Music royalty visits Irish pub and treats punters to live performance

An Irish country music icon treated local punters to an up close and personal performance while visiting the pub last weekend.

Mick Doyle's Pub in Graignamanagh, Co Kilkenny had a very special guest on Saturday night as country music star, Philomena Begley, performed live.

Begley has entertained audiences for over six decades and is known for performing some of the country's best-loved songs including; Blanket on the Ground, Queen of the Silver Dollar and My Elusive Dreams.

The weekend performance went down a treat in the Kilkenny pub as people from across the town watched the Irish music icon perform live.
