Well this was another cracking night, where it seems that once again all of Granard made it down to Fays for a memorable night of ceol agus craic as Shindig and the incredible Lost Boys put on an amazing show and thanks to Sinead our Burger + Pint offer kept the masses happy and well lubricated.
It was amazing to see so many familiar faces out and it was a really humbling experience to receive so much support YET AGAIN from the people from my hometown Granard... It truly is a hell of a community! Big thanks to our draw sponsors on the night who were so generous with their prizes and to everyone who took part on the night, you all helped to raise a whopping €830 and I hope all those winners enjoyed their prizes and vouchers. Those sponsors are all still on the right hand column on this page and I hope you can all support their excellent businesses. Beyond the craic the night was an amazing fundraiser raising -
Raffle - €830 thank you sponsors!!! Donations - €834 BBQ - €351 creating an total for the night raised of €2,015 |
The revelation of the night had to be The Lost Boys, who literally just acquired their name on the night and really Shindig might be looking for another opening act such was the impression Adrian Mulvey's 2 young protegee boys made!!
They were truly awesome and we will all be hearing a lot more from these two in the future. A TASTE OF THE LOST BOYS |

Special mention must go to Sinead Fay of Fay's Bar, Granard who completely unsolicited was behind donating the annual Fay's Place Christmas Draw which raised €829
Sinead also managed to sell 20 tickets for the Comedy Craicfest to add another €440
Her own in-house #GetThatManAPint promotion from customers in the bar raised €260
It all means that Sinead had a hand in a total of raising €3544... amazing!!
