<h3>Fifteen Munster men weren&rsquo;t the only winners when they famously beat South Africa in a rugby match at P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Chaoimh at the weekend &#8211; as a Killarney musician&#8217;s online video went viral with over 250k views!</h3>
<p>Internationally-acclaimed accordion player Liam O&rsquo;Connor, entertained the sell-out crowd at the clash and a video of that performance subsequently went viral on TikTok and Facebook.</p>
<p>In the video he can be seen in the backroom after the match playing the &#8216;Fields of Anthenry&#8217; and the Cranberries &#8216;Zoombie&#8217; and lies down on the floor for the craic while the team shower him with their energy drinks.</p>
<h3>PADDY CASEY</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, the much in-demand musician has announced that Irish multi-platinum album-seller Paddy Casey has been added to the bill for the annual concert at St Brendan&rsquo;s College, Killarney on Thursday, December 1 at 8pm where the bill already includes legendary hurling manager Brian Cody, plus O&rsquo;Connor himself and his family band.</p>
<p>&ldquo;That we can attract musicians of the calibre of Paddy Casey shows how much the St Brendan&rsquo;s show has grown in stature over the years,&#8221; Liam said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Paddy has recently released a new album &#8216;Turn This Ship Around&#8217; and of course fans will also expect him to give us his hits &lsquo;Saints and Sinners&rsquo; and &lsquo;The Lucky One&rsquo;. It&rsquo;s shaping up like some show already!&rdquo;</p>
<p>Tickets for the St Brendan&rsquo;s College concert are available from ticketstop.ie.</p>
