English song writer and guitarist, George Ezra sold out at Killarney's INEC for two incredible gigs over the weekend.

And the 29-year-old didn't fail to entertain!

At 18, he was discovered via YouTube. He was born on June 7, 1993, the son of an art teacher. Ezra grew up in Hertford, before moving to Bristol, England in 2011 to pursue a music degree at the influential music school British and Irish Modern Music Institute 'BIMM'.

He won a Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist and many YouTube Music Awards.

Before he made 'Wanted On Voyage', Ezra took a solo train trip across Europe for inspiration, as he eavesdropped on conversations and took notes to find starting points for songs.

After releasing two EPs, 'Did You Hear the Rain?' and 'Cassy O', Ezra rose to prominence with the release of his hit single, 'Budapest', which reached number one in several countries.

'Gold Rush Kid', embroidered in gold on his Levi's jacket, is the third studio album by Ezra, released on June 10 last year by Columbia Records. The album was promoted by four very popular singles: 'Anyone for You', 'Green Green Grass', 'Dance All Over Me' and 'Sweetest Human Being Alive'.

‘Samhain’ Autumn Gathering will take place from October 17 until October 19 in Killarney this year.

It is a series of free events being organised by the Conservation Rangers and NPWS.

Rutting season is now underway, and this is a popular time for photographers who travel from all around Ireland to capture the renowned Native Irish Deer that reside in Killarney National Park.


On Friday, there will be a talk on ‘The Chough’, an insight into the life of a rare bird, by Clare Heardmanm, NPWS Ecologist in the Conservation Measures Unit. It will take place at Killarney House auditorium at 7.30pm, and bookings are made through Eventbrite.


The very popular ‘Morning Deer Walks’ with Conservation Ranger Padruig O’Sullivan are planned for Saturday October 17 and Sunday October 18.

The meeting point for these is Deenagh Cottage just inside the front gate of the Demesne.

It starts at 7.00am. Padruig’s informative walks are always very engaging, no bookings are required.


The distinctive bellowing and fierce rutting behaviour has fascinated Killarney for a long time.

The rich colours of Autumn, the morning light and shadows of evening light make the park so spectacular at this time of year.


On Saturday evening, a talk ‘Toads in Trouble’ will focus on protecting Ireland’s endangered Natterjack Toads by Brid Calhoun, NPWS Conservation Ranger.


‘Nocturnal Ramble’ will take place on Sunday evening at 6pm and this event will include walking through woodlands in the dark. Booking will be online closer to the event.
