STERLING Irish musicians Luka Bloom and John Spillane are to perform at separate concerts to be held at Gael Scoil Chill Dara on 17 May and 6 June respectively.

Proceeds from the concerts will go to the Myers Family Fund, which was set up following the fatal collision near Nurney where two children from the Myers family lost their lives.

“The concerts will be staged in the school and hopefully, if the weather is good, people will be able to experience the pleasant surroundings. John Spillane will be of particular interest, not least because he has released a new album,” said principal Sean De Paor.

The fund was established to provide support for the Myers family from Nurney, following recent tragic events. Niamh and Cian Myers lost their lives in a road accident, which also resulted in their mother Deirdre and brother Eoin receiving serious injuries. Both children were pupils at the school and the fund was set up by a group of parents who also have children studying there.

Declan Rasmussen, chairman of the fund committee, thanked all who have supported the fund so far, explaining that it would provide practical support for the family.

The Myers Family Fund account was opened at the Naas branch of the Bank of Ireland (a/c no 86930742; sort code 90-12-39).

“More events are planned over the coming months and we hope people will give as generously as possible to help the family at this very difficult time,” said Mr Rasmussen, who can be contacted at 087-6900761. Tickets for the concerts cost just n15 each, or n25 for tickets to both events. Both concerts will take place at 8pm.

Meanwhile those interested in taking part in the mini-marathon can contact Rosa Terasa at 086-2930137.
