WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGE HUGS & KISSES (NO TONGUES ;-) TO EVERYONE WHO CAME ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND TO EVERYONE LISTENING AT HOME...WE RAISED OVER €10,000 FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH...A TESTAMENT TO HOW BRILLIANT YE ALL ARE...WELL DONE YOU ARE CLASS!!!!!

Here's an email we got from JOE DUFFY (not the radio dude but Breast Cancer charity man!!!) Although the other Joe is always pestering for signed pics, merchandise etc...

I thibnk this is tesatment to the hard work put in by everyone including the ROOSTER listeners:

"I hope your have recovered from the big night in the Pavillion on Saturday. I have to say the whole experience far exceeded what I expected. Your organisation of the gig was top class and all of the crew from RedFM were so helpful and are really lovely people. The Blizzards and Fred were brilliant live and I am sure your listeners, who did not get tickets for the gig, will have enjoyed the live broadcast.

To be honest I was blown away with the generosity of the Cork people as they arrived at the door of the Pavillion . I know it was a free gig and that RedFM had asked people to make a donation at the door but the level of generous donations really surprised me. I know lots of people can have personal reasons for wanting to support breast cancer research but it was very encouraging to see the level of support we received on the night. The total realised from the gig was a staggering €10,000 and this money will greatly assist Prof. Michael Kerin and his team at the National Breast Cancer Research Institute to carry on their great work. If anyone would like to get further information on the work of the NBCRI they can visit our web site www.breastcancerresearch.ie .

An example of the generous support was the following envelopes which were handed in

• €850 from John Coakley, family & friends & Keary's Toyota Cork
• €400 from Kelly Bros & fellow work mates
• €200 from The Jordan Family,Kathryn Collins, Peggy, Aisling and Barry Murray -All chipped in.

This gig was a total success thanks to a huge effort from yourself and the wonderful RedFM team. The Blizzards and Fred were fantastic and the management and staff of the Pavillion could not have been more helpful, all helping to making it a really memorable night.

On behalf of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute I wish yourself, the crew at RedFM and all your listeners a very peaceful Christmas and happy New Year.

With kind regards

Joe Duffy
