The Blizzards, Ryan Sheridan and The Riptide Movement to play fundraising gig for mental health charity Aware

Some amazing Irish singers and musicians are joining forces for a very worthy cause this Sunday.

Acts including the Riptide Movement, Ryan Sheridan, The Blizzards and Sack will hit the stage at the Olympia this weekend in aid of mental health charity, Aware.

This is the second ‘A Night for’ concert in aid of Aware, and aims to encourage conversation around mental health, while raising much needed funds for Aware’s nationwide support, education and information services.

Concert organisers Paul Byrne and Eugene Connolly commented: “This is our 5th ‘A Night For’ show and it keeps getting better year on year.

“We always try to span the decades and musical genres with our selection of performers and there’s a great balance between new and older established acts this year.”

Nine more acts added to line-up for Bulmers Forbidden Fruit Festival 2019 

Head of Fundraising and Business Development at Aware, Gerry O’Brien said the organisation is delighted to have the event held again this year, he said: “With one in ten experiencing depression in Ireland, we all know someone who has been impacted - whether directly ourselves, a family member, a friend or a colleague.

“Events like this offer the opportunity to start that conversation, while raising vital funds to ensure that we can continue to deliver our free of charge services nationwide, services that make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Proudly supported by Cadbury, tickets are now on sale for just €28 from www.ticketmaster.ie  and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide .
