The two Lyrical Locals Shows which took place in The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon on Saturday, November 25th, provided most enjoyable entertainment to very appreciative audiences.

Great credit is due to the organisers of the shows, to all the participants and also to the many sponsors who donated prizes for a raffle on the night.
