The landmark St.Cronan's Church in Roscrea, standing on the hill approaching Roscrea from the old Dublin, road was the venue for James Kilbane and his accompaniest John Flatley for a stunning concert to raise funds for the building.
They brought a great and welcoming crowd a 'foot tapping and hum along special' of Country and Gospel songs.
It has been nine years since James last performed in Roscrea.
