This is an opportunity for the Millstreet Community & for past members to join in with the celebrations of the band.
This Patrick’s Day marks 60 years playing in the Millstreet St.Patricks Day Parade, and that 60 years is a huge achievement because it is 60 years of unbroken service, the kind of which is rarely seen these days.
