Jimmy Buckley and his band are playing a fundraising dance in the Clayton Hotel, Galway, on Friday 17 April.

The event is in memory of Helen Hughes-Gilmore from Dunmore and the proceeds from the show are in support of Home Share Galway, a partnership between the Brothers of Charity (Galway) and Ability West.

Helen, who died a year ago at the age of 55, was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her kindness and compassion touched many hearts and her outreach to the community was truly special. She loved country music and Jimmy Buckley was among her favourites.

When her husband Eddie and some friends decided to host a night in her memory and in support of good causes, they made contact with Jimmy and all is now in place for this special dance in Galway.

Popular Galway impressionist Shane Cunningham will also do a spot on the show. Tickets cost €20. Call 087-9241062 or the hotel on 091-721900 for more details.
