    February was an interesting and eventful month for Music Matters Inclusive Choir!

    The highlight of our month was a visit from Kathleen Lynch, TD, who is the Minister for

    Disability, Equality, Older People and Mental Health. She came to our rehearsal onWednesday 13th February, and what an exciting night it was!

    Well done to Denise, Willie and Dominic for presenting gifts to Minister Lynch.Congratulations to Aine for her beautiful violin soloyou all did us proud!

    We all put on a fantastic performance for Minister Lynch, and as the pictures show, she wasreally impressed with our choir! She even clapped along to This Little Light of Mine!

    We are all delighted that Rima Malukaite, our Official Choir Photographer, could comealong and share her time and wonderful photography skills!
