The Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is dedicated to supporting people and their families living with Cystic Fibrosis.
The ball is charity’s major fundraiser and also a celebration of all the hard work that has been done as they are now very close to their goal of opening Ireland’s first home away from home Tranquility House in just a few short weeks.
As people travel from all over Ireland for treatment in Dublin, Tranquility House will ensure families can be there to support their loved one when in hospital, at a time when it is most vital.
The Honeydews, an Irish vocal trio celebrated for their vintage jazz and swing performances, welcomed guests as they arrived, while The New Brass Kings delivered a high-energy performance of pop songs on a mix of trumpet, trombone, saxophones, sousaphone, and percussion.

The angelic voices of the Palestrina Boys Choir, the prestigious Dublin-based choir, treated guests to some festive favourites, while virtuoso violinist Vladimir Jablokov wowed with his blend of classical and contemporary music.
Reel Irish Dance Entertainment were delighted to perform at the ball. Led by Sean O’Brien and his team of 24 performers, which included 12 World Champions and 12 All Ireland Champions.
It was then the turn of acclaimed Irish soprano Claudia Boyle, known for her exceptional vocal technique, expressive performances, and wide-ranging operatic repertoire.
Lifting the energy after dinner and the auction was DJ Peter Kearney, closing the evening’s entertainment line-up with excellent music tracks as guests hit the dance floor until the wee hours!
