Jane also met well known local teacher and musican Noel O'Sullivan and even posted a video onto her Instagram which has 281K followers!
"Happy #OpenHeartsSunday! Some of life’s most special moments happen when you least expect them. We met Mr. O’Sullivan here at Hilliard’s in Killarney beautifully playing the piano. Get this, he does it all by ear as he can’t read music!!
"Loved singing ‘Imagine’ together and getting to know him. Today I encourage you to say YES to new experiences outside of your routines, you never know what wonderful moments are just around the corner!"
