A free concert of Christmas music and song at Mayo church

Castlebar Concert Band holds its annual Christmas Concert - billed as Holly Jolly Harmonies - in the Church of the Holy Rosary tomorrow night (Thursday), at 8 p.m.

As well as a wide range of festive favourites performed by the band, the event will feature local soprano Emily Tunney and the choir of St. Gerald's College, Castlebar.

Admission is free - but donations to the band can be made at the door.

In the aftermath of Storm Bram, the concert will set the tone for an upbeat, cheerful and bright Christmas season.

In line with a long-established tradition, members of the band will also be out and about in the town on the lead-up to December 25 playing their new range of Christmas carols for everybody to enjoy.
