All-Star line-up as Grianán Theatre in Letterkenny set host a second Gig for Gaza

A second fundraiser Gig for Gaza is being held in An Grianán Theatre on Wednesday, October 30, at 7:30pm. 

As Israel’s invasion of Gaza continues unabated and the death toll in Gaza continues to rise, local activists in Donegal are holding a fundraising concert featuring many up-and-coming local bands.

The bands playing include Heads of State, Chonk, Adair, Amy Meehan and Boy M5. The event will be opened with an address by veteran Derry human rights activist Eamonn McCann. Visit the An Grianán Theatre website and book your tickets directly here.

The humanitarian crisis which has included the destruction of health and welfare infrastructure and the blocking of humanitarian aid continues unabated. It has been called a genocide and was recently described by the UN High Commission for Human Rights Gaza as “a wasteland of rubble and human remains, where survivors – men and women, children and the elderly – struggle to hold on to life amid deprivation and disease. Israeli bombs have spared no one – not journalists, students, scholars, doctors, nurses, babies, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, civil servants, people seeking food and safety or humanitarian workers, including UN staff. Entire families have been exterminated and generations erased, with millions of lives torn apart.”

The proceeds from the event will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) which has been working in Palestine and with displaced and refugee Palestinians since 1982. The first Gig for Gaza, which was held in March, raised €6,000, a huge thank you to all those who attended, contributed and sponsored the event.
