Variety concert takes place to raise funds for Tipperary boy undergoing treatment

The Duhill Chancers presented a Variety Concert in St Paul’s Community Hall, Clogheen, Tipperary on Thursday June 5.

The fundraising event was in aid of four year old Archie English from Clogheen, who is son of Mark and Rosie English and brother of Casey. He is currently undergoing treatment for Lymphoblastic Leukaemia after being diagnosed with the illness in April.

This was a spectacular night with a very large number of performers showcasing their amazing talents for all. This event was greatly supported by an audience who showed up in droves and also by generous donations from people who were unable to attend but still wanted to show their support for Archie.

Archie’s grandfather, James English was a member of the cast and performed his own song and provided musical accompaniment for other performers. There was an emotional end to the night as Mark and Rosie came on stage.

Mark spoke about Archie’s strength and courage throughout the last few weeks and thanked everyone for their support.
