LIMERICK band Hermitage Green will share the love on Valentine’s Day as they serenade fans at a special city gig in aid of Mid West Spina Bifida Association.
The popular local boys will perform unplugged at The Orchard Bar on February 14 as well as revealing a little about their music and inspirations in a unique questions and answers session.
Michelle Daly Hayes, development manager at the charity commented, “We at the Mid-West Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association are delighted to have Hermitage Green here to offer this unique fundraiser.”
“The guys have been so helpful and 100 per cent of the ticket price is going to the charity. We are only 40 per cent funded by the HSE so we are hoping this event will help us to carry on providing our vital services for our members,” said Ms Hayes.
Mid-West Spina Bifida work with 106 families with members who have Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus in Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary. The charity has been in existence since 1982 and provides vital services such as physiotherapy, family support and counselling to those with the condition which causes incomplete development of the spinal cord. The effects of the condition vary from profound physical and intellectual disability to milder disabilities.
Tickets for Hermitage Green’s Valentine’s night gig in aid of the charity are €20 and there also will be a fundraising raffle taking place on the night. Call 061-439990 or email info@spinabifida.ie to reserve your tickets.
