  • FRAMINGHAM IRISH BAND TOUR BENEFITS CHILDREN

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — A popular Framingham, Massachusetts band, the Belfast Cowboys, started their Annual St. Patrick’s Day Tour at the Snug Irish Pub in Hingham, MA last weekend.

    The band’s primary purpose is to benefit Project Children, an organization that brings Catholic and Protestant children from Northern Ireland for a month long summer reprieve to the United States.

The net proceeds from CD sales and performances are donated to Project Children.

    The Massachusetts Coordinator for Project Children is the founder of the Belfast Cowboys, Jerry Robinson. If you would be interested in hosting an Irish child this summer or would like more information please contact Jerry at (508) 877-9624.
