Killarney’s rising indie folk/rock musician, Shane Doolan, will perform a special Movember benefit concert at the ANAM Killarney Cultural Centre on November 29.

The concert is scheduled just one week after the release of Doolan’s highly anticipated second single, After The Bells, which drops on November 21.

Attendees on November 29 will be among the first to hear the new track performed live, alongside favourites from his expanding catalogue.

The intimate evening sees Doolan return to the venue where his band previously won the Battle of the Bands competition earlier this year.

His sound blends the grit of folk rock with the intimacy of indie folk, featuring emotional, reflective, and raw storytelling.

Doolan cites influences such as Walking on Cars, Bon Iver, Kingfishr, and Kodaline.

The young musician continues to build momentum following his September 2024 debut, The Ruins.

He has more music planned with a debut EP set for January 2026.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards supporting Movember’s vital work in men’s health awareness.

The concert begins at 7.30 pm at the ANAM Cultural Centre. Tickets are priced at €5 and can be booked on the door.

A Killarney-made whiskey is offering businesses and individuals a new personalised gift option in time for the Christmas season.

Maurice and Francesca O’Connell, the husband-and-wife team behind The Liberator Irish Whiskey range, have been producing their award-winning spirits in Fossa since 2018.

The brand is named after Maurice’s ancestor Daniel O’Connell, The Liberator, whose 250th anniversary was marked this year.

The Liberator range has built a strong reputation for quality, with many of the whiskeys finished in fresh Port casks — a style the producers describe as giving a “Christmas in a glass” character.

This year, the distillers are offering personalised labels for corporate or group gifts, with a minimum order of 12 bottles.

Labels can feature a company name, logo or message.

For those looking for smaller quantities, The Liberator whiskeys are available in hampers through Der O’Sullivan’s The Mall, Castle Off Licence in Tralee, and Killarney Carryout Off Licences.

Enquiries about personalised orders can be made by contacting Maurice O’Connell at specials@waywardirish.com
