Variety Pays Tribute to Entertainer Joe Cuddy

Kevin and Betty Wall once again played eloquent hosts with the Variety Club of Ireland, to pay tribute to our own singer and entertainer Joe Cuddy.

An emotional, nostalgic and fun filled event was had where all enjoyed a super event in the Grand Hotel Malahide on 9th November 2008.
The room was stunning in white and immediately there was an atmosphere of homeliness and friendliness enjoyed by all the 250 people attending, who witnessed the amazing compilation of Joe Cuddy, Sonny Knowles, Sean Dunphy, Tony Kenny, Brian Hoey singing their hearts out. Pete St. John (who is the legendary writer of such songs as ‘Dublin in the Rare ol’ Times and ‘The Fields of Athenry’ ) also give us a memorable recitation.

We also enjoyed Vicky Kenny and Elvis who delighted us all with their energy and singing talent. Ronan Collins had no problem enjoying shared MC with all the celebrities there. Joe Cuddy sang magnificently and was delighted to receive also a tribute portrait of Bing Crosby by our Variety Artist Yvonne Loftus Kelly on behalf of Variety Club of Ireland.

Two Coaches were presented, one for Saplings School and one for Stepping Stones School at this event.
