All roads lead to the Gleneagle Hotel tonight, (April 25), for a special celebration marking Dermot Moriarty’s 35 years of his popular ‘Sounds Country’ show on Radio Kerry.

A stellar lineup of country music stars will take to the stage to honour Dermot's milestone.
Headlining the night is Jack Keogh, with other featured artists including Olivia Douglas, Patrick and Conor O’Sullivan, PJ Murrihy, Shawn Cuddy, and Neily O’Connor.
John Glenn will travel from Armagh, also celebrating his own 50th anniversary since joining The Mainliners following Big Tom's departure.
Dermot’s lifelong passion for country music began nearly 60 years ago, listening to country shows on Radio 1.
He fondly remembers buying records at Jack Scully’s music shop in Killarney. His own career as an entertainer began with The Country Rangers, followed by the duo Gypsy Fever with Sean Brosnan. Their hit song ‘Killarney In My Dreams’ written by Denis Allen and performed on RTE in 1983, reached number two in the charts. Dermot later formed his own successful band, The Kerry Cowboys.
In 1990, Dermot joined Radio Kerry, where he has dedicated the past 35 years to sharing his love of country music with listeners. It is estimated he has played over 145,000 songs during his tenure.
Doors to the Gleneagle Ballroom will open at 7pm with the show starting at 8pm. Tickets are priced at €20 and will be available at the door.
