Memories are made of this - Roscrea Heritage Society had a poignant start to National Heritage Week with their Black Mills Session in tribute to their beloved friend and local musician, Anthony Bourke.

"We would like to thank everyone who played a part in making tonight’s tribute so special especially Valerie, Erin, Dinny, Charly and Mick.

"Huge thanks to all who attended this session, your support is always greatly appreciated and because of you, we were delighted to donate all proceeds of ticket sales (€550) to Roscrea Hospice in Anthony’s memory", the Heritage Society said.
