We had a great night out at our annual comedy benefit this year with loads of great laughs from new Kerry comic Bernard Casey, Camden Irish funny girl Roisin Conaty, hyperactive and hilarious stand up Jason Byrne and Ardal O’Hanlon, our patron in top form. We followed up with a party in the bar of the lovely Union Chapel with world beating banjo player Brian Kelly and friends and our very talented volunteer Caroline Regan on the concertina for a musical evening par excellence.
Two days later we were driving to Sligo with a group of returners of which more later.
