Irish music stars lined up for local school fundraiser

A plethora of Irish country and music stars are lined up for a major fundraising concert for a local school.

The concert in the Tullamore Court Hotel on Monday, March 2, at 8pm is in aid of an all-weather play area at Boher school, Ballycumber.

Tickets are €30 each and are on sale in Gussies, Boher school, Tullamore Court Hotel, and online

An all weather play area is badly needed in the school grounds and will provide a clean, safe place to play and exercise for all pupils in the school.

Boher NS said it estimated that the project will cost in the region of €100,000.

"This campaign is truly a community effort. Raising such a large amount of funds is a significant challenge, but we remain optimistic and are committed to running a series of enjoyable and creative fundraisers between now and next summer," the school said.

Included in the concert line up are Michael English, Brendan Shine, Gerry Guthrie, Louise Morrissey, Dave Lawlor, Simon Casey, and The Conquerors.

Doors open 7pm. Concert starts at 8 pm sharp. Over 16s event.
