Kill Community Centre

Last week, Glen Flynn entertained a fantastic crowd at Wednesday night dancing. This week Declan Aungier will perform, on Wednesday, June 26, so mark the date in your diary with dancing from 9pm to 11.30pm. There will be complementary tea, coffee and sweet treat, so come and join in the fun.

Last week, Checkers entertained a lively crowd at the centre. Everyone enjoyed the great atmosphere and the next to take to the stage will be Thomas Maguire and Fiona Ennis, on June 30. Social dancing begins at 3pm and finishes at 6pm. 

Gealach Gorm Theatre

Up next in the Gealach Gorm Theatre will be ‘The Parish’, a popular comedy by Hubcap Theatre, which will be performed on Saturday, July 13, at 8pm.

In this hilarious comedy, a scandal shocks the parish. But ultimately, the power of friendship and community prevails. ‘The Parish’ is a hilarious light comedy where two actors bring to life a range of characters found in every rural community. Performed with minimal set and supported by a rich soundscape, the performance will be part of the Comeragh Wilds Festival. Tickets are selling fast so make sure you don’t miss out and bookings are through Powertik https://ie.powertik.com/events/the-parish and no booking fee applies. Alternatively, contact 086 8569358.
