Latest Single

Co. Wicklow based folk band ‘Avoca’ officially launched their latest CD single on Thursday June 16th in Rathnew’s historic Tinakilly House Hotel. Composed by frontman Sean Olohan “Saving Lives” is a charity release in aid of the RNLI and to celebrate their 150 year presence in Wicklow Town.
The RNLI has 43 lifeboat stations throughout the island of Ireland and last year rescued more than 8,000 people, an average of 22 people per day. Volunteer crew members readily exchange leisure, comfort and sleep for cold, wet and fatigue. Their lifesaving work is essential, often difficult and sometimes dangerous.
