Free concert at ANAM Cultural Centre tonight
The first of three free concerts at ANAM Killarney Arts and Cultural Centre will take place tonight (Tuesday) at 7.30pm.
Well-known musician Tim O’Shea will bring Afro Trad Ireland to the centre.
It is one of three concerts there thanks to funding through Phase Four of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s Local Live Performance Programming Scheme.
The aim of the scheme is to support employment opportunities for professional performers and technicians and to help underpin the recovery of the commercial live performance sector.
“Kerry County Council thanks Minister Catherine Martin and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media for their continued support. Over the previous three instalments of the Local Live Performance Programming Scheme, Kerry County Council has had the opportunity to support more than 300 Kerry-based professional artists, musicians, crew and other staff involved in live performances and we are grateful to be able to support many more with this fourth instalment,” said Mayor of Kerry, Cllr John Francis-Flynn.
Two further free concerts will also take place at ANAM in the coming weeks – Cathal Flaherty and Lorraine Nash, both talented musicians from Killarney.
Cathal Flaherty has played all over Ireland and across Europe in the last few years and has supported many well-known artists including Bressie, Delerentos, Jack L, Paddy Casey, The Riptide Movement, Mundy, Heathers and many more.
Lorraine Nash is a talented multi-instrumentalist, often using a variety of instruments including piano, guitar, harp, flute and violin in her creative process to embody her song-writing with different influences and ambience.
