Have you got the XFactor? Christmas in Killarney - Xmas Factor Karaoke Competition

17 November 2009

Ever stayed in on a Saturday night watching the XFactor and wishing you were part of it? Christmas in Killarney is giving you a chance to create your very own "Jedward" phenomenon, by bringing back their popular Xmas Factor Karaoke Competition!

In association with Budweiser, the first heat will take place on Friday December 4th at 9pm in Failte Bar, College St, with the second heat taking place on December 6th, Foley's Bar, New St. The last heat before the final will take place on December 11th at Mustangs Bar on Main Street. Mc Sorley's on College St will hold the final on December 13th.

We are also pleased to announce the return of Kerry's very own Simon Cowell.  The usual "kind and gentle" Niall "Botty" O'Callaghan will, for one month only, forget the "nice guy" image and morph into Simon Cowell - complete with high-waisted trousers as he becomes a judge for the exciting and fun Competition.

If you think you have what it takes to go up in front of Botty and his fellow judges, Clodagh Irwin-Owens, Michelle O'Callaghan & a surprise guest, then you should log on to www.christmasinkillarney.com for an official entry form. You can also drop Into Foley's Bar on New St and pick one up. For further information, call 087 6765064.

Entry is free and entrants must be 18 or over, with a cash prize for first place, which would come in very handy during the run up to Christmas. There are also lots of runner up prizes to brave contestants willing to display their singing talents!!

In the coming weeks more new and exciting events and activities will be announced.  Up to the minute information can be found on www.christmasinkillarney.com.
