LETTERKENNY and District Pipe Band will host their version of Burns Night on Saturday, January 24 in Conwal Parish Hall Letterkenny with doors open from 7pm.
They will not have a lavish banquet nor will the whisky be flowing but they will have a lovely stew with neaps and tatties and of course haggis.
There’s a lively programme of music, song, dance and a bit of comedy set to make it another enjoyable night.
Each year the band hosts a very popular show and people who come once often keep coming back for more.
The money raised on the night goes to keeping the band on the road for another year as they travel north and south as well as Scotland to compete in competitions during the summer.
The senior band members teach the young people involved to play bagpipes and drums.
“We have the traditional toast to the haggis, with a dram of orange and one of our younger pipers pipe in the haggis, and another member recites the Selkirk Grace, before the meal is served. The night finishes with Auld Lang Syne,” one of the organisers explained.
“If you would like to see the talent of these people as well as other local talents please come along for a night that promises to be entertaining and very family orientated.”
