Nathan Carter, one of Ireland's leading country music performers, will take to the stage at The Arches in Mallow, Co. Cork, on October 25, 2024, for a major fundraising concert benefiting the Irish Kidney Association (IKA), Breakthrough Cancer Research, and The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (ASI).
Known for his captivating stage presence and hit songs like "Wagon Wheel" and "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya," Nathan has garnered a loyal fanbase and is celebrated for his ability to blend traditional Irish music with contemporary country sounds. His performances are a vibrant celebration of Irish culture and music, making this concert a must-see event.
Fifteen years ago, Catherine Daly from North Cork and her family's life changed dramatically when her father, Martin Kiely, encountered a life-threatening health crisis. After requiring urgent dialysis treatment, he received compassionate care from Dr. Liam Plant in Cork for over a decade. Just six years ago, he was granted a second chance at life through a lifesaving kidney transplant, a gift from the family of an organ donor. The Kiely family, like many, has also endured the loss of a loved one to cancer.
Catherine, along with other North Cork locals Ollie Kiely, Dawn Moore, and Jen McCarthy, are organising the fundraising concert in aid of three charities who have provided vital support for their families and the wider North Cork community impacted by these kidney, cancer and Alzheimer diseases.
