DONEGAL musician and show jumping owner Delilah Cuddihey from Carndonagh was in Chantilly to support her friend, Portugal show jumper Luciana Diniz, in the Global Champions Tour Grand Prix.

Delilah, a vice principal in Carndonagh is best known as the keyboard player for Brian Kennedy on tour, and many bands over the years.

However she has written the forward for Luciana Diniz’s new show jumping book Jump 4 your Dreams - Learning with the Masters.

Delilah had the draft copy in Chantilly and was in discussions with Luciana regarding masterclasses at which she has assisted.

PROGRESS

“The book is a long time putting together, but we are getting there,” explained Delilah. “I love coming out to shows and walking the courses and helping Luciana with the grass roots training of others.”

Delilah will attend Valkenswaard show where she has a leg in a horse with Malin’s Ronan McLaughlin.

However, she is raising money for The Arc animal shelter in Letterkenny by having a music band festival in her garden, when all her friends are coming to support it.

“Instead of bringing a birthday present, you have to bring paper money,” warned Delilah.

“It’s all going to the charity.”
