A Belfast teacher and his family have raised more than £17K for the Northern Ireland Hospice through lockdown music sessions in their shed.
And throughout the garden gigs, Seán Óg Mac Corraidh, a teacher at Bunscoil Phobal Feirste, his dad Seán, mum Fiona and sister Fionnuala have had their beloved aunt Kellie in their thoughts.
Kellie McConville died two years ago at the NI Hospice, and Seán Óg says they have seen first hand the incredible work staff at the hospice do for families.
The live Clann Mhic Corraigh Saturday night gigs from their Andersonstown home were watched by families across the world.
Seán and Seán Óg are both musicians, Seán Óg on the banjo and his dad on guitar - and with a little help from Fiona and Fionnuala, their sessions on Antrim GAA's social page have raised an impressive £17,333 for the NI Hospice.
Speaking to the Irish News, Seán Óg said: "It just feels like giving back. I saw first hand what the hospice does for people. I was really dumbfounded by their kindness and how they treated patients in there.
"People are so kind. Especially the people in West Belfast. Just a big thanks."
NI Hospice director Mary McCall said: "The Northern Ireland Hospice's ability to raise funds has been hugely impacted by this pandemic but Clann Mhic Corraidh stepped forward during this period, and in doing so have made a huge difference for the hospice and I'm sure everyone enjoyed the music."
