Saturday 6th February 2016 at 5.45pm – The Curious Ear: Ballroom Belles

Brian Gallagher’s mother, Mona, loves dancing.

Her heydey was during The Emergency. It was a time of clothes rationing and when a man could complain if you refused a dance. When the most important dance of the evening was the last one.

Then, there’s the great music.

Mona tells her stories with her friends Peggy and Bernie.
