SIX of the peninsula's
finest DJs are giving their time free next week to
mix it up for local causes. Jason Young, Justiy,
Kevin McGrath, DJ Pajo, Conor Jay and Matt Navero
will all play the 'Party in the Point' in Foody's
Lodge, Quigley's Point on Thursday, July 23, with
proceeds going to Inishowen Community Radio (ICRfm)
and a play park being built by East Inishowen
Special Needs group. |
The night is being
organised by ICRfm and the station's assistant
manager, Emma McDermott, appealed to their younger
listeners to go along. “While ICRfm has run a number
of successful fundraising concerts in recent years,
we decided we should hold some events that would
appeal to the station’s younger listeners in the
area. To that end we’ve organised the upcoming event
in Foody’s Lodge and also an acoustic night in
McGrory’s, Culdaff, in September," she said.
ICRfm is a not-for-profit organisation and relies on
fundraising to help with running costs, |

training and other station-related activity.
Meanwhile, East Inishowen Special Needs Group
spokesman Sean McCauley, thanked everyone involved
and explained that funds raised on the night would
go towards a play park in Carndonagh for children
with special needs. The Cavanagh Brothers, Kevin and
Colm, are supplying the PA system and also acting as
sound engineers on the night. Tickets are selling
quickly so call ICR on 9329105 for yours. The first
DJ begins at 9pm and people are advised to get there
early. |
