Free to view Fundraising Concert in aid of the Irish Community Air Ambulance Service
March 3, 2022
Michael Herlihy from Siopa Ceoil an Daingean, Dingle is organising a Free to view Fundraising Concert in aid of the Irish Community Air Ambulance Service.
Michael was airlifted from Dingle GAA field to University Hospital Limerick in July of 2021 after experiencing severe chest pains.
Michael has been hosting live traditional music concerts in his shop for years attracting tourists from all over the world. His nephew Paddy O’Neill (past Principal of our school) is part of the Limerick-based trad band The Fadas who came up with the idea for the fundraising event. The band is made up of Timmy McKenna, Noreen Nash, Ita O Donnell, Nives Carroll, Fr Danny Devitt, Maria Hughes and Paddy O Neill.
They will be joined by well-known Irish fiddle player Máire Breathnach, singer Laurence Courtney, Niamh Varian Barry, Peter Staunton and Michael Herihy himself who will play the button accordion. There will also be two Irish dancers, Órlaith and Caoimhe O’Neill performing.
