Donegal born Irish Folk singer, Danny Kelly, now lives in Glasgow. It’s a story familiar with vast swathes of the Celtic support and the Glasgow Irish community, whose heritage can more often than not be traced to ‘the forgotten county’.
Performing a live Facebook gig on Saturday 18 April, through the Glasgow Irish Bands And Gigs page, then on Sunday 19 April, via the Glasgow Celtic Champions page, Danny sang a range of Irish folk, political and traditional Celtic FC songs. The gigs were in aid of the Patient Supplies Drive for Bournemouth & Poole hospitals, with the funds from these videos being utilised to purchase items for those on the children’s wards.
Viewed by Celtic fans in Ireland, America, England and Scotland; Danny managed to raise £100 for the cause in under two hours!
His efforts are hugely appreciated and can be seen in the video below:
