Dunmore East benefit events planned

Mick Daly, organiser of the annual Guinness International Bluegrass Festival at Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, sends the following news on events planned in aid of the Dunmore East Trawler Tragedy Appeal.

1. The fishermen of Kilkeel in County Down are looking for a local band to volunteer for their benefit evening.

2. A band is needed to support the Clancys in the Woodlands Hotel in Waterford.

Dates to be forwarded as soon as we have them.

Contact Mick by e-mail. Further details will also be posted on the BIB at the earliest possible date. Thanks to Tony Curran for pointing out that the sympathy of the Kilkeel fishing community for Dunmore East is all the stronger because of its own losses in the past.
