Killarney

<h3>It will be music to students&#8217; ears next month as legendary local musician Liam O&rsquo;Connor plans to perform a special Christmas concert.</h3>
Liam, who recently recorded a new single with Clannad&rsquo;s legendary vocalist Moya Brennan, will take to the stage at St Brendan&rsquo;s College on December 8.
The pair, and their extended families, will perform at St Brendan&rsquo;s as the first leg of a short pre-Christmas tour that also includes dates in Boherbue Church in Cork on December 9 and Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny on December 10.
 The idea behind the mini tour was hatched during their recent appearance on RTE&rsquo;s &lsquo;The Late Late Show&rsquo;.
 It will be the ninth year that Liam and his family have performed at St Brendan&rsquo;s College.
 &ldquo;This all came about at The Late Late Show, the opportunity arose to do something special at Christmas for St Brendan&rsquo;s and raise the spirits there after the last year,&rdquo; Liam told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;We will be joined by musicians from the school. It&rsquo;s a chance to highlight the great work music teachers Mish O&rsquo;Donoghue and Niamh O&rsquo;Connell are doing there too.&rdquo;
 This special Christmas concert is a separate event to Liam&rsquo;s traditional early spring concert at the college and plans are in place to revive that concert next year.
 Liam&rsquo;s current link-up with the Grammy and Emmy award-winning Clannad singer Moya also includes Liam&rsquo;s sons Ois&iacute;n on drums, guitar, keyboards and vocals, Cillian on bodhran and drums, and daughter Saoirse on keyboards, concertina and vocals.
 Legendary hurler Joe Canning will be the guest speaker at the event.
