Killarney's "piano man" is set to return home this month to put on two shows to get people into the St Patrick's Day spirit.

Jack Patrick Healy will play at the Killarney Grand on Friday and Saturday, March 10 and 11 starting at 11pm - and while he's there he'll launch the summer season at the popular nightspot.

"I am looking forward to returning home for this very special ‘Pre-Paddy’s Piano Party’ at the Grand," Jack, who has been living in London for the last four years, told the Killarney Advertiser.

"It will feature all the piano-bar favourites as well as some brand new songs and one hundred percent Irish hits for the weekend that’s in it. I have a new suit got for the two shows and am very excited to show it off - always proud to be Irish!"

Jack has been running a VIP giveaway on his social media which includes two free entries, welcome cocktails, signed posters and a never before presented tour of his dressing room at the Killarney Grand.

"The winners will have the opportunity to see all of my costumes and see where I get ready to put on the non-stop three hour piano bar show."

A local cafe in Killarney is hosting an event to celebrate cherished sporting memories in Killarney.

The event is taking place in Clann Housing, Coill na Darrach on June 28 and it is part of the wider Alzheimer Society of Irelands sporting memories initiative.

There will be stories, photographs, and memorabilia shared on the day.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is organising a sporting memories initiative which aims to harness the power of sport to spark memories and create connections with people living with dementia.

John Don O’Donoghue, who is a joint organiser of the event, is emphasising the importance of events like these for those who suffer with dementia.

He said: “They offer people, especially older adults and those living with dementia, a meaningful way to reconnect – not just with their memories, but with each other. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone’s face lights up remembering a match, a goal, or a moment they thought was long forgotten.”

All members of the community are welcome to attend and take part. The event is free and guests are encouraged to bring their own photos, memorabilia and stories to share.

For more information, please contact: Triona Heffernan or John Don O’ Donoghue Email: soccermemoriescafe@gmail.com
