THE ABBEY Inn is hosting a fundraising gig this coming weekend in aid of Tralee’s Ruadhan Hennessy who suffered extensive burns to his legs during a chip pan fire in Canada back in August.

The ‘Rock for Rouie’ concert will take place on Sunday October 4 in the bar from 3pm until late with all proceeds from the event going towards helping Ruadhan cover the high cost of his medical bills (see previous story here).

There will be music and entertainment on the night from a whole host of bands including: Comic Book Heroes, Oracle, Silkcut Blues Band, DJ Garry Fitz, Jimmy G & Johnny Bongos and other guests.

So far, fundraising efforts have managed to raise just over $9,000 of the $12,000 goal with friends and organisers of this latest effort hoping that the gig will go a long way toward reaching this target.

The event will take place in the upstairs in the bar with admission set at €10.
