Carols and candles: Foxford set for festive weekend concerts

A spectacular double-header of concerts is to take place in Foxford next weekend.

On Saturday, in the Church of Ireland, BellaCapella Choir together with the Westport Town Hall Choir will perform by candlelight, all for the cause of raising funds towards restoration work at the church. Admission at the door is €20 and it will be followed by a mulled wine and mince pie reception in Foxford’s social services building.

The concert gets underway at 7.30pm.

Then, on Sunday, there’s a wonderfully festive evening in store at St Michael’s Church in Foxford as the Foxford Brass and Reed Band performs its annual Christmas concert. There’s an extra treat in store this year however, as joining the band this year will be traditional musicians from CCÉ Admiral Brown with whom the Brass and Reed band collaborated so brilliantly at this year’s Foxford Traditional Weekend.

Come along to hear all the Christmas favourites. Admission is free but all donations towards Foxford Brass and Reed Band will be gratefully accepted. The concert gets underway at 6pm.
