Spout cancer fight total reaches �35,500

Brush Shiels is making a return guest appearance back in The Spout on 3 December when Jimmy Aspell and friends will be presenting a cheque to the Irish Cancer Society, writes Brian Byrne.

He'll be part of a great line-up of musicians on the night, which will include Tony Kirwan, Kevin Barnes, Colm Cahill, Gonz Houlihan, Pud Barrett and, of course, Jimmy himself.

It will be an early-starting event, playing off at 7pm.

The cheque being presented will bring to a grand total of �35,500 which has been collected by the Spout-based efforts in aid of the ICS since 2011.

There will also be a presentation of certificates of appreciation to those who took part in the head shaves as part of the fundraisers.
