Gala of Hope Ball – Conrad Hotel, Saturday 3rd November

Right Hook listeners joined myself and the lovely Ingrid at the Gala of Hope Ball in Dublin’s Conrad Hotel on Saturday night. Out of towners stayed overnight courtesy of the good people at the Conrad and probably needed a good breakfast after an event that lasted into the “wee small hours”. The “singing waiters” made their Irish debut and were a huge hit as they had acted as hotel staff until they broke in to song mid-way through dinner. The ball raised almost €100,000 for the Comber Romanian Orphanage Appeal. It is a tradition that Right Hook listeners are invited to the ball.
