A star-studded concert to thank the victims of the Creeslough tragedy that sold out in just 12 hours.
A variety of well known artists including Brian McFadden, Keith Duffy, Brian Kennedy, Mickey Joe Harte and Lisa McHugh will perform at the Together for Creeslough event.
Tickets for the concert at the Aura Leisure Centre, Letterkenny on January 30th went on sale this past Saturday morning.
But demand was so great that they sold out in less than 12 hours.
On Sunday night, Joe Gallagher of Joe Gallagher Entertainment, who are organizing the concert, said: “We knew there was going to be a large demand for tickets after Wednesday’s launch and all four outlets had all their tickets bought by Saturday evening. So, we can confirm at this early stage that ‘Together for Creeslough’ is officially sold out,” reports The Mirror.
At Wednesday’s launch via video link, Brian McFadden, whose father Brendan is originally from Creeslough, said the strength of the Creeslough community is incredible.
“Hopefully, on this night we can celebrate the people of Creeslough and how incredible they really were amongst all of this,” he commented, reports The Mirror.
Ten people were killed in an explosion at the Applegreen gas station in the village on Friday afternoon, October 7th.
Among the many invited to the concert are the families of those who lost their lives, as well as members of the emergency services who fought valiantly to save them.
