The fundraising concert was held to raise funds for maintenance and repair on the iconic Church building

The landmark St.Cronan's Church in Roscrea, standing on the hill approaching Roscrea from the old Dublin, road was the venue for James Kilbane and his accompaniest John Flatley for a stunning concert to raise funds for the building.

They brought a great and welcoming crowd a 'foot tapping and hum along special' of Country and Gospel songs.
