful singing started up, with some music supplied by Sean óg McKenna on banjo with Andrew on guitar, and Graham played some wonderful Flamenco. The singing went on for about 3 and a half hours as the sun shone relentlessly outside - beautiful day!
