A Kilkenny celebration of the Starman - Bowie Day at Ryan’s

Returning after an absence of two years, Bowie Day takes place in Ryan’s Bar, Friary Street this Saturday.
Kicking off from 7:30, the fifth edition of this popular local celebration of the Starman features a host of local talent; The Oddities with special guests Sylvia Knox, Jan Murphy, Canice Kenealy and Aoife Meagher, Raindogs, Star Comedy Democrats, Ray O Sullivan and friends, Annabel Tuohy and Gerard James Hough.
This year all proceeds from Bowie Day will go to Care For Carol; a fundraiser for essential medical treatment for Kilkenny woman, Carol Donohue. After a simple procedure went terribly wrong resulting in a cerebrospinal fluid leak, Carol has been left with a life- altering condition, suffering from constant pain and debilitating symptoms which have her bed ridden on a daily basis. Unfortunately the treatment Carol needs is not available to her in Ireland and she has been forced to seek help abroad.
Care For Carol is raising funds to help Carol meet the sizeable costs involved in getting medical treatment abroad. To donate search for Care for Carol on GoFundMe.com
