From warm up to wrap up the evning was great - and how lovely it was to see former Directors (including the original!) Martin Cahill and Ciaran Tackney, and the choir's first Secretary Jeannette Gibbs in the audience along with former officers Eithne McKay, Noel Monahan and many more familiar faces.
Full report and photographs of the concert proper will follow - meantime here we are warming up (and checking our pearlies!).
