One local business is planning a very unique fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society tomorrow (Saturday).

 

Staff from the Perfect Therapy Clinic based in the Reeks Gateway are planning treatments for €15 - with funds going to the Irish Cancer Society.

 

The person who came up with the idea is physiotherapist Jana Lalikova, who owns Perfect Therapy Clinic, Jana, who is also taking part in Strictly Come Dancing in aid of The Irish Cancer Society in the INEC on March 8, wanted to organise a fundraiser.

She decided to offer treatments to new and existing customers and generously give the proceeds to the charity.

“The amount of customers we have had that’ve had a past medical history of cancer and went through it is frightening,” Jana told the Killarney Advertiser.

“So we decided we would do something to help out just like the dancing.”

 

Treatments on offer tomorrow from 10am until 1pm include massage and reflexology with all proceeds going to the charity.

 

Booking is necessary.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Two of Killarney’s rising musical talents, Amano and Lillie Foley, are set to perform their first ever joint headline concert at the ANAM Cultural Centre.

Singer-songwriter and sean nós singer Amano will bring her ‘Mythilligocial Meitheal Tour’ home for a special live performance of both her contemporary and traditional music.

Joining her on the night is local rising star Lillie Foley, making it a special event to celebrate two young Killarney songwriters making their mark on the Irish music scene. The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

Amano, described by Hot Press in 2024 as an “idiosyncratic talent” is comfortable performing in both English and Irish, draws influences from alt-folk, R&B, and traditional sean-nós singing.

Her project THREAD was nominated for Irish language Album and Song of the year at the Gradaim Nós in 2024.

Her recent singles, ‘Burn’ and ‘The Birthing House’, have received airplay on RTÉ Radio 1, Radio Kerry, and Raidió na Life.

Lillie Foley, a 22-year-old singer who recently graduated from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance with a BA in Voice, has released two debut singles in 2025, ‘Someday’ and ‘That’s Life’, which blend pop, soul, and folk genres.

The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

The concert will take place on May 23, at the ANAM Cultural Centre in Killarney, starting at 7:00pm. Tickets are available from €15 plus a booking fee on Ticketpass.org.
