Melodies of Hope Mayo concert for Hospice
A gift for those who have given most to us is to care for them on their final journey. Many families choose to avail of the services of Mayo Roscommon Hospice who provide exceptional care and comfort to families who accompany their loved ones on that sacred path.
The experience of their love and care has motivated a group of young talented and creative performers to come together to give a little love back to the Hospice and to pass a torch of gratitude that will also benefit others.
The Augustinian Abbey, also known as The Friary, in Ballyhaunis is the venue for a concert named Melodies of Hope, led by Aisling Lyons King and Cathy Lyons with a group of their very talented friends on Friday, October 25, at 8 p.m.
Aisling and Cathy are established professional wedding performers, as well as gigging at other events in the Mayo/Galway region for many years. Both sisters work as music teachers and have delighted thousands online with their perfect pitch, melodic harmonies and creative musicianship for well over a decade.
They will be accompanied onstage by members from the band Hot Logic, namely Tom Murray and Barry Murray, who have a lively combination of music and vocal skills and perform on the music circuit around the country but particularly in west Mayo and Galway City with Cathy and Aisling.
The audience will be treated to an abundance of musical riches from well known artists and bands such as Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Cranberries, Aretha Franklin,The Carpenters and many more.
They will also be joined by talented performers from central Mayo in Adam Lyons, Ellie-Mai McGuinn, Clodagh Mellett, Jasmine Kenny, Amy Cunningham, Grace de Lacy and Grace Tuohy.
Their unique blend of solo and choral chanson will have an immediate impact on the lucky audience. It is expected that there will be a few unexpected guests to add to the colour and flavour of the live show.
Melodies of Hope is a free admission concert and there will be a donation bucket for Mayo Roscommon Hospice as well as an online donation facility where all proceeds will go to the Mayo Roscommon Hospice.
