To mark the anniversary of the passing of the great Mary McPartlan we have recorded a special tribute to Mary. Mary was a great patron of both the Testostertones and the NUIG Alumni Ensemble, with singers from these groups appearing on her 'Petticoat Loose' album from 2008. 

Harmonised by Ryan McCarty, this is a piece that Mary sung acappella on a video. With permission from Mick Ruane (videographer) we set about harmonsing and singing along with Mary and creating a virtual choir project.

Coordinated by Peter Mannion, this is our tribute to the late Mary McPartlan who is deeply missed as a staunch patron and defender of the Arts and as a singer and educator.
