Old world charm greeted Tennessee visitors re-linking with Comhaltas, Portlaoise Branch members who had visited USA earlier this year. One of the oldest, traditional Pub & Restaurants established in Ireland since around 1780 and through 8 generations of family, Treacy's provided the ideal venue for the catch up session. Earlier the visitors were welcomed at Aras an Contae and enjoyed a walk about and some shopping on Main St Portlaoise before settling in for a night of music, song and conversation at the edge of the Great Heath.

Áine Mc Geeney's music sets the tempo for the spectaculor story of Mná na hÉireann at the Ambassador Theatre, not far from the GPO, with a star studded cast, October 14 15,16. The story of courage, romance, tragedy and achievement is told through music, song, poetry, and spoken word; brainchild of show director Carol Leavy Joyce.
Comhaltas, Portlaoise Branch proud to support the distinguished composer, singer, instrumentalist and music teacher to so many talented students across Laois Comhaltas and beyond.
