Brolly's friends unite for Children in Need event

Irish presenter raises £8k with Coventry concert By Angela Sammon - 24/11/09

It was a case of Brolly and friends to the rescue once again at this fundraising concert in aid of Children in Need at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry last week.

The concert, featuring Irish favourites Foster and Allen, succeeded in raising over £8k and was broadcast live on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.

This year’s Children in Need, which was the 30th anniversary of the event, has so far raised over £20m for disadvantaged children throughout the country.

The Irish duo are currently on a UK tour to promote their new album, “Sing the Million Sellers”.
