By Michelle Crean
The free Spraoi Chiarraí concerts continue in Killarney with the next one planned tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm, Killarney House & Gardens.
So far the talented youth who perform Irish folk and traditional music, song and dance, storytelling, mentorship, and performance have entertained locals are tourists alike with the final summer date taking place on August 27 at St Mary’s Church of Ireland.
They also have had great success over the last 17 summers.
Breda Kelliher, Fossa (Concertina) and Bríd O’Sé Farranfore (Accordion) will feature with storyteller Pa Sugrue and Irish dancers.
This feast of young Irish Folk talent is joined by Tim O’Shea Director/Producer, himself a professional folk musician for decades.
"Open to all, this family entertainment is sponsored this year by Kerry Council Council Arts Office Arts Act and Community Support Funds, Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce who made it possible and offer increased support and promotion, Kerry Gems Publishing (Advert Sponsor)," Tim O'Shea said.
"The concerts feature Fiddle, Irish Harp, Accordion, Flute and Whistle, Irish Uilleann Pipes, Guitar, Harmonica, Bodhrán and Vocals as well as Irish dancing and Irish storytelling outdoor only. This year the group have also performed again at Puck Fair. All shows are free so come along, families welcome."
