John has been a collector of songs for many years, specializing in songs about Gaelic sports, although – surprisingly – he only started singing himself about four years ago. His songs have been a regular and very popular feature at our songnights, so we are pleased to highlight John’s extensive repertoire on this occasion. Needless to say, this songnight will be of special interest to all fans of Gaelic football and hurling. The songnight will start at 9.30pm and all singers will be welcome.                                             

Please note that there will be no songnight in March, as this would coincide with the annual St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The next songnight will be held on Friday, 20 April.

For more information about our songnights, please contact Patsy Carrucan (065 7076154), Willem Verhulst (065 7076244) or Pat O’Donohue (065 7076119).

 

The first songnight of 2012 will take place on Friday, 20 January at O’Donohue’s Pub in Fanore. Our Special Guest will be Andy Guthrie of Lisdoonvarna. Andy was invited last year, but due to unforeseen circumstances that songnight had to be cancelled. We now look forward to another exciting songnight in our successful series, with a true master of the traditional singing style of West Clare and an excellent raconteur of humorous stories as our Special Guest. Fear an Tí will be Michael Clerkin, and the songnight will start at 9.30 pm. All singers are welcome, and we look forward to meeting you on the 20th!
