The glittering event will feature Liam O Brien and the Million Dollar Swing Band.

He played Dean Martin in the West End’s The Rat Pack touring the UK, Europe and USA – a highlight being singing to a capacity crowd at the Royal Albert Hall, London. His band features well-known Limerick musicians David Irwin, John Daly, Peter Hangan and Bryan Meehan and special guests on the evening include the wonderful Limerick songstress Ciara Meade.

Any assistance offered by the Society is given in a non-judgemental spirit , based on the needs of the individual or family seeking help.

The Limerick Shannon Rotary Club was founded in 1963 and currently has over 20 members. Members of the Limerick Shannon Rotary Club can use their time, talents, professional skills and energy to improve the lives of people in local communities and around the world.
