A free concert celebrating the music of some of Kerry's finest musicians will take place this Saturday night at St. Mary's Church of Ireland on Main Street.

The August 17 concert, featuring Tim O'Shea (Kilcummin) and friends, will showcase traditional Irish music and song in the beautiful surroundings of the church.

The evening will feature music from O'Shea and Mike Kelliher's well-received CD, ‘Another Skin Too Few’, which pays tribute to several renowned Kerry musicians who have sadly passed away. The concert will also include performances by Rosie Healy on flute, completing the trio.

The musicians being remembered include Con Durham (Dublin and Dingle), John Cronin (Aghadoe and New York), Stephen Carroll (Maulykevane), and the legendary fiddler Paddy Cronin (Kiskeam and Boston). Their music, along with original compositions and arrangements, will be performed throughout the evening.

The concert will also feature an original poem and spoken word piece by Belfast poet Adrian Fox, set to the music of Sigerson Clifford, as well as two Scottish songs discovered by O'Shea during his travels.

This promises to be a special night of music, spanning generations and celebrating the rich musical heritage of Kerry. The concert is free, and everyone is welcome.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of traditional Irish music in one of Killarney's most iconic and historic venues.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
