Presentation of cheque from Ted Ponsonby charity concert

A presentation of a cheque for €5,670 was made today from funds raised at a special charity concert held in memory of Letterkenny musician, Ted Ponsonby.

The money will go towards the development of a new Arts and Performance area at the Bernard McGlinchey Town Park in Letterkenny which will depict a sculpture in honour of Ted.

The Ponsonby family have offered their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all the artists and musicians who participated in the concert, those who attended on the night, made donations or helped make the fundraiser such a success.

The event, which took place at An Grianan Theatre in January, attracted a packed audience and celebrated the life of Ted Ponsonby who died in September 2023.

The family now hope people will visit the park when the new facility is completed, to sit and ponder on their memories of Ted, and the legacy he has left behind.

They have also thanked Cllr Jimmy Kavanagh who initiated the idea of the new Arts and Performance area; An Grianán Theatre for hosting the concert, and the various sponsors of the event.
