The Clontuskert Charity Concert Committee Fundraising Concert

The Clontuskert Charity Concert Committee hosted a successful fundraising concert titled “A Winter’s Evening Concert of Music and Song” at the Kiltormer GAA Complex before Christmas.

This packed-out event held on the 1st of December was made possible with the support of Kiltormer GAA Complex and its Committee. Colm Croffy, the MC for the evening, welcomed the talented artists to the stage. Pre-concert entertainment by Iain Lynch and the Frank Downey traditional group set the tone for the night. The Conquerors, the house band, performed their own set and generously backed other artists.

The stellar lineup included Marc Roberts, P.J. Murrihy, Colin Kenny, Mick Mulhern, Emma Donohue, Katie Costello, Ciara McKeigue, and the Tully Brothers Traditional Group. Each performance was met with enthusiastic applause, and the atmosphere was electric. John Finnerty captured memorable moments with his photography, preserving the joyous spirit of the concert.

Santa Claus made a special appearance, adding a magical touch. Surprises throughout the night kept the audience engaged. After the concert, attendees enjoyed tea and refreshments, bringing the evening to a pleasant close.
Proceeds of €3,635 will be divided between the East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support Centre in Ballinasloe and St. Therese’s Children’s Ward at Portiuncula Hospital.

Plans are underway for the next “Winter’s Evening Concert of Music and Song,” scheduled for Sunday, 30th November 2025.

“All our Committee thank all who gave of their time, gave us spot prizes and who turned up, and we look forward to another successful event and hope to see everyone there,” stated Katie Costelloe, Chair.
