Roscommon prepares for a summer of entertainment

This June at Roscommon Arts Centre, there’s lots to see and do as the summer season of events continues, from music, drama, to children’s shows and visual art events. If you are looking for a night of fantastic music that will have up on your feet then The Story of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem on Friday June 6 is a must. A trip down memory lane, in a show that traces the story of the Clancys from their early days in the paint shop of a car factory in Cleveland to international fame and stardom, including a special performance for President John F Kennedy in The White House. Narrated by RTÉ’s Cathal MacCabe and featuring toe-tapping, sing-along music by The Crooked Jacks, this exciting folk and ballad group deliver those great traditional songs with an excitement and authenticity that brings audiences to their feet time and time again.
