Description

Sponsored By ESB ( Cathleen’s Falls)

Ballyshannon Brass and Reed Band was established in 1899 and we revitalised ourselvesin 2020 thanks to funding from our local County Councillors , Barry Sweeny, Micheal Mc Mahon and Micheal Naughton.With their financial support through Donegal County Council,we were able to procure a professional Musical Director Don Swain and the band has grown from 15 to 30 members!

There has always been a strong link between the ESB power station (Cathleen’s Falls) and the ESB staff provided many musicians for both band and the town.Charlie Mc Gettigan was one of these staff members and ESB Networks are delighted to sponsor this concert to highlight their contribution to the Music tapestry of Ballyshannon over the past 77 years.

We will be thrilled to showcase our special guest Charlie Mc Gettigan , Ballyshannon Brass and Reed Band, Fermanagh Concert Band and our own Farrah Bogle.Join us for some big band and big sound pieces such as “ Salute to Glen Millar” “ American Patrol” and “Sentimental Journey”

We look forward to seeing you all for our fundraising concert.  All Welcome
