Proceeds will go towards the new musical by Roy Arbuckle ‘The Fountain’ which will be going into production in 2015... and, to add some colour to the evening, there will be a competition for Best Jumper, Worst Jumper, Silliest Jumper, Best Christmas Jumper - so wear your jumper.

Internationally acclaimed Singer songwriter Roy Arbuckle launches his latest offering ‘Shouda Wore Me Jumper’ an EP of original songs.

The title track is a laugh out loud look at all those times when you were under-dressed and the voice of your mother echoed through the years ‘Ye shouda wore yer jumper!’

Meanwhile, ‘Dead Man’s Raybans’ came out of a visit to the St Vincent DePaul Store in Greystones, Co Wicklow, and is a continual chuckle with a great singalong chorus, while, ‘Tullyally Takeaway’ is a country song like all the other great country songs except it’s based here.

And then there is ‘Oldsmobile’ which was written 30 years ago was resurrected last year for Roy’s sellout Playhouse show ‘Now And Then’. It is about a fondly remembered muscle car, and carries a ‘Parental Guidance’ warning (bad language).

Rounding the EP off is ‘Canadian Girls,’ which is another ‘Now And Then’ song.
