Saturday 19th March 2005 - "Wakin' of Saint Patrick"

At The Railway Club, Three Bridges, Crawley

The night hosted was hoted by television and west-end actor, Donal Cox and involved storytelling, a themed Irish dance performance telling the story of St Patrick and live music.   Donal introduced dance routines from the O'Brien School of Irish Dancing and delivered excepts from a number of the writings of Saint Patrick as well as additional material.

Those of us that have heard the stories of "a wake" may think of it as a hooley with singing and dancing. That is what we we wanted it to be! A night of singing, dancing and fun. All proceeds went to Saint Catherine's Hospice and additional local charities.
