On Friday August 5th Dripsey valley was filled with the magical voices of the High Hopes choir. This was the result of Griffins of Dripsey entering a competition on Today FM to win a BBQ for their staff with Hellmanns and Off the Charts. When the team at Griffins saw this, they decided to try to win and donate the BBQ to the wonderful Penny Dinners and High Hopes choir as a small thank you to all the volunteers and the team that do magical work in Cork by producing quality free meals everyday for so many people. Fergal D’Arcy and Today FM brought the ‘Off the Charts’ show to Griffins of Dripsey and, with Hellmanns, put on a beautiful BBQ for Cork Penny Dinners and the High Hopes choir, and what an afternoon it was, great laughs, emotional stories, heart warming singing and music followed with such exciting news for High Hopes choir as, after the show, High Hopes choir heard that they will be travelling to Dublin to record an album with Aslan in the next few weeks. Christy Dignam is a true friend and fan of the High Hope Choir. Fergal and Ed fell in love with Griffin’s hot lips and of course Granny Griffins scones, tasting them live on air they too agreed that they are the best scone in Ireland. Margaret Griffin thanked all involved for creating such a joyful afternoon for Cork Penny Dinners.
