IN PICS: Blake’s Bar rocks to the beat for charity

Blake’s Bar in Letterkenny rocked to the sounds of two of the biggest names from the dance music scene as part of a very special charity fundraiser on Saturday night.

Ticket demands for the charity gig featuring DJs Patrick Topping and Rebüke were off the scale.

And those who did manage to get to Blake’s were part of a brilliant night where funds raised will go to the Irish Cancer Society.

Letterkenny native Mike Toner is back in town for a visit from his home  in Melbourne, Australia, where he works as a music promoter and has also carried out incredible work for charity. 

He is also a cousin of international DJ and tech house heavyweight Reuben Keeney, aka Rebüke, who is also from Letterkenny.

Mike and Reuben decided to combine their connections in the music industry to take the charitable work closer to home.

Mike’s sister, Louise, a married 45-year-old mother-of-three who lives in Letterkenny, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which has spread to her bones and spine. 

Louise has, down the years, also carried out incredible work for charity events.

The night also featured Patrick Topping, the  highly influential English DJ, electronic music producer, and record label owner.
