Haiti Fundraiser 21st Feb

!!!!!conor!!!!!

I couldn't see anything on Limerick City boards about this so I said I'd post it. Very worthwhile cause.

This is on tomorrow, Sunday 21st Feb.


Over five floors of music, food and fun will be hosted by Bentley’s, The Brazen Head and Isaac Taylor’s. All procees will be donated to The Irish Red Cross effort in Haiti.

Local musicians, chefs, entertainers and more will lend their talents to this day long fundraiser event, which kicks off at 3pm. Children are welcome to the specially organised kid’s activities in the afternoon, and of course, the adults will be well catered for until the wee small hours.

Throughout the day there will be a barbecue buffet with specially prepared foods and tempting delicacies and even a pig on a spit! A top floor ‘healing space’ offering relaxing massages, and appearances by local comedians, personalities and maybe even a celeb or two!!

Acting ringmasters for the day will be Jon Kenny~D’Unbelievables, Mike Finn~Playwright and Myles Breen~Actor.

The Board Room

From 3pm , on the top floor of Bentley Barkers, there will be a space dedicated to relaxing in a calm environment with complementary massage therapists on hand to guide you to full relaxation, and even a Sitar player to keep the mood nice and vibey.

When the healing is done and the good vibes have all been dispersed, a troupe of Traditional Irish Musicians will take over the top floor and get a good old session going!

As all this going on there will be plenty going on around the venue, a bouncy castle for the kids, a balloon artist, face painters, stilt walkers and even fire breathers!!

All proceeds from this event will be from donations and will all go to The Irish Red Cross to help with their efforts on the ground in Haiti.
