This Saturday evening May 23rd at 6pm, for the first time ever, Clare FM and its sister station Tipp FM will bring a unique event to listeners and followers across both Counties and further afield, by organising and hosting a virtual concert across all their media platforms. The event simply titled “Thank You” is a tribute and a thank you to all essential workers throughout the Counties and beyond for their huge contribution throughout the Covid 19 crisis.
The concert will be broadcast on air by both stations, with the public also having the opportunity to see the artists performing on the stations Facebook pages, on twitter and on their websites. Over ten well known Irish artists will be taking part, the line-up includes, Gavin James, Brian Kennedy, Phil Coulter, Luka Bloom, Mike Hanrahan, Darren Holden, Don Mescall, Maura O’Connell, Tommy Fleming, Joanie Madden and Don Stiffe.
Commenting on this unique event, the Stations General Manager, Susan Murphy said “We wanted to do something to acknowledge the amazing work being carried out right now by all our essential workers. Like a lot of ideas, this started out as a small kernel and then grew. When producer Padraic Flaherty began to contact the performers, the response was over-whelming and we want to thank them all sincerely for giving so freely of their time. We hope it will lift peoples spirits and raise a smile and believe it is a phenomenal line up of talent which covers all musical tastes”
