This is just a bit of an advance notice that a charity get together is being planned for the late Joe Kerins.

The details are fairly tentative at present, but I can confirm that the event will take place at the Irish World Heritage Centre, 10 Queens Road, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, on Saturday February 16th, 2008. There will be a singaround/music session in the afternoon, with a ceilidh and song spots in the evening. There will also be a £10-00 admission charge, and the price will include an evening meal/buffet.

All proceeds will be donated to The British Heart Foundation. As the Heritage Centre are very kindly waiving the hire fee, we should be able to raise a tidy sum.

I'll be posting more information nearer the date. In the meantime, Joe was a marvellous bloke and a bloody good friend to me and an awful lot of other people. And he was a magnificent singer. This is an ideal opportunity to celebrate the man, to raise some money for a good cause and to have a reet good do, as they say in Manchester.

If you can get to it, you'll be more than welcome.
