Irish Grocers Benevolent Fund's (IGBF) has announced that Gavin James will headline the celebration of the grocery industry, called the Stocked Festival, on Thursday, 12 September at the Orlagh House, Rathfarnham, Dublin.
The festival will feature other musicians and comedians Deirdre O’Kane, Karl Spain, and Eric Lalor, according to a statement. Additionally, Ireland’s producers will provide food and drinks.
The profits from the festival will go to IGBF so it can give back to the grocery industry.
Leonard Hegarty, chairman, IGBF said, “We’re really looking forward to bringing something new to the trade this year; but continuing with the goal of all our events — to raise the funds necessary to support the individuals and families who need us.”
