The Kilkenny section of ‘The Big Busk’,a nationwide Today FM fundraiser to help Focus Ireland tackle homelessness through the powerful medium of music, art and performance took place, simultaneously, in Mac Donagh Junction Shopping Centre and Market Cross Shopping Centre on Friday 12th April.
A wide variety of excellent performers from the South East ensured the Kilkenny event, coordinated by Jessica Murphy was a popular success.
At the conclusion of the day’s activities a tired but buoyant Jessica thanked both shopping centres and her Focus Ireland colleagues for their contributions.
Praising the generosity of the people of Kilkenny she had particular words of commendation for “the socially aware students from Kilkenny College for their enthusiastic involvement.”
There was also praise for the drumming troupe from SOS Kilkenny who entertained with well known musical numbers at Market Cross.
The Kilkenny Observer was on hand to record the event at both centres
