They are deeply grateful to the musicians, performers, volunteers and members of the public who gave so generously of their time, talent and support. The atmosphere created throughout the day reflected the very best of community spirit and goodwill.
Our appreciation also extends to the foundations represented and supported on the day — Ashling Murphy Memorial Foundation, Dillon Quirke Foundation, North Tipperary Hospice and Offaly Hospice — whose presence highlighted the importance of the causes being supported.
Special thanks are due to Ryan’s Shop & Bar (The Auburn Lodge), who provided a venue at short notice and offered outstanding food and hospitality to performers, organisers and attendees throughout the event.
They also wish to acknowledge Tipp FM, and in particular Eamon O’Dwyer and the Down Your Way team, for recording and sharing the spirit of the day with a wider audience.
Finally, they thank the people of Roscrea and the wider midlands for their continued generosity and support. The success of the event once again showed how music can bring communities together in support of meaningful causes.
Where words fail, music heals.
