Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>It&#8217;s hard to believe that it&#8217;s been three years since The Grand&#8217;s popular piano man played there &#8211; but punters won&#8217;t have to wait too long more as Jack&#8217;s back this summer.</h3>
Jack Patrick Healy, who now lives in London, is returning for three very special performances this July 8, 9 and 10.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been over three years since I last played at The Grand,&#8221; Jack told the Killarney Advertiser this week. &#8220;Back then of course it was &#8216;The Liquid Lounge&#8217;, now recently retitled &#8216;The Grand Piano Bar&#8217;. Shows start at 11pm and will go on until I can&#8217;t sing any longer!&#8221;
The shows will coincide with the one year anniversary of the passing of Jack&#8217;s little brother Thomas.
&#8220;To mark the occasion, I have one very sentimental request to ask of the audience &#8211; please wear blue. That could be a dress, a shirt, a tie, their shoes or better still even a football jersey &#8211; but if it ain&#8217;t blue, it won&#8217;t do! The show will feature all the hits from when I used to play in Killarney, but after spending three years in London I have some new tricks up my sleeve to bring from the big smoke to the home town. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing everyone again, laughing and of course shedding a few tears, naturally.&#8221;
He has also just finished writing and producing his latest song &#8216;Forever Fourteen&#8217; which is dedicated to Thomas.
&#8220;I will be releasing this later in the year but will be giving a very special performance on the nights.&#8221;

Jack's back - for three nights only!
