Little Blue Heroes Foundation is a not-for-profit charity operated entirely by volunteers (no paid staff) made up of Garda members/staff, retired Garda members and families and friends. It aims to help families in need from local communities in Ireland who have children undergoing long-term medical treatment for serious illness.
Dolans will host a fundraising gig for the charity on Friday February 16.
On the bill is Trouble Pilgrims; The Yardarm Dawgs; Thiz Lizzy; Reverse the Hearse; The Outcast Crew and Parliament Square.
Trouble Pilgrims are ex critically acclaimed Radiators From Space members Pete Holidai, Steve Rapid and John Bonnie along with Tony St. Ledger and Paddy Goodwin playing a high-energy primal, spacey rock set featuring original material and select covers.
The Yardarm Dawgs are legendary local musicians Mike Moriarty & Derek O’ Sullivan Guitars, Mike Quinn, Bass & Liam D’Arcy Drums playing a set that features Creedence Clearwater Revival to The travelling Wilburys and everything in between
Hailing from Ennis, Thiz Lizzy is a highly accomplished Thin Lizzy tribute band with outstanding live performances.
Parliament Square emerges as an exceptional local indie band, and their debut release, “Forest Fire,” was recorded by Owen Lewis, known for his work with renowned acts such as Snow Patrol and REM.
“The name ‘Little Blue Heroes’ came about when we found that the vast amount of the children we support have a strong fascination with police uniform, equipment, vehicles, Garda units, etc.. This has even led some of the children to make a wish to become an Honorary Garda and become part of the Garda family. As heroes to us with the battles they face, these children have become our Little Blue Heroes.”
