PICTURES: Finale of Roscrea Heritage Society's Black Mills Sessions for 2023

ROSCREA Heritage Society held their 2023 finale in the Black Mills Sessions.

The Society would like to thank Dinny Quirke, Bill Smith and Johnny Keegan for seeing out the last of the series of music sessions, when the talented trio regaled the audience with numerous great hits such as Leonard Cohens ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘So long Marianne’, Richard Leigh and Susanna Clark’s ‘Come From The Heart’ and American singer-songwriter Pete Seeger’s ‘Where Have All The Flowers Gone’. A great night was had by all

The society would like to thank every single artist who took to the stage to perform for their monthly sessions.
The music, song and craic have been amazing and thanks also to every member of the audience - your support for the society’s newest venture has been fantastic and very much appreciated.

Last but not least, the society would like to thank the OPW, especially Jacinta, Bernadette and Eileen for their support and use of the stunning venue that is the Black Mills. These sessions could not have taken place without the support of everyone involved and the society looks forward to the return of these monthly sessions in 2024.
