Dr.Veronica Dunne Singers

The Landmark Hotel welcomes President McAleese and Dr. McAleese
for a Gala Evening with the Veronica Dunne Singers

Carrick Water Music Festival welcomes the Veronica Dunne Singers to Carrick on Shannon for a night to remember.

The crème de la crème of Carrick society turned out in force on Friday 15th August to attend the highlight of the Carrick Water M usic Festival - the welcome return of the Veronica Dunne Singers. For many the Carrick Water Music Festival is not complete without the great lady’s involvement and the audience was not disappointed. 

Guests were welcomed by the gentle strumming of local harpist Cathy Martin before making their way into the grandiose splendour of the newly refurbished ballroom in the Landmark Hotel. An air of expectancy hung in the air. President Mary McAleese, her husband Dr Martin McAleese, Diarmuid Hegarty - Chairman of the Friends of the Vocal Arts, representatives of the Carrick Chamber of Commerce, local business people, politicians and opera fans were all in attendance. The evening was a feast for the senses and the palate. Compliments must go to the hard working staff of the Landmark Hotel for a flawless evening of superb food and service. After a sumptuous five course banquet, the audience settled back and let the performers enchant them with their incredible talents.
