We had a wonderful, wonderful night in the Park Hotel for A Night of Traditional Music. The hall was full. The music was great. We all enjoyed ourselves. It was a night to remember for a very long time.
Thank you to each and every person who helped in every way to make the night such a great success. A very special thank you to all of our pupils who were models of good behaviour on the night. They listened attentively and loved every minute of it. Many, many compliments were paid to them by other members of the audience.
Finally, to Mr. Power's amazing tin whistle band - you were fantastic!!! They got a huge cheer when they were finished.

Speaking about a performance at the Sydney Opera House in 2009, the Sydney Morning Herald said;
“His phrasing and meticulous employment of bent notes and timbral alterations cracked the heart of the tune wide open, making it unspeakably desolate, yet as beautiful as death itself”
