The Kerry County Board of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Eireann held an evening of music, song and dance in Fossa recently.

Musicians of all ages entertained a packed house in the Innisfallen Hotel, which included a visit from the Beaufort Biddy Group and students from ‘The Sem’, famous for their impromptu session on board a Ryanair flight from Stansted to Kerry in January.

“It was great to see so much young talent in one place,” Tim Kissane, Fossa/Two Mile chairperson said. “The Boys from ‘The Sem’ made a special guest appearance and gave a rousing rendition of Caledonia.

Fear an Tí, Mick Myers did a fantastic job on the night, making sure that everyone got a chance to perform, he added.

“There was set dancing, step dancing and Sean Nós dancing. We had singers and storytellers that came from far and wide. The committee would like to thank everyone who participated or helped in any way on the night. Special mention to Mike Jack Cronin who played great music and supported those performing, the staff of the Innisfallen Hotelfor accommodating such a large crowd, and to all who supported the raffle.”
