The town center of Drogheda was packed with the massive crowds who came out to watch the evenings entertainment and see Santa switch on the Drogheda Town Christmas lights display.
Multiple local groups took to the stage and entertained the huge crowds on West Street. Then came Santa who literally “lit up” the Town, followed by the Lourdes Brass Band, who rocked the audience with a feast of festive music.
Many Thanks to the event organizers - The “Love Drogheda” team who put on a brilliant display showcasing Drogheda at her best.
The Lourdes Brass Band extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Mr Paul Dunphy and to the Navan Silver Band.
Paul had been a life long Member, Musical Director and Supporter of the Navan Silver Band.
Over the years Paul had become a great friend of the Lourdes Brass Band and indeed deputized as our Conductor on many an occasion.
His love of music and willingness to pass his wealth of musical knowledge on to the next generations will be his legacy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Navan Silver Band.

Thank you to the People of Drogheda who came out on mass to support the Drogheda St. Patrick’s Day parade.
The Lourdes Brass Band, Drogheda had a great time entertaining the crowds and enjoying the community spirit while celebrating our National Day. With both our Senior and Junior Bands leading the way through the town with their lilting music getting the crowds swinging, it was a day to remember.
We would like to thank the Parade organisers and indeed the Drogheda Community for granting us the opportunity to share our music.
Well done DROGHEDA.
Serving the community since 1959.

St Patrick's Day will be the debut performance of our newest recruits and the final time that some of our students take part in the Parade in our school of music as they will be graduating on to our Lourdes Youth Band.
To celebrate they wish to invite all our friends, family and band members etc. to join them for a refreshing warm cuppa in our Band room after they perform in the Parade.
The Lourdes Brass band are as proud as punch of our percussion player Ms Kayleigh Branigan taking the big step, this Saturday and tying the knot with her long term Beau Mr. Emmet O’Reilly.

All our members and friends at the Lourdes Brass Band wish both of you every happiness.
