ONCE upon a time, every parish and nearly every townland in West Limerick had its own band of Wrenboys when musicians, dancers and singers travelled their locality, bringing fun and laughter into homes on St Stephen’s Day. That day is gone now but the tradition, happily, refuses to die and West Limerick remains a stronghold for the Wrenboys. Carrigkerry remains a national beacon for Wrenboys, having won several national Wrenboy titles over the years. This year was no different as they once more entertained with their music, dancing and superb costumes. To see more pictures from the event, just click 'NEXT'
