The Mayor’s Gala Concert, in aid of St Vincent de Paul, will take place in the Watergate Theatre tonight (Friday ) at 8pm.
A host of local talent will take to the stage including Kilkenny Musical Society, Jesters Stage Academy, The Kilkenny’s, Kilkenny Gospel Choir, Tony and Anthony Coy, St Patrick’s Brass and Reed Band, and the Rafter Family.
This will be an enjoyable evening of entertainment for all the family.
The concert has been organised on a voluntary basis in conjunction with the St Vincent de Paul charity. It is hoped that the event will raise much-needed funds to assist the Kilkenny branch of the charity.
The event was launched at City Hall in November, with 11 of Kilkenny’s former mayors in attendance. St Vincent de Paul representatives were also invited to the council chamber.
Tickets for the night will cost €15, with a €10 concession ticket available for OAPs. Tickets are available from the box office, contact 056-7761674.
Meanwhile the launch of Kilkenny’s Christmas Fair which includes a festive carousal on the Parade will also take place this afternoon (Friday ) at 4.30pm. All are welcome.
