An Evening With Billy Roche takes place next Thursday at the Wexford Arts Centre. Billy will be doing a selection of readings and songs as a fundraiser for a forthcoming production of his play Lay Me Down Softly, which he'll direct during the Opera Festival.

Gary Lydon, who stars in the play, will join him on the night to read one of his stories, and Mike Odlum will feature on piano. Expect an airing of a brand new short story called 'The Dog And Bone'.
