Thurles Tenor Michael Molumby To Release First CD

I believe it was Winston Churchill who once said “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”.

Thurles Tenor Michael Molumby

This Christmas will be a change for most of us on previous years. Many more of us will be worse off financially and some will face the new year without any sight of secure future prospects, mainly brought about by the greed of others.
Being “less than,”and being poor, despite our reported progress in matters of education, carries a stigma. Modern capitalism has thought us to equate decency only with wealth and therefore indecency with poverty.

Those whose jobs allow, will continue their inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than they need or indeed deserve, in respect of material wealth. Most of us will plan Christmas around ourselves and close friends. A few of us, on the other hand, will be thankful for all the gifts we have, while trying to share what we can, of those gifts, with others. One such member of this few, sharing his gift for the benefit of others this Christmas, is local singer/tenor Michael Molumby.

Regarded as one of the finest Irish tenors in County Tipperary, building contractor Michael Molumby releases his first well overdue CD this coming week, Friday November 6th in the Premier Hall Thurles at 8:00pm, on the stage of a theatre he has graced so professionally and on so many occasion down through the years.

Michael Molumby’s tenor voice has enthralled huge audiences now for over three decades, through his performances with Thurles Care Group, Thurles Cathedral Choir, Clonmel and Kilkenny Musical Societies, John Player Tops and our own Thurles Musical Society.

Married to Maria, with two sons Declan and Diarmuid and daughter-in-law Jennifer, this new CD, entitled “Circling The Square”, has been an all family effort and its finality Michael admits took longer than expected. Here we bring you just a random taste of Michael’s wonderful voice, singing the all time favourite ‘Moon River’.

The title of this CD “Circling the Square” is taken from a book ‘Troubled Thoughts, Majestic Dreams’ by Thurles author Denis O’Driscoll, Mill Road, Thurles.
