12/04/19 - Videos from Men's Charity Wax Night In Aid Of Happy Feet For Sophia

Here are some videos that I recorded at the Men's Charity Wax Night last week.
Apologies for the poor quality of some, I haven't much time for editing this week.
There is no doubt about it, it was a crazy night and it was great to see funds being raised for such a good cause.

First up we have Gerry Griffin

Then it was Andrew Campbell's turn

Eddie Murray was next on the couch

Rory Durnin was on the receiving end of some brotherly love

Ben O'Brien seemed to escape very lightly

Jamie Rooney didn't escape so easily, with Brian McCoy getting up close and personal with him.

It didn't seem to knock a feather out of Barney Kelly

Stephen Harmon took it all in his stride

Andy Mooney had lots of friends who offered to sponsor him.

Brian McCoy made his first appearance on the table, he too had plenty of friends to sponsor him.

Aaron Keely was next to feel the generosity of his friends.

I think without a doubt Brian Melia was the most popular participant on the night!

Last man for the wax treatment, but by no means least, was Aidan Mooney.

Pat McHugh was the first to get shaved

Brian McCoy was back on the couch to say goodbye to the beard

I had great plans to produce a video of the acts that performed but my ambition was greater than my ability. I ran out of time.
So here are the clips stitched together, warts and all.
It was great to see these lads take to the stage and play a cracking set on the night.
