AN incredible and eclectic line-up of entertainment stars has been confirmed for the prestigious Irish Post Music Awards, in association with IMRO and TG4, which will throng the INEC in Killarney on Thursday, June 7.
The Blizzards, Una Healy, Beoga, Phil Coulter, The High Kings, Ryan McMullan and Zali will all take to the stage with TV presenter Síle Seoige on hand to get the party started.
Supported by IMRO, the first ever Irish Post Music Awards take place on June 7 in the INEC Killarney, Co. Kerry.
“We’re known around the world, not just for great music but great storytelling and artistic ability and to be recognised and to get that recognition at an awards ceremony like this is so important,” Síle said.
“Killarney is a great location and the INEC is a great venue. It’s always fun to be involved in big shows and I’m really relishing the thought of it,” she added.
The inaugural Irish Post Awards will feature nine categories, including best country, best folk and best pop and rock acts while a Lifetime Achievement Award will also be revealed. The winners will be picked by a panel of distinguished judges and a public vote.
There will also be awards on offer for the best singer/songwriter, best album and best single as well as an award for outstanding contribution to TV or radio.
Singer-songwriter Malachi Cush will co-present this celebration of Irish music to a packed house in the iconic INEC from the heart of Killarney.
The 90-minute show, commencing at 8.30pm, will also be broadcast live on TG4 and tickets are €29.50.
