Culture and Fine Music at the Killarney Avenue, Thursday Evening 30th June

We had a lovely night at the Library with a nice crowd and lovely atmosphere.
It was an honour to be joined by Sean Treacy and Grace Foley.


Sean played a selection of pieces on guitar which convinced us all, both of the beauty of the instrument and Sean's obvious talent and expertise.


Grace Foley's beautiful voice enthralled the audience as she sang a number of songs which she described as "close to her own heart". She was accompanied by the talented, Noel O'Sullivan.


Dóchas members provided poetry, monologues and readings to add to the occasion.
Mary Murphy, Grace Foley, Liz Ryan, Patricia McSherry, Noel O'Sullivan, Sean Treacy

Grace Foley's beautiful voice charmed us all



Séan Treacy displayed his talent and expertise
