The next HSC is not next Thursday but 12th May when “The Night Before Larry Got Stretched” host the night.
“The Night Before Larry Got Stretched” is a traditional singing session run by a collective of young singers with an emphasis on encouraging singers of all ages to come together to share songs. They usually meet in the Cobblestone on the first Sunday of the month – so we are delighted that they will come and join us for an evening of songs.
There will be a bus back into town.
Also many thanks for all your support at our Malinky concert last Thursday. A great night was had by all.
