A large crowd enjoyed the last Irish Night of 2008 that was linked to the 10th anniversary Terryglass Arts Festival, and what a wonderful festival it was!

The Irish Night hosted a variety of talent which included Andrew McCarthy, Bob Foyle, Annette, Richie Burke, Seamus and Mark O'Sullivan, Riosin, Cliodhna and Manus Heenan, Anne Marie Coen, Emma and Martha, Riana, Bill McCarthy, Cecily, Sinead, Danny Morrissey, a yodeller, the resident dancing clown, the Nenagh Set Dancers, also the mystery guest- well done Ger Heenan. The set dancers from Nenagh were in top form and stepped it out in style. A thank you is extended to one and all who contributed in any way to these very special evenings.

Our annual Charity Jumble Sale will be held over the October Bank-holiday Weekend in Terryglass Community Hall. So now is the time to sort out jumble to help us to help others.
