It was a typical Wild Atlantic Way hooley for Noel Cunningham’s birthday.
He certainly doesn’t do things by half, as he was joined by 300 guests for a gala dinner and superb entertainment from The Donegal Tenors. Vladimir Jablokov and The Minor Tones entertained guests from all over Ireland and Abroad.
Those in attendance included President Mary McAleese and her husband Martin, the British Ambassador to Ireland Paul Johnston and his wife Nicola, Pat The Cope Gallagher and his wife Anne, Mandy and Ger Maher, Chef Brian Mc Dermott and his wife Brenda, Mary Kennedy, Grainne Seoige and Leon Jordaan, Marty and Maria Whelan, Alan Hughes, Norma Smurfit, Jacky Lavin and Bill Cullen, Richard Curran and Kathy Donagh.
What a night!
