Fundraising Christmas concerts will be taking place in two Athlone churches next Wednesday and Thursday (December 14 & 15).
The 30th annual Samaritans Christmas Concert in the Franciscan Friary is being held on Wednesday night and is completely sold out, however it's expected that those without a ticket will have the option of tuning in at home to a live stream of the event.

The concert, which is a fundraiser for St Peter and Paul's Church, will feature the gifted Ballycumber vocalist performing from 8pm.
