The 80’s Lipsync fundraiser, which took place in McHugh's venue before Christmas in aid of the Drogheda Women's and Children's Refuge, was a huge success and this week the organiser of the event, Brian Howard Andrews aka Tina Turner, presented a cheque for a whopping €11,500 to the life changing local charity.

The team of performers filled the Mc Hugh Barrel venue for a second year running to support the Drogheda Women's and Children's Refuge and with the generosity of a sell-out audience and the amazing support of countless local businesses, managed to far surpass their target.

Brian and some of the crew pictured visited the team in the Drogheda Women's and Children's Refuge to present the proceeds and Brian wants to thank all the performers involved for their hard work and dedication to bring this show to life for another year. 

Brian said: “following the death of Tina Turner, my husband Declan and I decided to create the lipsync show and host it in a venue in the heart of Drogheda and, with the help of local businesses, coming together to make a change for a local charity.
