Concert For Families of Irish Republican POWs

The Irish Freedom Committee is pleased to present the 2005 Irish Humanitarian Benefit Saturday April 16. Headlining the concert to benefit the dependents of Irish Republican POWs will be south side Chicago’s own Twin Wrecks The Memory. Also playing will be the The Blissters, Low of the Low, and others.
In this drive to awaken the Irish-American Community of the failure of the 1998 Stormont Treaty and subsequent British human rights violations on Irish soil, these bands will converge at O’Malley’s for an energetic night in defiance of political apathy. Entertainment will also include the raffling of POW Handcrafts, posters, memorabilia and tee shirts. Birthday and holiday cards to be distributed to the POWs will be available for signing.

The event is being hosted by O’Malley’s Music Showcase Club on Chicagoland’s south side at 11957 South Pulaski in Alsip, Illinois. O’Malley’s owns a powerful venue tradition with atmosphere and reputation. Plenty of parking is available. Doors open early. Tickets are $10.

The Irish Freedom Committee is a Nation-wide, Registered Not-for-Profit, wholly U.S.- based organization dedicated to education on the true root causes of the 850-years war against British occupation, and to the humanitarian and charitable support of the dependents of anti-Treaty Irish Republican POWs. We publish news from Occupied Ireland that is ignored or censored by the mainstream press, and we work to expose continuing human rights abuses under British military rule.
