Tune up for bank holiday busking at Market Cross

K
KILLARNEY’S Market Cross is always alive with the sound of music at this time of year but especially every August bank holiday Monday when a charity busking bonanza draws the crowds.
Some 28 years ago a generous troupe of local musicians decided to strike up at the town centre location for charity and so began a tuneful tradition. “They were looking to try and help fundraise for the South Kerry branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland and the senior citizens of Killarney,” said organiser Ray O’Callaghan, of MS South Kerry.
“It grew year on year and it has raised thousands for both these worthwhile causes and makes the lives of our members and their families a bit easier.”
This coming bank holiday Monday, August 1, the annual charity busking event will unfold from 11am to 6pm. “Local musicians are giving up their free time for the day in aid of MS South Kerry and Senior Citizens Killarney,” said Ray. “Please join us for fun-filled day of music and song.”
