Online music show to follow Mount Temple lights event

Mount Temple Christmas Lights committee is once again organising an online entertainment show in conjunction with the switching on of this year’s lights in the village. The show will be kindly hosted again live from the United States by New York based singer Padraig Allen who hails from the Mount Temple area.

A feature of the show this year will be top class performances by some amazing local artists sitting around the fireside at Egan’s Pub. Event organiser Tom Daly said: “We were amazed by the response to our show last year with nearly 30,000 views so we decided to do similar this year.”

Cllr Frankie Keena thanked the marvellous crew of volunteers who kindly give of their time every year to erect the lights throughout the village under the direction from Tom Daly.

"It is fantastic to have Padraig Allen on board again with us from New York as his McClean Avenue Band provides a valuable link to our diaspora," he added.

The switch on of the Christmas Lighting Display takes place in Mount Temple village on Sunday, November 28, at 5.30pm with the online show going live at 7pm. A great night’s entertainment is promised. Enjoy and stay safe.
