Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor is teaming up with Cork-based mental health campaign group Mad Pride Ireland to play a fundraising concert at the Triskel Arts Centre in Cork on October 19th. The concert is the first of a series of high-profile associations to promote more understanding of mental health in Ireland.
Mad Pride Ireland's chief executive David McCarthy said he hoped the concert would help highlight the issue of mental health and 'the need for the wider community to engage with the normality of madness'.
Mr McCarthy said the group believed that the best way to promote understanding of mental health was to engage the community through active participation in a fun environment.
O'Conner is to be supported at the concert by the Ger Wolfe Trio. Tickets are available at the Triskel or through their website triskelartscentre.ie.
