A Fantastic 60's Night

A Full House and unlike the actual sixties Teddy Boys weren't banned!
which is a good job for this Parish Priest.

      "Father Ted"

Nostalgia was the name of the game with many people commenting on how they had been whisked back forty odd years to the time of their youth, with memories of the Abbey Youth Club that used to take place at the Abbey Hall on Friday nights during the 50's/60's.

Father Maguire was not the only priest letting his hair down, Father Jones used his Liverpool charm to find himself a jive partner.

       "You Dancin?"
       " You Askin?"

Thank you to all those that got into the spirit of the event and dressed up for the occasion here we have our faithful trio (dressed to kill) chatting up our own "Father Ted".

                                         Just having a good time

What an absolutely fabulous night and we thank Kate, Larry & the gang featuring the Sixties Band The Herbals for a packed programme of entertainment, they are all wonderful people dedicated to helping others.

If you wanted a ticket but couldn't get one, or were turned away at the door we are really sorry, you missed a momentous night of entertainment.  Next time the tickets go on sale get yours early and guarantee your place.
