โ˜˜๏ธ One last bit of craic with the lads.

Today, from 5.30pm, Sac n Craic play their final ever gig at The Crown & Thistle. ๐ŸŽถ

๐ŸŽž๏ธ The photos are from St Paddy's weekend back in March at our sister pub The Royal Oak, but the lads also brought the magic to our own St Paddy's celebrations too.

If you've ever enjoyed the songs, the stories and the mighty craic, come down and help give the lads the send off they deserve. ๐Ÿ‘

To the boys, thank you for every tune and every laugh. We wish ye all the very best for whatever comes next. ๐Ÿ€

It's been an honour having you play for us.

We'll miss ye, lads.
