It’s Friday night, the weekend’s here and the party’s about to begin.Time for dancing, drinking and the search for true love. The club’s getting hot but out in the cold the Bouncers are ready for anything.Meet Ralph, Judd, Les and Lucky Eric as they relive a night in a Dublin disco in the 80s in an outrageous celebration of the nightclub scene.It’s a screamingly funny ride through one of those nights as all the gang are out on the town – the boys, the girls, the cheesy DJ, the fish and chip van and the taxi home.All under the watchful eyes of the Bouncers…

PHIL COULTER UPDATE
A Message from Ashbourne Lions Club:
Following recent Government guidelines and in consultation with The Pillo Hotel and Phil Coulter, it is with great regret that we have to announce the postponement of the upcoming Clann Ceoil Charity concert.
We understand that you have been looking forward to what would have been an amazing night. Similarly our charity partners and beneficiaries are equally disappointed.
However, we must follow Government guidelines and keep the safety of all our patrons, supporters and volunteers to the fore.
We remain in contact with Phil Coulter to identify the earliest possible date to hold the concert and we will share the date as soon as it is confirmed.
As a group we are so disappointed and would like to thank each and every one of you for your incredible patience and support thus far.
For now, we would like to wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a Healthy and Peaceful New Year.
