Choir to sing hearts out

- By HUBERT MURPHY

GERRY Simpson and the Augustinia­n Gospel Choir will take to the stage at the Augustinia­n on Friday September 29th for a special fundraisin­g concert (8pm).

A memorial garden, to recall those killed in traffic accidents and those who died by suicide, is being presently prepared at the church.

It os seen as a place for people to go and seek some solace or simply to recall those they loved.

A major feature of the garden is a mural by local artist Ciaran Dunlevy which is presently being worked on.

It is an image of a stained glass window - only done on brick!

The concert will also feature Tomasina McGinnity and Gerry Mulroy. Tickets for the event are €15 and can be obtained for the church office or from Gerry Simpson at 0872606891.

Gerry promises a real mix of performanc­e, with more modern music, with some classics.

‘It should be a very memorable night and we hope to really get people involved with some hand clapping.

‘ The new garden will be very special and we are delighted to be doing our bit for it.’
