200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo
The next HSC will be on Thursday next 4 June at 9pm sharp
DOWNSTAIRS in The Abbey Tavern
Terry Moylan from Na Piobairi Uilleann – The Pipers’ Club will lead a night of songs
remembering the Battle of Waterloo
‘HE WENT THROUGH THE LOWLANDS LIKE THUNDER …’
Here is the Howth June notice for the event and also Terry Moylans song sheet – which at the end carries some HSC Club news. It would help if you could print off Song Sheets and bring them with you – or at least those songs you might sing. We will run some off but it is a bumper edition!
Finally, please forward this notice and its attachments to friends and those you feel would be interested.
Terry is expert in this field and it will be a very good night.
Thank you for your support
