A sequel, the cheque handover, of the Fermanagh
Shadow Youth Council's hosting of the concert 'Pump it up' in October last
year to raise money for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) took
place in the Lakeland Forum last Thursday night.
The event was attended by over 400 young people
who were treated to a wealth of young Fermanagh talent in the form of
dancers, singers and musicians.
The group wanted to present CRY with the proceeds
from the concert and, also, to celebrate the achievement and relive some of
the atmosphere from the night. It was decided by the entertainment
project group to invite two of the bands back to play at an event and to
present CRY with a cheque for £1,500.
The cheque was presented to David and Paul Martin,
brothers of Richard Martin, the Portora student who died from a cardiac
related illness.
John Lundy, the Northern Ireland representative
for CRY and the McElhill family, whose sons are both represented on the CRY
poster, were also present.
A great night was enjoyed by all who enjoyed the
music from 'Jimmi' and 'The Boners.'
