Unfortunately, due to circumstances, there won't be a South Roscommon Singers Festival/Weekend this October 2024.
Thanks to everybody for your support in the past. It was a great privilege to have met, be entertained and be supported by so many amazing singers and listeners from all corners of the globe down through the years.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU all.
Let's hope - Maybe Next Year!

So sad to hear of the passing of our dear friend Ron Kavana. Ron was a true friend and supporter of our annual singers festival in Knockcroghery. He always had the words of encouragement and support that were truly appreciated at times when it was difficult to keep the show on the road. There was often the odd phone call with his offer of advice or help in the most practical ways possible. Ron was a gentleman true and through and he didn't suffer fools gladly or shy away from the begrudgers - he stood up for honesty and integrity.
Ron, we are going to miss you so much. May you rest in peace my friend.

A chance encounter at a South Roscommon Singers Circle session in Knockcroghery has opened up a whole new world for a local man, who is relishing his big screen debut and being a first-time actor in his mid 70s.
