Saturday’s celebration of local music and culture commemorated Johnny O’Brien and Dan Favier who both passed away this year.

"A huge thank you to everyone, including our sponsors, who made last Saturday’s Rambling House in memory of Johnny and Dan such a brilliant night with the best of talent on display,” said one of the organisers Seamus Healy. “Thanks to all the people who worked so hard on the night and the days and weeks leading up to it, thanks to all the entertainers and supporters who turned out and made the night so magical. Johnny and Dan would be proud for sure. Looking forward to the next one already.”
