Michael Londra is one of the one of the most recognised voices in Irish music, touring the globe sharing his incredible voice with fans.
The Wexford, Ireland native performed with Riverdance and earned two Emmy-nominations for his show Beyond Celtic. Now, he is taking his influential role in the music and theatre scene to help others and encourage understanding and compassion. Recently, Michael came across a video which displayed a beautiful moment of solidarity between police offers and community leaders at a local community center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The group met at the location for a special service in honor of George Floyd, the African American man who was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis. His senseless death, caught on video, shocked the world and led to protests across the United States and world.
The video took place in Lincoln, Nebraska, a city where Londra’s latest show, Celtic Fire, plans to perform to a sold-out crowd in March 2021, one year after its original scheduled date was cancelled due to Covid-19.
Seeing the cooperation between the police and protesters was heartwarming. “The Police and the protestors were dancin’ up a storm, “ said Londra. And, he loved what he saw on the video which inspired him to get involved.
