Your Creative Passion + Other Skill Sets = Business Opportunity

  • Summary

  • Andrew Conroy is mostly known for being the drummer of the well-known Laois band, The Jury, a band going on for almost 30 years now. He started out as the Dep drummer in 2015 and is now their full-time drummer. Playing some of the top venues in the county, The Jury always brings the energy and the banter.
