Our thanks to Bryan for a wonderful presentation to get series 6 up and going .Thanks to all who played and sang and to the the huge crowd who showed up . It was great to see so many young people there and of course a great tune after . Thanks Triona in Lyons Bar where the tunes were flying.”

We are very sorry to hear about Anne’s passing, she did an incredible amount of work for the Mercy Hospital and we are so grateful to have had her support. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time

Joan O’ Connell – “I would like to let millstreet.ie know that Ann Keane was mentioned, at a ceile workshop, in Delaware USA, in October. Pádraig and Róisín McEneany were giving the workshop, he was teaching us the Aubane set, which he received from Anne at the gathering in Killarney. Anne also composed that set herself. I was there with my daughter Michelle. We had a great weekend. Thank you Anne, rest in peace xx” (At the Greater Washington Ceili Club Fall Fling, October 2019)
