‘An Evening of Fashion, Style & Entertainment’ April 8th in Knockanore, Co. Waterford.

KGK hall in Knockanore, Co. Waterford will see a style extravaganza like never before on Friday, April 8th at 8pm.

This night will be brought to you by our own well-known, Paula Goulding.
Paula from Riverdance fame, ‘Dancing Thru’ The Ages’, RTE’s Celebrity Jigs n’ Reels and now Colour & Style expert with RTE is hosting this unique night in aid of KGK Hall and Leukaemia.

The evening is not quite a fashion show but a fashion event with a twist. There will be style sections where Paula will be explaining about different body-types, key tips and advice for dressing for your shape. Colours to suit and demonstrations on how dressing in your correct colours and styles can make such a difference.
“I want this night to be more informative for the audience so that by sitting back and enjoying the evening they can also pick up some really helpful tips.”

The entertainment line-up for the night makes the evening a coveted one. Vocalist Caroline Fraher will be lending her talents. British and All Ireland dance champions from the ‘On Your Toes Academy’, Clonmel will most certainly be a crowd pleaser. There will be excerpts from the hit show, ‘Dancing Thru The Ages’. To top it off the compere for the event is Gerard Byrne; aka Malachy from ‘Fair City’ and that’s just a flavour!

“When I called people about being involved in the night the response was overwhelming and so reassuring. We have such a good value system in this country and in our area. People are so supportive and helpful, it’s really been a joy organizing this event. I am so excited about our entertainment, the audience will be kept on their toes! I am also over the moon to have Gerard as our compere!”

 

The money raised from the night is going to KGK Hall and Leukaemia (Friends-of-Leukaemia-Patients, Cork).
“Unfortunately our family suffered loss recently to leukaemia so that among the obvious reasons of every charity being deserving is why I chose to raise much needed funds for leukaemia.
Also to give back to my community. They are so dedicated and have done absolute trojan work for our parish. The facility that we can now boast about, the KGK Hall is a testament to the Committee and community that put blood, sweat and tears into getting it from a dream to a reality.”

There will be top boutiques showcasing such as;  Sheenas – Dungarvan, Signet – Dungarvan, Touch of Class – Youghal, Bijou Bridal – Tramore and more from the surrounding areas.
This has all the makings of a spectacular night and something a little different.
“I think the night will be a real treat for the audience.”

‘A Unique Evening of Fashion, Style & Entertainment’ is on April 8th at 8pm in KGK Community Hall, Knockanore, Co. Waterford.
Tickets €15

Pat Shortt played to a full  house last Friday night, November 26th at The Mall Arts Centre in Youghal.

On the last night of his recent tour “The Hall”, Pat played to a full and happy house ! Set in the community hall of a small rural town, The Hall features an array of madcap characters brought to life in Pat Shortt’s inimitable style. With the headlining act missing, Drama Group chairman, local shopkeeper and would-be comedian, Mossie Whelan enters the spotlight, with a bottle of wine to give him courage. Just when it looks like the night will be a complete disaster, all is saved by the arrival of singing sensation, Dixie Walsh. Fresh from a tour of the entire diocese on the back of his hit single The Jumbo Breakfast Roll, the ever popular Dixie gets the crowd going with his follow up hit single, Where Did My Money Go? A great night’s entertainment was had by all, young and old,  in Youghal at The Mall Arts Centre.

Tickets are now on sale at Cree’s Card Shop on the North Main Street, Youghal (024 93899) for Pat Shortt’s show, Pat Shortt in The Hall on Friday, November 26th at The Mall Arts Centre, Youghal at 8pm.  Ticket price €30.

Following the phenomenal success of You Won’t Get Away With that Here, Pat Shortt returns with his hilarious new live show The Hall. Set in the community hall of a small rural town, The Hall features an array of madcap characters brought to life in Pat Shortt’s inimitable style.

When the local drama group stage a gala fundraising concert to raise money for their latest production, things don’t quite go to plan, with hilarious consequences. Gerry, the hall caretaker is shocked to find the hall full of punters hours before he was due to open and sets about taking control while recounting the glory days of The Hall and the past exploits of the drama group.

With the headlining act missing, Drama Group chairman, local shopkeeper and would-be comedian, Mossie Whelan enters the spotlight, with a bottle of wine to give him courage.

Against the odds, the drama group make it to the stage with In The Shadow Of The Well Of The Sorrows, a comedy/drama/tragedy/melodrama, which spills over into the audience in some rather surprising ways.

Just when it looks like the night will be a complete disaster, all is saved by the arrival of singing sensation, Dixie Walsh. Fresh from a tour of the entire diocese on the back of his hit single The Jumbo Breakfast Roll, the ever popular Dixie gets the crowd going with his follow up hit single, Where Did My Money Go?

Fresh from the set of his new series for RTE, ‘Mattie’, IFTA and Evening Standard award winner Pat Shortt is looking forward to getting back in front of a live audience.
