Athlone Little Theatre to host big night of music as part of Féile na Sionainne build-up

As part of the countdown to the Féile na Sionainne festival in Athlone this August, an evening of music and song will be held in the intimate surroundings of Athlone Little Theatre on Wednesday next, May 15, at 8pm.

The first ever Féile na Sionainne was held last August and, following on from its success, the organisers have been very busy behind the scenes to ensure that it grows from strength to strength for the August Bank Holiday this year.

Next week's night of music and song in Athlone Little Theatre is part of the build up and fundraising for the Féile na Sionainne 2024.

It's being held with the support of Comhaltas Baile Atha Luáin, and acts on the night will include the Fabulous Bonker Boys, The Henshaws and other talented local performers.

Tickets (priced €15, or concessions €12) are still available, and ticket queries can be directed to the Féile na Sionainne social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.

Getting tickets in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Feile Na Sionainne will be taking place in tandem with the Athlone River Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
