Irish country music star Nathan Carter recently headlined “An Irish Shindig” at Camden’s Electric Ballroom, an event that celebrated Irish culture while promoting mental health awareness. Hosted by iCap, the UK’s leading provider of culturally sensitive therapy for the Irish community, the evening attracted over 300 attendees who enjoyed a blend of live music and important discussions around mental well-being.

The event featured not only Carter but also performances from The Reels, Two Canoes, and Colin Andrew. The night was expertly hosted by Irish comedian and podcaster Joe O’Neill, who engaged the audience with humor and warmth.

All proceeds from the event will support iCap’s mission to provide culturally sensitive therapy and counselling to the Irish community in Britain, focusing on individuals who have experienced trauma, displacement, or mental health challenges. This mission aligns with iCap’s long-standing commitment to serve the Irish community since its inception in 1996.

Fionuala Bonnar, CEO of iCap, expressed her gratitude for the success of the event. She stated, “An Irish Shindig was far more than a great night of music and craic; it was a powerful coming together of our Irish community in London and the surrounding counties. We’re incredibly grateful to the artists, our audience, and the venue for helping us raise vital funds that allow us to continue supporting Irish individuals and families in need of mental health services.”

iCap operates therapy centres in both London and Birmingham, where qualified professionals assist hundreds of individuals each year, offering a safe and confidential space for healing and growth.
