A little throwback to last month when The Hollyz had the Donkey Beer Garden hopping 🎶

Crowd singing, pints flowing, chairs dancing dangerously close to collapse, just the last Sunday of the month at the Donkey 😅

They’re back again this Sunday at 6PM for our Last Sunday of the Month session, and if last month was anything to go by, you’ll want to get in early.

📍 Find us at The Roaring Donkey, Top of the Hill, Cobh, Co. Cork.
