BELFAST singer Brian Kennedy and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Fr Liam Lawton will be topping the bill at a special concert next week alongside singing legal eagles The Pro Bono Choir.
The choir has organised a fundraising concert called A Place Called Home at St Anne's Cathedral on Thursday May 18 at 8pm to support the homeless in Belfast, with the proceeds going to the Welcome Organisation.
Formed in 2009 with 50 members, the Pro Bono's ranks have now increased to 70 singers who are by profession solicitors, barristers and tribunal members or law students and friends of the north's legal family.
The Pro Bonos have held several fundraising concerts in the city over the years, on behalf of Action Mental Health and the Northern Ireland Hospice.
Next Thursday's concert will be a welcome return to the stage for west Belfast singer Brian Kennedy, who was treated last year for cancer. His elder brother, and one of the city's best-known musicians, Bap Kennedy, was diagnosed with cancer in the same year as Brian but sadly died in November.
Brian's singles such as A Better Man and his rendition of You Raise Me Up will be performed with the choir. Also appearing will be the Abaana New Life Children's Choir from Uganda and barrister baritone Karl McGuckin, who has recently performed in the musical Jekyll and Hyde at the Grand Opera House.
:: Tickets are still available to purchase for £15 from the St Anne’s Cathedral website or alternatively at http://bit.ly/ProBonoAPlaceCalledHome
