Irish Country Music Festival

Kerry fans of Irish Country Music are in for a treat when the twice yearly Irish Country Music festival returns to the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney. Playing from the 15th to the 19th of April and featuring the cream of Irish County, the festival has become one of the most popular events in the country calendar.

Building on the successes of previous years the Irish Country Music Festival is bringing a host of performers to Killarney for a week long country music extravaganza.

First up this year is the young Gary Gamble, who hails from Donegal and first came to fame as a Daniel O Donnell impersonator. Gary, who plays on the 15th of April, is sure to become a favorite on the Irish Country Music scene thanks to his bright and bubbly personality.

Next up is Thomas Maquire, who plays on the 16th of April, followed by Shawn Cuddy on the 17th with Mike Denver playing on Wednesday the 18th of April.

The Festival closes with a bang with Irish Country music favorite Robert Mizzell playing on Thursday night. Robert who hails originally from Shreveport in Louisians, but currently lives in Mullingar, is on the books of Willy Carty, the man behind such bands as The Conquers and The Showband Band.

Robert has achieved a huge support, often attracting capacity crowds to his sell-out shows that are dedicated to pure county music, often featuring songs by legend Johnny Cash.

Tickets are available on the door.  For more info please call the Gleneagle Hotel at 064 36 000 or log onto www.gleneaglehotel.com
