Here at OGV HQ we always look forward to JJ Houghs Singing Pub annual festive video.
Great Christmas cheer this year, with a strong subtle message.
Hightighting grief, loneliness, isolation, and the locals who never forget each others pains and woes, especially at Christmas.
So raise a glass to Houghs Singing Pub Banagher County Offaly Ireland.
For always getting one of the true meanings of Christmas spot on.
Remembering loved ones passed and present.
While having the craic with the ones who wander into this traditional Irish pub.
An institution that is under threath, in the current climate.
Use it or lose it lads.
Mick Hough, the main actor in the video is an institution all of his own. An integral part of Hough's annual Christmas add.
The unique singing voice of Ultan Conlon is always flawless and heart felt.
A shining example of a pub singer.
All done with the panache of the manager and conducter of craic, Ger Hough.
The imagination of story creator Harry Prenderfast, and Alan Rogers, maker of ideas to social media fruition.
From the corner of pub in a town that's bouncing back thanks to its great and wild community. Where Hough's holds it all together.
Great to see John Boy Dolan feature to.
A true character and great farmer in the Banagher and surounding areas.
He can add actor to his vast portfolio now. It's official. And of course John Boys dog 'Fly', the best sheep dog in the country.
That Beats Banagher!
Well done one and all. Keep er lit 🔥
Happy Christmas 🎄
