It seems that drive-in movies are allowed but the Gleneagle Hotel’s plan to host an outdoor drive-in concert and a comedy sketch have fallen foul of COVID-19 restrictions.

Gavin James, who packed the INEC’s indoor arena on New Year’s Eve, was due to headline two drive-in concerts on the hotel’s grounds this August.

Local comedian Bernard ‘Local Gossip’ Casey was scheduled to appear at the same drive-in venue the following day.

“Due to the recent movement of Government phases, we are very sorry to announce that our series of Inside Out Drive In Concerts with Gavin James and Bernard Casey Comedy due to take place on August 8 and 9 will no longer be going ahead. We look forward to welcoming both acts back when it is safe to do so,” an event organiser told the Killarney Advertiser.

The Gleneagle Hotel confirmed that full refunds will be automatically refunded to ticket holders.

Meanwhile, Ireland’s first drive-in circus is scheduled to take place in Tralee next week. Circus Vegas, which has been stranded in the town since the beginning of lockdown, will host three shows from Thursday through to Saturday at its temporary home on Dan Spring Road.

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.”
