Cancer support charity, Recovery Haven Kerry, will join forces with a number of Kerry musicians and singers for a gala summer concert at Tralee’s Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Sunday, June 19.

After two years of restrictions and missing out on in-person fundraising events, the charity is thrilled to announce details of their much-anticipated concert, which sees some of Kerry’s finest performers gather for a fantastic night of music and song.

MC’d by Timmy Moynihan, the concert will feature performances by well known Dingle man Thomas O’Callaghan and his band from Clare, renowned Killarney singer-songwriter Mary Culloty O’Sullivan, as well as Davey Buckley, Maedhbh Hanafin, Roel Villones, Aoife O’Donoghue and members of Causeway Comhaltas.

The event marks a welcome return to live music and song and is one of several fundraising events planned by the cancer support charity in 2022.

“It’s been so long since we have been able to get together for a fundraising event of this scale, and we are thrilled to have so many performers join us for what promises to be a fantastic night of entertainment,” said Recovery Haven Kerry marketing officer, Marisa Reidy.

“We are so grateful to all these renowned performers who are giving their time to help raise funds for Recovery Haven and are so excited to see people back enjoying a live music event in the beautiful setting of Ballyroe Heights Hotel.”

Tickets for the concert are priced at €20 and are currently on sale from Recovery Haven, Ballyroe Heights Hotel and through Eventbrite (plus booking fee) via www.eventbrite.ie/e/recovery-haven-gala-summer-concert-tickets-338968783757.
