Lovely upright piano needs a new home. It is around 100 years old, has a beautiful mellow sound, and is currently in Gorey. Perhaps you know a family, school or community group who would enjoy it?

Anyone interested can contact Clare Daly directly. The piano would need to be collected from Gorey.

Kilkenny Musical Society are performing their production of ‘The Hired Man’ in the Watergate Theatre from 6th-10th October, which features Sophie Blaney-Parslow playing the role of Emily Tallentire. Your support would be greatly appreciated! Tickets from www.watergatetheatre.com
