Daniel’s back and planning live Killarney shows 

Published

on

He’s back! Daniel O’Donnell will perform his first live concerts in Ireland since 2020 after they were cancelled due to COVID.

And dates for 2022 will include the INEC Killarney from August 25 to 28.

Loyal fans are delighted that the concerts, originally scheduled for 2020, can now go ahead. Most tickets were snapped up when they originally went on sale, with the majority of Daniel fans holding onto their tickets when the shows were rescheduled but management have announced that they are releasing a small number of additional seats in order to cater for the high demand!

“I have so missed our live shows, there is nothing like performing to a live audience. I, and all the band and crew, are so looking forward to getting back on road again in Ireland this year. It is such good news that life is returning to normal so we can all get back together again safely. These shows will be incredibly special, I cannot wait to see you all.”

2021 was a special year for Daniel as he celebrated his 60th birthday, marking it with a brand-new album ‘Daniel O’Donnell 60’ featuring 13 tracks of new recordings. Fans will remember his brand-new, feel-good single ‘Down at the Lah De Dah’, also released last year - with a video that went viral and put a massive smile on everyone’s face. Daniel’s recording career has now spanned 40 years and in 2021, Daniel broke his own world record by becoming the first recording artist to chart at least one new album each year in the UK Artist Albums Chart for 34 consecutive years.

Tickets are on sale from ticketmaster.ie.

Picture This add extra Killarney date to ‘Home for Christmas’ tour

Published

Due to phenomenal demand, Picture This have added an extra Killarney date to their Home for Christmas tour.

The band will now perform at the Gleneagle Arena on Saturday, 20 December 2025, in addition to their previously announced run of sold-out arena shows.
The band’s stage production features a pub, its garden and a car park, combining the atmosphere of a lock-in with the intimacy of a trad session while showcasing songs from their four albums.
The announcement comes on the back of their new single Heart over Head, a collaboration with German artist Joris and a reworking of his hit Herz über Kopf. The track blends Picture This’s anthemic sound with Joris’ folk-pop style. The accompanying video, filmed in Dublin, has just been released.
Since forming in 2015, Picture This have sold out arenas at home and abroad and built a global fanbase.
Tickets, priced at €67.70/€72.70 plus Ticketmaster service charge (max €10.50), are on sale now at ticketmaster.ie

Bottle caps used to create portrait of Liam O’Connor

Published

on


A well-known Killarney musician has been honoured in a striking new artwork made entirely from recycled bottle caps.


Local artist Elhaji Conde has created a mosaic portrait of his friend Liam O’Connor, the celebrated musician and performer.
The piece, titled “The Art of Performing”, shows Liam with his accordion and is made from 5,482 bottle caps collected locally.
“At first glance it’s the colours and textures that catch your eye, but when you look closer each cap feels like it has its own story to tell, much like Liam’s music,” said Elhaji. “This artwork doesn’t just show Liam’s face, it captures his spirit. It’s a reminder that great music doesn’t simply disappear when the last tune is over. It carries on, inspiring people, sparking memories, and even turning up in unexpected forms like this mosaic portrait.”
Liam O’Connor said he was “blown away” by the work.
