St Joseph’s GAA Social Initiative a Major Success

The success of lasts night's (September 18th )visit to Trad on the Prom in the Galway Bay Hotel is the talk of Kilteevan this morning. GAA Social Initiative event was organised by Saint Joseph’s club.

A group of 40 people travelled in comfort on the Club Rossie coach, ably navigated by Club Rossie volunteer driver Padraig Healy.

In his introduction Chris Kelly, Producer of the show gave a hearty Céad Míle Fáilte to the packed audience from all over the world.  He singled out the St Joseph’s Club contingent and referred to his Kilteevan connections.

Trad on the Prom celebrates the passion of Ireland’s past with a modern production of world class music, song and dance. The talent of each performer on stage was unquestionable.  In the intimate venue we saw dancers leaping, fiddle bows flying, nimble fingers playing with soul and songs delivered with such passion, tears were close.  The show was so full of versatility, energy and brilliance it is too difficult to a single out a highlight of the evening.  It was all quite simply electrifying.The Kilteevan group was captivated from start to finish at Trad on the Prom.

A very poignant moment of the show for us, was when Chris Kelly dedicated his magnificent rendition of Sean O Riada’s Míse Eire, to the memory of his uncle, the late John Mooney, Doogarymore, Kilteevan.

All in all, it was an unforgettable night’s entertainment for us in the City of the Tribes.

Thanks to Club Rossie, Padraig Healy and to Saint Joseph’s for giving all of us this wonderful opportunity.  It was a fitting event as part of the celebrations of 125^th anniversary to St Joseph’s Club, Kilteevan.
