Drum Head Auction Honors Teen Drummer | Galway News

A signed drum head from Phil Collins sold for over three thousand euros at the Galway Drum Show, raising vital funds for the Sunflower Children’s Hospice in Mayo — a tribute to Adam Nagajek, a gifted 17-year-old drummer who died from cancer but left behind a powerful musical legacy. Despite never having formal lessons, Adam placed top three nationally and kept performing until his final days. His mother, Ola, praised the auction’s success and emphasized the urgent need for pediatric palliative care, as many children like Adam receive care in adult facilities. The funds will build Ireland’s first children’s hospice on the western coast, complete with eight beds, family accommodation, and therapeutic spaces — a lasting community-driven gift honoring Adam’s passion and ensuring other families won’t face the same gaps in care.
