Sat. June 30th
After an excellent night we have our first
Semi-Final team, Mary Deeney's were the winners last night.
Congratulations to both teams, the competition was extremely close with a
margin of just 1 point between the teams. Both teams have set a very
high standard for the remaining teams so good luck to all. Below are
some photos from Saturday night so if you haven't been to the Back-to-Back
this will give you a flavour of what you are missing!

Friday July 6th
On Friday July 6th we had the second heat in the
Back to Back competition. Another big crowd turned out to see the Rock
Bar team sing against the Irish Emeralds. Music and singing from both
teams was of very high standard again but unfortunately only one team can go
through. The Rock Bar team were the winners last night so
congratulations to them.

Friday July 13th
Another excellent night was had in the Ture Inn on Friday
night with a very high standard of singing from both teams. By another very
close margin the Squealin' Pig team were the winners on the night but
congratulations to both teams. Next week is the last heat in the first
round with the Lynch Mob singing against the Rockin Chairs in the Rock Bar
so see you there! Since this is the final heat we shall also be
announcing who is the highest loser who will go forward with the three heat
winners to the Semi-Finals.

Friday July 20th
Due to circumstances beyond our control both teams failed to
turn up for the Back-To-Back Competition on Friday night. Despite the
let down from the teams a large crowd turned out to support the night.
The band for the night, Dallas, provided excellent music and entertainment
and much appreciation to the many singers who took to the stage throughout
the night.
We now move forward to the next round of the competition -
the Semi-Finals with the following draw:
Squealin' Pig v Irish Emeralds
Ture Inn v Rock Bar
Due to 2 semi-finals on one night we plan to start at 9pm
next Friday so arrive early! Good luck to all next week!
Friday July 27th
Mary Deeneys hosted the Semi-Finals of the
Back-to-Back to a packed out bar & lounge. Each of the four teams
brought along much support along with the many others who support the
back-to-back. The highest standard we have seen so far was played out
on Friday night making it very difficult for our judge. Unfortunately
only 3 teams could go through to the final and those were The Rock Bar, Ture
Inn & Squealin' Pig so congratulations to those teams but commiserations to
The Irish Emeralds who were excellent also and we hope to see you back next
year. See the photos below for some of the highlights from the night.
