Sean Cannon of The Dubliners
Sean Cannon of The Dubliners will be making a rare solo appearance at a charity concert in north Birmingham on Thursday the of 8th December.
Lead singer with the “original Irish boy band” for more than 20 years, Sean is flying in from The Dubliners tour of Germany to support a Walsall church in its appeal to raise £22,000 to restore the historic Nicholson & Lord organ at Central Hall Methodist Church.
“We are aiming to have a great night of music ranging from Irish ballads to traditional folk songs, from country and western to pop, plus lots of fun and good craic” say the organisers. “And early December is the perfect time, before all the hustle and bustle of Christmas”
Walsall singing duo, Cherrywood, are also lending their support to the evening “We will be raising money for a good cause and appearing on the same bill as the internationally acclaimed Sean Cannon, so this concert ticks all the right boxes for us” they say. “We are really looking forward to the 8thDecember”
The concert kicks off at 8 pm at the Old Oscott Working Mens Club at 1196 Aldridge Road, Great Barr, Birmingham B44 8PE
(within easy access of junction 7 of the M6)
What is Urban Buddies?
Urban Buddies is a scheme designed to actively engage young people within the activity programmes run by The Boys' Brigade & Girls' Association in Birmingham (BB/GA Birmingham) . It is aimed at children between the ages of 5 & 11 years who, through no fault of their own, are unable to experience their local Boys' Brigade or Girls' Association sessions.
The aim is for these children to have the opportunity to have fun-for fun's sake.
How does Urban Buddies help then?Children who are part of the Urban Buddies Scheme will be safe-ly transported both to & from a BB/GA company which has been specially selected for the needs of both the child & the company. During their stay with us, they will have the support & attention of our dedicated and qualified volunteer staff whenever they need it.
There is also the opportunity for parents to attend with their children & gain their own qualification in Youth Work.
How does my child qualify for the scheme?Urban Buddies is aimed at children from disadvantaged back-grounds who, as mentioned above, cannot make it to their local BB/GA company. If you are unsure as to whether you qualify, please contact us on the details below.
