STARS IN OUR BARS

April 20th, 2011 by The Ragg

FRIDAY 20th MAY, THE FUNCTION ROOMS IN THE RAGG

The Regional Final was held here last night and was a huge success. The talent was amazing and the adjudicators, Derek from Crystal Swing & Emma O’Driscoll from RTE, had a very hard job in deciding the winners. Finally, Shane Slattery & Gavin Strappe, The Bothran & Banjo Dynamic Duo, representing The Village Inn, Moyglass,  deservedly won first prize with a cheque of €1,000. The group, ‘The Beard of Zeus, representing Tess Bourkes in Borrisokane came a great second receiving €500 and our very own Debbie Gleeson came a very deserved third place getting €250. Well done Debbie, you did us proud. A very special thank you to all the contestants and their followers who created a great atmosphere and made the night a great success for everybody attending it. Commiserations to all the other acts  who entertained us well.

Gavin & Niall & The Beard of Zeus will now go forward to the All Ireland Final in The Heritage Hotel in Portlaoise on Friday 17th June & we wish them them the very best.

After another successful run this year and with an excellent organising committee now in place, we look forward already to next year’s contest.

 

We are delighted to be able to tell you that Gavin & Niall came second in the All Ireland Final held in Portlaoise last night.

 

Congratulations and best wishes to the Lads, they well deserved it!
