Defence Forces Bands and special guest West End Star, Molly Lynch will combine for an evening of military favourites and popular songs.
Hailing from Cork and trained at the Cork School of Music and London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Molly has lit up stages from the West End to national theatres with her beautifully expressive voice and magnetic stage presence.
Whether stealing hearts as Cathy in The Last Five Years, bringing charm and wit to Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, or enchanting audiences in both classic and contemporary musicals, Molly’s artistry is as versatile as it is captivating.
This is the highlight of the year for all military band enthusiasts. The proceeds of the concert are donated to the Defence Forces Benevolent Fund and Soldiers Aid Fund.
The event sponsor is the Irish Blood Transfusion Service
