‘Fridge’ author talks in Dublin

THE
Musical Youth Foundation children’s charity has teamed up with best-selling
author, TV and radio comedian, Tony Hawks, to present a very special film
screening of

‘Round Ireland With A Fridge’.

The
event will be hosted by Hawks who will be answering audience questions
following the screening.

The
film, which is directed by renowned producer Ed Bye of Red Dwarf fame, is based
on the true life adventures of Hawks and his absurd quest to hitch round
Ireland within a month

?¦ with a fridge.

The
book became a top 10 Sunday Times bestseller in 1998, was serialised on BBC
Radio 4, and led to a six month TV advertising campaign for HARP Irish Lager.

It
has now sold well over 800,000 copies worldwide including the US and Australia,
and has been translated into several languages including Hebrew, Italian, Dutch
and German. The movie cast includes Ed Byrne, Sean Hughes and Valerie O’Connor
as well as Tony Hawks who plays himself.

Tickets
for this exclusive, fun-filled event are available for just e10 from
www.entertainment.ie/myf

All
proceeds go directly to the Musical Youth Foundation, which is working to
provide every child on the Island of Ireland with access to a musical
education.

The
foundation was established in 2009 under the umbrella of the Dublin City Soul
Festival project. It is currently running a number of very successful guitars
for kids’ projects in Dublin and has plans to expand across Ireland as funds
allow.

Charity
founder and CEO, Chris Maher, said:

“We are delighted to be teaming up with
Tony for this very special film screening. Our goal with fundraising events is
always to offer people the chance to support our vital work in return for a
great day or night out at a reasonable price.
