The show must go online for the 2021 Kerry Wedding Show!

Published

Organisers of the annual Kerry Wedding Show are not going to let lockdown stop them from bringing wedding suppliers and couples together, safely, and have instead planned to go virtual for the very first time this Sunday.

The award winning Kerry Wedding Show will be hosted online for the first time as Radio Kerry and The Wedding Wizard have come together to create the virtual version of the event at a time when holding public events is not permitted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Event planners, wedding suppliers and couples face challenges due to ongoing Government safety restrictions.

“By offering the opportunity to move the Kerry Wedding Show online we are doing what we can to facilitate a safe environment to bring suppliers and couples together so that the business of planning can continue,” organiser Melanie O'Sullivan said.

The event will take place on its originally planned date of this Sunday, January 24, but instead of its usual location of the INEC, Killarney it will be an online exhibition featuring over 40 wedding exhibitors, panel discussions, a fun speed-networking session and an innovative Bridal Fashion Showcase. There will be special offers, discounts and prizes to be won on the day.

Couples can book online to attend the show free of charge, on www.radiokerry.ie/kerryweddingshowtickets. More details on the show, exhibitors, prizes and what to expect on the day are available on Facebook and Instagram: Kerry Wedding Show.

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.
