Teens get Fred to play free mental health gig

Two teenagers have persuaded one of Ireland’s top bands to play a free gig to promote the positive link between mental health and music.

Cork band Fred will headline the Think Big Gig in Connolly’s of Leap on Saturday, July 14, organised for their peers by Schull Community College students, Ethan Lawlor and Ryan Crowley, both aged 17.

Ryan said music is a huge part of teenagers’ lives and he and Ethan wanted to reflect that in their project.
