Country music singer Mike Denver will perform at a dance in aid of the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust at the Clayton Hotel, Ballybrit on Thursday August 20. Tickets for the event cost €15 and are available at the door or by telephoning (086 ) 8359169.
His career has gone from strength to strength having recently completed a 34 date concert tour with special guests Roly Daniels and Ray Lynam. He recorded a duet with the legendary George Jones in Nashville last year. Mike has released seven albums and two DVDs.
The Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust supports patients and families coping with this cancer of the blood cells as well as research into the condition. The organisation is raising funds for a new purpose built facility close to University Hospital Galway. (It already owns two apartments close to the hospital which are used by patients receiving chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation and their families. )
“The new facility will accommodate up to 10 families as requirement for transplantation increases with the development of new technologies,” explains a spokesperson. “The Trust has been successful because of the dedication of its staff and trustees and because of the tremendous financial support given by Irish people since the early 1980s.
“With this in mind Mike Denver and his band have taken time out from their very busy diary to perform what promises to be a very enjoyable evening of dancing at the Clayton Hotel.”
