There’s an important charity fundraising event happening in Dublin next weekend. It’s in aid of Brainwave, the Irish Epilepsy Association and it’s called the Horse Show Hustle, which, funny enough, has pretty much nothing to do with horses.
Continuing on the tradition of a ball after the Dublin Horse Show (where tickets were €150), this year Brainwave are keeping the title but bringing the fundraiser ticket price to a recession friendly €30 and holding it in Krystle, who have donated the venue for the evening. It’s not an event for the horsey set - in fact Brainwave think it’s just a great night out with some good music.
On the line-up is David Kitt (with a five piece band), The Chapters, History of Harry and Colour in Countries (formerly All Star Charge), recent headliners at the Love Music, Hate Racism event.
Today I met Peter Murphy from Brainwave who explains more about the event and how your attendance could help them help people with epilepsy:
I also met Nikki, a volunteer with Brainwave who has also been helped by them:
(She’s the one who told me that people had asked if it was to do with epileptic horses, hence the title)
There’s also a fantastic raffle with great prizes, including a package of 5 weekend breaks in top quality hotels, a five night Shannon Cruise for four people on a 6-berth cruiser, two All-Ireland Semi Final tickets and more.
Tickets are available on tickets.ie and you can find out more on the Brainwave website.
WOWSER I’d go just for that raffle! 5 weekend breaks sounds very appealing…
