Country legend Declan Nerney to host night of music in memory of talented County Derry drummer

Irish country star Declan Nerney is set to host a night of music next month as a tribute to his late drummer, who died following a car crash in October.

Christopher Bradley, from Desertmartin, was a passenger in a car that was involved in a collision with a tractor in the early hours of October 14 on the M1 northbound between Junctions 12 and 14 at Mooremont.

Two other men, aged in their 20s and 60s, who were also travelling in the car were injured in the crash.

Dad-of-two, Mr Bradley was returning from a dance in County Kildare with his bandmates when the tragic crash happened.

'A night for Chris Bradley' will be held in the Tullyglass Hotel, Ballymena on Tuesday, February 13 in memory of the talented musician.

Artists set to perform at the event include Declan Nerney, Derek Ryan, Jimmy Buckley, Robert Mizzell and Patrick Feeney.

The Tumbling Paddies, Philomena Begley, Barry Kirwan and Margo will also take to the stage on the night, which begins at 8.00pm.

They will be joined by Dominic Kirwan, Mick Flavin, Hugo Duncan, Kieran McGilligan and Jason McGilligan.
