AFTER last year’s ‘runaway’ success, Bon Jovee are set to play another big concert in the Brandon Hotel Conference Centre for two great causes in February.
Last February’s gig saw thousands raised for Cliona’s Foundation, the Chemotherapy Unit at UHK and Kerry Hospice, with hundreds supporting the event.
This time it’s Comfort For Chemo Kerry and ‘Action For Amber’ — a charity to help a three year old girl from Cromane who was diagnosed with Metastatic Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare and aggressive form of cancer — that will benefit when the local Bon Jovi tribute act take the stage on Saturday, February 15.

On the night they will be joined by the Kingdom Dancers, Tralee singer/songwriter Seamus Harty, while Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan will provide some 80s music before Bon Jovee take the stage.
Afterwards, Botty will take the party into the early hours with more great 80s hits. There will be spot prizes and auctions throughout and MC for the night will be Radio Kerry’s Elaine Kinsella.
Tickets at €20, they’re selling fast. You can get them at Paco in Tralee, Horan’s Health Stores in Tralee and would make a great Christmas present. To find out more about Action For Amber, click here. For more information on Comfort For Chemo Kerry click here.
