Appreciation Night
In the local country music world and for years on Shannonside local radio the name Frank Kilbride is synonymous with great music. Frank has given his life to the progression of country and Irish and with great affect. For all his hard work it is only right and fitting that on this Thursday night in the Longford Arms Hotel a huge number of national and local stars will grace the stage to recognise Frank in an Appreciation Night. National acts include Jimmy Buckley, Philomena Begley, Foster & Allen, Brendan Shine, and Kathy Durkin will be joined with the very best of local talent in this celebration of Frank and country and Irish music.
There will also be a special appearance of two footballing legends Pat Jennings and Niall Quinn.
There will be an auction and raffle on the night with music in the bar following the concert.
