If Music be the Food of Love

Get ready everybody for some first class music and singing at the forthcoming Con Curtin Festival.

There’s an eclectic mix of music, singing, history and so much more.

Check out the extensive programme on the Con Curtin Facebook page.

It promises to be a terrific event with something for everyone.

Flemings in the Frame: Mom Maggie Ann Fleming was a major ladies day fashion prizewinner at Listowel races and her daughter, Lauren’s singing prowess impressed the adjudicators at the county fleadh and now goes forward to the Munster fleadh finals.

Going Places in Style

The Fleming household has had a lot of accolades given to it of late.

They’ll be needing a bigger mantelpiece for sure. The ever popular Maggie Ann was awarded runner-up prize at the recent Listowel Races Ladies Day fashion competition.

A picture in lemon, Maggie Ann had a beautiful dress from Rosie’s Closet and a headpiece by Cathriona King of Galway…

…and Lauren’s Singing.

To follow this, her daughter Lauren came second in the county fleadh in the singing competition and now goes forward to the Munster fleadh.

Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear Lauren sing will feel it’s only fitting that her talent has been formally recognised. Wishing you best of luck Lauren. Do Brosna proud.
