Mr Bradley was on his way home from a dance in Co Kildare when tragedy struck on October 14.

The conert in his honour is set to take place at the Tullyglass Hotel, Ballymena[3] on Tuesday, February 13 and is dubbed as a concert featuring "Declan Nerney and a host of his country music colleagues in tribute to one of Irelands finest musicians Chris Bradley".
