At 7.30 pm on the 10th April the doors of the Welcome Inn Hotel were opened as the good citizens of Mayo, and the many friends of the choir, streamed in for the annual Spring concert of Mayo Male Voice Choir. There was a great sense of satisfaction derived by the choir members from the knowledge that the many, many hours of practice and preparation were not to be in vain, that an intelligent and discerning audience (naturally!) were happy to attend and appreciate the fruits of that hard work. By the time the show began it was standing room only in the Fáilte Suite.
