About Us

Music for Wexford was established in 1993 by Helen Gaynor and Bernie Lloyd. They organised the first concert series that year. When the doors opened for that first event, Betty O’Brien and Eileen Campbell were there to assist with ticket sales and front of house. Betty and Eileen subsequently became chairperson and treasurer respectively.

In 1998 a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Bernie Lloyd. She was succeeded in 2001/2 by the rector of St. Iberius, the late Rev Norman Ruddock who served until 2003 when he was succeeded by Connie Rochford. Betty O’Brien served as chairperson from 2007 until her passing in 2022. Mary Gallagher joined the team as program manager in 2004.

In honour of our dear friend Betty O’Brien, who sadly passed away in June 2022, Music for Wexford have launched a young musicians bursary scheme, to award a young classical, jazz, Trad, folk and music theatre performer a prize including a concert as part of our Summer Lunchtime Series. More HERE
