On Friday night the O'Donoghue family, some of whom formed and toured with 'Breda McMahon & The Golden Star' show band lifted the rafters in Kilshanny House with their rousing music and even moved some to take to the floor and dance. They were joined by Charlott's two sons and local musicians. Friends and neighbours came and enjoyed chatting and reminiscing with Ray, Pappy, Charlotte, Angela, Eileen and Maureen about their school days in Kilshanny and going to Thynne's shop for bulls eyes and Peggy's legs!
