Last August in St Mary’s Collegiate Church, Youghal, a packed audience witnessed a superb evening of music hosted by the Epping Forest Band from Essex in England under the direction of Denis Desmond, a local Youghal man now residing the the UK.
Denis and his colleagues were delighted to have been able to donate proceeds form the concert in the sum of €2,028 to ACT (Aid Cancer Treatment) at Cork University Hospital on Sep 2nd and would like to thank the very generous support of the people and friends of Youghal.
Mary Murphy - Director ACT, Colette Cooley, Denis Desmond, Conductor Epping Forest Brass Band and Ber Ryan -Director ACT with members of the Desmond family and directors.
Also participating in the concert were a number of local musicians: The Killeagh Choir, members of the Youghal Pipe Band and a bodhran player. The variety of sounds, music and comedy elements entertained the appreciative audience for almost 3 hours.

The band told www.youghalonline.com that they had a wonderful weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality extended to them in Youghal. Well done to Denis and the Desmond family, The Epping Forest Band and all the musicians and volunteers who took part in the wonderful concert and the generous donation to this worthy cause.
