Duo triumph at Stars in Their Eyes event

11 November 2015

AUGHLISNAFIN GAC staged a ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ fundraiser in The Lodge, Castlewellan, on Saturday night.

It was an unprecedented success with a wide variety of acts and exceptional performances from everyone.

The public vote winners were the father-and-daughter double act of Gerry Flanagan and Angela McKeown performing as June Carter and Johnny Cash with their superb rendition of Jackson.

The judges’ choice was the riotously funny Queen tribute act of Niall Lennon, Marty Malone and Rory Murphy, who performed the classic, I Want to Break Free, in drag as in the original Queen video. 

The club wishes to thank everyone who helped out with the production, including the compere for the night, Maurice Walsh, Simon Walsh of Island Events, the judges, all the ‘stars’, the staff, the businesses who put up the prizes for the raffle and, last but not least, those who came to watch a spectacle they will never forget for a long time.

A DVD was made on the night and will be available soon.
