Star-studded line-up to help raise funds for Alzheimer Society of Ireland

A star-studded line-up is to take to the stage next month to help raise funds for the  Donegal branch of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland.

The Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny is the venue for an evening of dance with Evelyn Gallagher and friends on Saturday, June 4.

Organisers hope the impressive line-up of singers and musicians should guarantee a packed house.

The gala line-up includes Hugh McLean, the Envoys Showband, Malcolm Fisher, Amy Meehan, Anne Biddie, Hilary Anne Heatherington, Eddie Gallagher, and the Country Kickers Line Dancers.

Compere for the show will be Tommy Rosney, and the backing band will feature an array of local musical talent including Percy Robinson, John McHugh, Damien Duffy and Gary Porter.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is a national non-profit organisation that provides dementia-specific services and supports while advocating for the rights and needs of all those living with the condition.

“The Donegal branch is hoping to make this a night to remember for those who cannot remember,” said Letterkenny-based performer, Evelyn Gallagher, who is to the forefront in helping to organise the dance.

Doors open on the night at 8pm and dancing will be from 9pm to midnight.

Tickets, costing €10, are available at the Clanree Hotel reception desk (074-9124369) or patrons can pay at the door.
