Concerts in  Wexford, Ennis and Carrick raised a total of just under £5,000 for 3 charities. A superb tour to celebrate our Centenary year and being able to help the charities made it even more worthwhile.
The following photographs capture some moments and memories of the tour. 

Ireland is in sight. View from the Pembroke, Wales to Rosslare Ferry.

Our concert is advertised on a local billboard.

The concert starts with the Wexford Male Voice Choir.

The Wexford Disabled-able choir sing with enthusiasm, energy and joy which gets the audience participating in their songs.

Soloist, Tony Carty sings some favourites.

SMVC and Wexford Male Voice Choirs sing some Joint items as well as some on their own.

Chairman, John Mills and our hosts swap gifts to mark the link formed between the two choirs, which were originally formed several years ago.

Our second stop was at Ennis - the hotel was top class.

Touring is not all about the singing and socialising - we visited a the beautiful coast of the Cliffs of Moher.

Yes, these people are part of the touring group. Tristan and Simon are obviously practising some choreography for our next concert.

Our second concert was at a lovely church in Ennis. Once again we had a great welcome. The photos show the setting and singing at the concert.

And our last port of call was Waterford. We didn't do any glassblowing (although we did perform an inpromptu 'Wise Men Say' in the Waterford Crystal showroom), then we had another wonderful last concert in Saint Nicholas' Church at nearby Carrick-on-Suir.
