It is that time of the year again where the evenings are beginning to draw in and all things ghoulish decide to come out and play.
Must be one thing on my mind and one thing only….(no not that thing, the other thing!)…Halloween! As most of you who have attended previous Finbar Hoban Presents Halloween fancy dress parties we dont take this lightly. This is a very important night of the year for Finbar Hoban Presents, not just about the Trick R Treats but most importantly the live original bands. Of course we all like to dress up and have fun and try to win that 500 euro prize but lets just put this aside for a moment and take a closer look at our live acts who will be performing on the night at the Garbo’s venue in Castlebar Co Mayo on October 25th 2014.
