Daniel O Donnell, Nathan Carter and a host of other country stars are to come together to help the victims of the Donegal flood disaster.
Letterkenny businesswoman Deirdre Grant came up with the plan having watched hundreds of people affected by the torrential rain.
A few phonecalls later and a major concert ‘Flood Aid For Inishowen’ was born.
Superstar Daniel will be joined on stage by Declan Nearney, Johnny Brady, Dominic and Barry Kirwan, and Nathan Carter with the Conquerers.
The event, which takes place next Sunday at the Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny, hopes to raise funds for all those displaced by the floods.
The concert will be hosted by TV3 personality Noel Cunningham and he will be assisted Phil Mack from the Keep it Country Music Channel.
Deirdre Grant said the response from everyone has been remarkable.
“The torrential rain of last week and the floods that followed has had a devastating effect on the lives of many people on the Inishowen peninsula with many displaced from their homes, businesses and livelihood.
“A few phone calls and the true spirit of country music was revealed as a line up of stars emerged.”
The doors will open at 1.30pm at the Aura Centre in Letterkenny on Sunday, September 3rd.
Deirdre added “The organisers have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the many people who have contacted them offering help, and wish to thank those who have offered their services free of charge and all who are taking part next Sunday at such short notice.”
Tickets go on Sale on Monday through local outlets and at the Aura Centre. Tickets purchased at these local outlets will cost €30.
Tickets will also be available through Ticketmaster website midweek and will be subject to an added service charge.
All proceeds, after costs, going to the Red Cross. All artists have offered their services free of charge.
