THERE was some craic last night in the Brandon as almost 800 people packed the conference centre for the Bon Secours Hospital’s ‘Sync It For Sudan’ fundraiser.

Dolly Parton, Rhianna, Jeward, Michael Jackson, Bucks Fizz and more were imitated on the stage to the laughter and cheering of those present.

The 10 acts were made up of staff from the Bon Secours in Tralee as 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.

They put on a great show too with each act well rehearsed thanks to the work of Mary Phillpot who was working with the acts over the past number of weeks.

Having performed it was up to the judging panel comprising of Michael Healy-Rae, Elma Walsh from the Donal Walsh foundation and former Kerry star Liam Hassett to pick a winner.

They chose ‘The Girl Behind The Fringe’ Karen Joy and Aisling O’Dwyer while  the audience picked the UHK ‘Material Girls’ in the public vote.  A disco followed and the contestants could relax after a job well done and thousands raised for a great cause. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have loads more photos later)…
