Titanic concert to be beamed around the world

A HUGE outdoor concert from Titanic’s last port of call will be beamed around the world next year to mark the 100th anniversary of her sinking.

The concert, featuring music by Riverdance composer Bill Whelan, will be one of the highlights of the year-long Titanic 100 Cobh 2012 commemoration.

As part of a national tribute, the Navy will perform a fleet review and the Air Corps will execute a fly-past of Cobh on April 11 to mark the 100th anniversary of the doomed liner’s arrival in what was then Queenstown.
