Hi all , I missed out on our National singing competition this year,
because of my golf holidays. I just had to mention this bit of news
I got,.when asking my friend who won what etc etc., The winner of
the contralto solo " The Cherry Tree " {Armstrong Gibbs} was
won by a man. this is a first in Ireland, has this happened anywhere
else.Just wondering.
Regards Leo ----Drogheda
