ANTICIPATION is already building for what should be a fantastic night of entertainment in the Brandon Hotel this Saturday night at 8pm.

Lip Sync For Sudan will see 10 acts made up of staff from the Bon Secours in Tralee take to the stage performing songs as Michael Jackson, Jedward, Sia and more.

It’s all part of their efforts to fundraise for a group of over 30 volunteers from the hospital including  doctors, nurses, technicians, physios , radiographers and administrative staff  who are travelling to Ezeidab and Al Damer in Northern Sudan to bring their skills, vital medical equipment and supplies to people of this region.

Each act, which has been rehearsing diligently for the past few weeks, will perform in front of a judging panel comprising of; Michael Healy-Rae, Elma Walsh from the Donal Walsh foundation and former Kerry star Liam Hassett.

There will be two winning acts on the night, both the judge’s choice and the audience choice, followed by a disco afterwards, spot prizes, and much more all in the name of a good cause.

Tickets cost €10 and can be bought from Bon Secours Hospital Tralee reception or restaurant or by calling Joe Diggins on 089 4155778.

While in Sudan, the group of six doctors including two Cardiologists and an Orthopaedic surgeon will hold clinics and perform procedures for people who do not have access to/ could never afford them, their administrative staff will pay a visit to the local schools, and equip  them with the basic equipment needed to help ensure they sustain standards of basic education long after hospital staff return home to Ireland.
