Fine achievement

And to help Michael celebrate his fine achievement his band will be joined by players drawn from across Ireland and abroad to form a massed brass band of, appropriately enough, 50 performers.

"We are delighted to celebrate this fine achievement by means of a musical evening which is sure to raise more than a few hairs an the back of your neck," promised band President John Mernin, when he spoke to 4BR.
