A Christmas charity show at Lochgelly’s Torley's Bar and Restaurant has raised a fantastic £1,754 for good causes including Cash for Kids and the HyperClub.
The event consisted of three singers including Joe Yates, Grady Kinnell and Kelly Kirkham.
Organiser Amy Innes said: “I lost my nana in July, and she was like my best friend. I wasn’t that buzzed for Christmas this year, so I thought ‘Why not do something for somebody else?’
“If it means that kids can wake up with some gifts and it can help the Hyperclub keep going, that’s good.
“I’ve been doing events for a while, and I wanted to do one on a bigger scale. I raised money for Cash for Kids last year, and everybody loves a good night out for Christmas.
“My friend Kelly came on board, and wanted to raise money for the Hyperclub because they’ve been an absolute godsend for her and her daughter, and they’re really good for the kids. We just decided to split it down the middle and started planning it.”
Both causes received £873 from the event.
As well as being an employee of Torley's, Amy works full time in business support with Fife Council.
She said: “I didn’t have to put myself out of pocket by paying for it all, so they were really good with it.
“Kelly and I are really grateful to the venue for their help. Obviously, pubs are struggling after Covid and stuff, and along with everything else they even donated 50 quid.
“Everybody seemed to really enjoy themselves. I got a few complaints about the hangovers after which was great because it means everybody had a good time!”
One local karaoke star, Jade Mycock, was invited up to perform. Amy said: “One of the guests was saying ‘Jade’s quite good at singing’ and we asked her to come on stage. Everybody was mesmerised by her.”
Raffle prizes raised extra cash, with businesses such as Rise and Dine and Nardone’s Academy contributing prizes.
