An enjoyable night

Last Friday I went to a variety night in the Kingston Hotel. It was a fundraise for my very good friend Mary.



On St Patrick's day,shes going to exhibit her beautiful paintings in the Princess Grace Library. It a well deserved honour for such a very talented artist. I'm sure her watercolours will be very well recieved. But because of her disability she needed to fundraise for the specialised medical equipment she'll need on the holiday.



Tony McArdle and his friends played some traditional music. They are a very talented bunch of musicians and although there were several groups on stage, they were able to marry their sounds. I must confess that I'm not a great lover of Trad music but it was a very enjoyable session.



The Raging Hormones were next on stage with their version of Riverdance. They were very funny and very talented.

There was an interval. To my shame I didn't buy any raffle tickets. But Liz at our table won lots of the prize. Then Mary made a speech. Then we were entertained by Mary, who sang "The Rose". I must admit I was moved to tears.

I hope the night made pots of money. Yes I will be joining Mary in Monaco. As her friend I have to support her in this opportunity of her lifetime.
