We manages to get out once again before Christmas to do carols in the Farmers Market and then around the town of Skibbereen. We have a few new members in our outing this time, Alex on cornet, Eoin on Trombone and Mick on Euphonium.

Carols in Town again
We were back the following weekend again in Skibbereen to play more Christmas music and our band music while people shopped. Was a mixed weather day of cold wintry showers but the craic was good.
Carols in Town
We were out and about after the lighting of Skibbereen Christmas lights the previous evening to play some tunes while people shopped. Weather was nice but you could feel the cold winter creeping in.

Mc Carthy, is photographed with the band.On the right of the middle row stands Joe O'Sullivan, who subsequently joined the band as clarinet player.The youngest member in the front row right, playing cymbals, is of course Frankie Fahy. Fr Tim O'Donovan provided spiritual guidance
Other great supporters, who travelled with the band to Killarney, include: Denis & Chris O'Driscoll,JJ Daly (Wine Vaults & Hillside), Neilly Cadegon, Denis Davis, John O'Connor.
