Eurovision winners to play charity fundraiser in Kildare

Eurovision Song Contest winners Charlie McGettigan and Paul Harrington, best known for their 1994 winning entry Rock ’n’ Roll Kids, will take to the stage at The Hamlet Court Hotel for a special one-night-only charity performance on Saturday, March 28 2026.

This highly anticipated concert marks the duo’s first ever appearance in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare and promises to be a memorable evening of music and storytelling. Charlie and Paul are generously donating their time and talent in support of a very worthy cause.

The event is a fundraiser for DCU’s Tanzania Pre-Primary Education Project, with all proceeds going towards Síofra Bennett’s upcoming trip to Tanzania in July, where she will work directly with pre-primary school children, supporting early childhood education initiatives. The night will also feature special guest performers, adding to what promises to be a truly special occasion.

The show begins at 8.00pm sharp, with doors opening at 7.15pm. Attendees are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime. There is ample free parking available at the venue.
