The recent Summer Gig in aid of Co Cork based charity Edith Wilkins Street
Children Foundation India (EWSCFI) starring Declan Sinnott, Vickie Keating
and Fiona Kennedy and Band in Crane Lane Theatre was a huge hit.
At the time of writing almost €2,000 was raised at the event and a great
night was had by the large audience, several of whom took home lovely spot
prizes. Thanks were expressed by Edith and chairperson Leo McMahon to all
the performers for their generosity, the organisers Nuala, Caitriona, Deirdre,
Christine and Wendy; fellow fund raisers, supporters of the gig and Crane
Lane Theatre.
