Kind and talented LUH staff raise thousands at variety shows

The very talented staff of Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) have raised thousands for charity through their recently hosted variety shows at An Grianán Theatre.

The concert brought together the best of LUH’s actors, musicians, performers, singers and dancers for a night of entertainment and laughs.

The famous LUH choir led by renowned choral director, Veronica McCarron, opened and closed the concert. The staff variety show is a long-standing tradition in Letterkenny, but was on pause for the last four years due to the pandemic and staff were delighted to hit the stage again.
