Popular Irish country music star Nathan Carter 'locked up' for very good reason
Irish Prison Service confirm Nathan Carter was committed into the custody of the Governor of Castlerea Prison
The Irish Prison Service confirm that the famous Irish country music singer, Nathan Carter, was committed into the custody of the Governor of Castlerea Prison.
Conditions as part of the sentence handed down to the county singer was to perform for “one night only” at an exclusive charity fundraising event at Castlerea Prison.
The church located inside the walls of Castlerea Prison provided a 'remarkable' venue for Nathan Carter to perform on Thursday, July 11, but the concert also recognised the significant work prison staff do across Ireland for their local charities.
The one-of-a-kind concert aimed to raise vital funds for three admirable charities: Paediatric Ward in Sligo General Hospital, Roscommon Youth Services and Mayo Roscommon Hospice.
Nathan performed for staff and invited guests from the local and surrounding communities. Those in attendance not only enjoyed an unforgettable musical experience in a prison environment but also contributed to the three charities.
The Paediatric Ward in Sligo General Hospital will benefit from new baby monitors and equipment, while Roscommon Youth Services will use the proceeds to support a bursary program for youths aged 10 to 24.
Additionally, Mayo Roscommon Hospice will receive contributions towards the Sensory and Healing Garden in the newly developed Roscommon Hospice.
The concert was recorded and will be streamed into prisoner cells via TV channels.
