| The Quiet night out - that wasn't!! |
|
| When Mary Sheridan left home that
Friday night she though she was off for a quiet night in
the theatre. Wrong! Her family had secretly organised a Knees-up in the Holy Family club to celebrate her 73rd birthday. The food was good; the wine flowed freely and everyone danced to probably the greatest band in the universe – The Duffys. The good looking band leader danced on their table amongst the glasses and plates, and although the cutlery survived, some of the ladies needed a stiff drink! My contact tells me that everyone behaved themselves - (that’s another 50 Hail Mary’s, Ann) UCM’s own paparazzi, Ann Saunders, secretly filmed the evening. These are the few photos we dared to print! |
