The Calf, Cow and Bull Rocks “End of the World”

The Calf, Cow and Bull Rocks “End of the World”Great trip Out.

The Calf rock has the remains of a Cast Iron Lighthouse on it, google it to read the story about the brave men who escaped with their lives after a storm. The light house was then temporarily placed on the end of Dursey Island whilst the next one and still running was placed on Bull Rock.

Lehanmora Pantomime – Behind the scenes

Sunday 30/12/2018 Richie

Lehanmora Pantomime – Behind the scenes where all the action is. The Pantomime has been a huge success this year. Lots of people involved, Billy and Carina writing the original script. Which of course changes as the practices go by to add in more fun to the show.

Many thanks to the Women’s shed and Ger for creating costumes. A special mention for recently departed Desie Merrigan for writing the great song used in the Panto. “The Blowins and the locals should be friends”

Billy Murray for the set, with help from Ryan, Lilly and Lucy.

Back stage much needed help from Sarah who prompts any one of us who forgets their lines, and Nadette for the fantastic make up.

Watch a short film from back stage here – sound on?
