Mogeely Vintage Club will host their 12th Annual Vintage Festival on Sunday the 17nd July. To date the club has raised over €160,000 for charities including ACT, Marymount Hospice, CASA, Midleton Community Hospital, Irish Wheelchair Association, Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. Due to the difficulties in raising funds being experienced by all charities and organisations in the current economic climate Mogeely Vintage Club has decided this year to donate proceeds from the event to three charities, Midleton Community Hospital, Enable Ireland Cork and the Irish Kidney Association.

Community Radio Youghal held there 2nd Annual Country Music awards on Monday 15th November last in the Walter Raleigh Hotel in Youghal. There was a fantastic crowd on the night with people traveling from all over to see there favourite stars of Country Music on stage. The Award winners were kept a closely guarded secret, with only the organisers and the acts themselves privileged to the information. The rest of us had to wait till the night to see who would win what award.
Proceedings got underway with new up and coming singer John McNicholl who started the night off. John’s band was to accompany all the winners on the night and a fantastic job they did too. They stayed on stage throughout the evening backing all the different winners. Each winner had a chance to sing three songs and this kept the whole night moving along with little time between acts. Tommy Collins of Community Radio Youghal was MC on the night and he kept things moving along at a nice professional pace. Various radio presenters and members of CRY were on hand to present the awards to the winners.
