Mayo concert raises funds for Private Billy Kedian Air-Ambulance Base

The ‘Bring Billy Home’ concert in aid of the Private Billy Kedian Air-Ambulance Base in Ballyhaunis was a great success. 

Headlined by renowned musician Gerry Carney, the event attracted a large and enthusiastic audience while raising significant funds for the Private Billy Kedian Air-Ambulance Base. 

Held in Ballyhaunis, the concert received overwhelming support from the local community and beyond. 

Mr Carney and his band announced plans for an additional ten concerts across the country in the coming months, with dates to be confirmed shortly.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the establishment of the Billy Kedian Air-Ambulance Base, a critical initiative aimed at providing emergency medical assistance and air transport for those in urgent need, in honour of Private Billy Kedian’s legacy.

The Billy Kedian Memorial Trust extended its deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones affected by the tragic road collision that occurred just a few miles from the concert venue. The Trust and the community are deeply saddened by the incident and are holding those impacted in their thoughts during this difficult time.

The success of the ‘Bring Billy Home’ concert underscores the generosity of the Ballyhaunis community and the enduring memory of Private Billy Kedian. The funds raised will help establish life-saving services for those in need and serve as a lasting tribute to Billy’s commitment and service.
