Sad News
Our thoughts and sympathy go out to the family of Frank Mc Carthy who passed away this week.
Frank was a well known figure about the town and could often be heard leading a song every weekend and of course over Gala Week from his pub Fiddler’s Green. (All the louder when they claimed the PO)
Frank will be sadly missed by not only his family, but by the many visitors who joined him in the bar over the years and sang their hearts out by the fire.
May He Rest in Peace.
Quiet on Set……
