Bailieborough Cancer Comfort Ltd
The committee of Bailieboro Cancer Comfort wishes to extend sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone who supported them throughout 2016. Towards the end of the year we held our Community Variety Concert and raised €3561 and finished off the year with “The Singing Santa’s” raising €4020 on Christmas Eve. A massive “Thank You” for supporting these occasions and right throughout the year. We could not continue to do what we do without the ongoing support that we receive.

The Open Door Sessions: A New Monthly Music and Arts Gathering for Bailieborough.
On Friday next, January 20th the second Open Door Sessions will take place in Fox’s pub Bailieborough. Following on from the very successful and entertaining inaugural night, a new round of musicians and arts professionals will play music and display and talk about their visual work.
Jimmy and Paddy will play music from the 70s through to the present day, providing a Hiberno-Americano acoustic experience, with a dash of humour and good fun.
The talented Liam McCabe is well known locally as a musician and has performed around Cavan and Ireland. This multi-instrumentalist and singer also plays in ‘Heroes in Hiding’, who recently appeared on The Late Late Show (and who will play in the Bailie Hotel, Bailieborough on the 21st of January).
Ireland Deserted is a Photographic Artist from Kells, Co Meath. Her work concentrates on abandoned buildings. Her images always seem to carry the essence of those who lived there. For the most part, they are serene, almost comforting, but each with their own unique character.
Robin James Hurt’s considerable talents as a guitarist, composer and singer have brought him on a rich and varied path as a solo act and with other artists, such as the late great Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners, Sinead O’Connor, Finbar Furey and many others.
As a guitarist he has gained international recognition for unique original compositions as well as fresh rearrangements of traditional material, filling them with love, yearning and raw emotion. As well as appearing on many albums by other acts over the years, Robin has an album and three EPs under his own name. His next album “The Magpie’s Nest” is a collaboration with the virtuoso young Dublin concertina player Ailbhe Nolan, to be released worldwide on 27th January 2017.
Admission is free, but donations will be appreciated!
Information about the inaugural night and future Open Door Sessions can be found on our facebook and twitter pages.
