All Ireland Talent Show heads East
Friday 25 September 2009
The show's presenter said: "I'm really looking forward to heading to Kilkenny this weekend. It's the last round of auditions and I can't wait to see what the East has to offer.
"Don't forget there's €50,000 up for grabs so if you can raise a smile or make people stop in their tracks to look or listen, then we want to see you!"
Speaking about last week's auditions in the West, she said: "The auditions in Galway saw a huge turn out of traditional Irish music acts and Sean-Nós dancing.
"There were also quite a few 'family acts' at the last round of auditions with fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, showing up to strut their stuff.
"The West also proved to be quite a hub for magicians - there were several mind boggling acts hoping they could pull the rabbit out of the hat and make it through to the next round."
The auditions tomorrow, Saturday 26 September, take place in the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel on Ormonde Street. This round of auditions is aimed at applicants from Counties Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. Registration for auditions begins at 7am and closes at 3pm.
