Voices of Longford donates €5,000 to Longford Hospice, St Joseph’s NS and St Christopher’s following successful debut show

Voices of Longford was set up to harness the talent that exists in the community and if anyone has seen their maiden show they can surely attest to that.

It is a not for profit, community group with a vision to cover all aspects of the performing arts, dance, music, drama and song.

They had great support from locals when a group of old friends from the group went out initially through fundraisers, bucket collections, Peter Costello’s fantastic Karaoke night in the Bottleneck, table quiz in the Tally-Ho sponsored by Paddy Hanlon’s Gala and support from many other businesses for raffles and a lotto fundraiser.

All these wonderful people, businesses and locals helped them have that great sell out show in February this year 2026.

As a result of that they have raised and donated five thousand euros to local charities and groups.

The dust hasn’t settled yet but the crew and stage crew are still in close touch with each other and are planning another table quiz on May 21 so keep that in your diaries to do list.
