Award winning Irish dance show to be streamed online

Audiences worldwide will get a unique glimpse of an award winning Irish dance and music show tomorrow (Saturday) as their performance is live streamed online.
Guests will also attend the Gaelic Roots Show, created and produced by well-known local Niall O'Donoghue, in-person live at the Dúchas Comhaltas Centre at MTU Tralee.
Niall has been involved in both the entertainment and hotel industry since the 1980s and has won many awards and accolades since its debut.
It's the number one pre-sold show in Killarney with many worldwide tour operators booking seats two years in advance for their clients to guarantee that they do not miss out on the opportunity to experience the show when they visit the county.
It will feature the amazingly talented Gaelic Roots traditional band under the direction of musical director Conor Moriarty. Also performing will be the wonderful Elle Marie Dwyer and the show's cast of Irish dancers which include two-time world champion Sean Slemon.
"The event has been sold out for weeks and the demand was so great that we could have filled the venue 10 times over!" Niall said.
The talented group were approached by Kerry Comhaltas early in the summer and asked if they would be available to work alongside them to produce and perform a very special performance.
The two hour show has received five star reviews and testimonials and nightly standing ovations throughout the 2022 season.
"The demand for tickets grows every year, with most performances being sold out and the feedback we receive from tour companies is that Gaelic Roots was their client's overall most enjoyable, memorable and favourite experience during their vacation in Ireland."
Gaelic Roots in Concert at the Duchas Comhaltas Centre is funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s live performance programming scheme with support from Kerry County Council.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
