Caritas love to sing in fundraising, supporting local charities and also performing at concerts, festivals.
They have been broadcast on BBC radio by John Anderson (on Sing Out), recorded by Stephen Hamill, performed recently for Fermanagh Trust in several venues, performed at religious services, and collaborated in concerts of carols and organ music with Desmond Hunter (organist).
