RTE Radio 1 live performance

Hi folks, an update from the Pilfers! We've been having an incredible two weeks since we launched our fund it campaign. We've reached 40% of our target and have an incredible 96 donors on board!

We're very grateful to everyone who has come on board and to all the people who have offered to run various fundraising events in the coming weeks to help us with the campaign including The Snug Bar who will host a table quiz tonight, Wednesday 23rd Oct, Tricky's McGarrigles who will raise funds at our gig on Monday Oct 28th, Furey's Spooktacular Open Mic night on Wednesday 30th Oct and Suzy Petersen who will be running a cake sale in November - more details to come   .. BIG thanks to you all.

We have just had a whirlwind 24 hours, we played our usual stompin' Monday night in McGarrigles, packed up after and drove straight to Dublin, slept for 2 hours before heading into the RTE Radio 1 studios to chat with Miriam on the John Murray show and play a tune live, back into the van and back to Sligo. Phew! Have listen to the podcast here:
