Another Christmas Cracker

Ballydesmond musician/singer Sheila Fitzgerald presents a brand new single and video of the old classic Christmas in Killarney.

The single and video were arranged and produced by Sheila and her partner Mike Sheehan at the couple’s studio in Ballydesmond. Sheila’s cousin Pat Fleming and his cousin Conor Daly added accordion and fiddle, giving the song an authentic Sliabh Luachra traditional arrangement.

The video was filmed at Deenagh Lodge and downtown Killarney and Sheila extended her thanks to Niall Kelleher as well as videographer Ita Fitzgerald and her crew.

Sheila Fitzgerald and Mike Sheehan are veterans of the music scene and are well known throughout Ireland and further afield, and 2023 has added extensively to their resume.

Sheila enjoyed a performance at the Men Of The South exhibition in the Crawford gallery in Cork city, while on march 17th the couple headlined the St. Patrick’s day parade in Mallow. With concerts in churches, choirs, and even Kanturk and Kenmare Marts alongside releasing and recording, the two are unstoppable!

The standout event of the year was an invitation to perform at Áras An Uachtaráin in April for President Higgins and Mrs. Higgins and afterwards to enjoy lunch with the president, Mrs. Higgins and Áras staff.

All of that without even counting the Christmas Party season!

On a final note, Sheila said “we want to wish everybody a happy Christmas and an amazing 2024, thank you all for requesting

our songs on radio stations countrywide and for coming to see us at our gigs, your support is really appreciated”

The video of Christmas in Killarney will be aired on Sky TV on Christmas day on the Hot Country Show, Sky channel 588, free to air channel Faith World TV and Freeview 261 internet TV UK.
