Ukrainians from the Innisfallen Hotel were guests of the traditional Gaelic Roots show in the Killarney Avenue Hotel at the invitation of Niall and Suzanne Kelsh O’Donoghue.
It was a great combination of traditional singing and dancing with more modern.
"Cultural language is understood by all without exception. That's why we wanted to share our culture with Ukrainians. We also wanted Ukrainians who came to Ireland to feel happy,” Niall O’Donoghue said.
Suzanne welcomed all the guests at the entrance to the hall and had even prepared sweet presents for Ukrainian children. Suzanne says that she learned about Ukrainians from her friend Tatyana McGough, and they immediately decided to arrange a show for Ukrainian guests.
Giselle opened the show with a greeting in Ukrainian “Glory to Ukraine!” (Thanks for the great pronunciation, Giselle), and the hall exploded with applause. There were tears in people's eyes.
For two hours we got acquainted with Irish music, dancing and singing. This show became a real therapy for our people and gave unforgettable positive emotions. For the first time in three weeks in Killarney, I saw the happy faces of our people.
