“On February 17th, while heading into town from Dalkey, our friend Erin Kenny got off the DART at Tara St. Station and slipped into the path of the departing train. Throughout that night and the following days she fought for her life in intensive care in St. James Hospital. Miraculously she survived though she had numerous internal injuries, broken bones and lost her right leg. With the profits our main aim is to raise enough money to buy Erin a specially adapted car to give her and Lily some independence and help them get back to a normal life.”
That is the description given via the press release as to the why of this charity gig. Close friends of Erin’s, Danny, Mary and Roisin O wanted to put a gig on to raise some money for Erin’s cause. Danny O’Reilly, Mary Black and Roisin O will all be appearing in Whelan’s on May 29th 2013. They will have some special guests joining them and tickets for the show are €25 available from WAVtickets.ie.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday 16th April at 9am. Doors 8pm.
