A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, performed or volunteered at the Lord Mayor’s Heritage Concert in Cork. We at the Cork Lions Club are deeply grateful for your support in helping to make this event a memorable celebration of our city’s heritage, culture and community spirit.

Highlights included performances by the Barrack Street Band, the Voices of Cork Choir, leading singers Linda Kenny and Art Supple, alongside a rich array of ensembles and soloists — all united in celebrating our shared heritage.
