Verdi 53 took to the streets on Thursday, 15th December to raise money for the Loreto Union charity fund.

We stood outside Marks and Spencers on Grafton Street from 6 until 8, and in that time raised over €1000. Afterwards we took over the snug in The Chatham Brasserie, where the management looked after us royally. We even ventured out at one stage to give an impromptu performance for the other diners!

Many thanks to the Loreto Union for inviting us to sing, to Sr. Marion our wonderful accompanist, and to our team of collectors. All agreed it was a great night.
