The musical

Here's what's been keeping me busy for the last couple of months (not bad for someone who can't really sing or dance) - lovin' it.

The Farmer's Daughter: A Rockabilly Musical
Bailenagee is getting ready for the 'Farmer of the Year' competition... but is Bailenagee ready for the farmer's daughter?
Love knows no boundries in this tongue-in-cheek musical about a girl dressing up as a man and winning the cash-prize... and the girl!
Recently written by Cork's own choir Mná Mná, and directed by Evelyn Quinlan, The Farmer's Daughter: A Rockabilly Musical is one of a kind and guarantees to get you swingin' and singin' Alleluia in the aisles.
