Here at the Kerry Arts Ball, our team are passionate and proud of the vibrant Arts and Culture scene in our beautiful County of Kerry.

We are thrilled to showcase and celebrate these talented performers from diverse backgrounds with our local communities, while providing a valuable fundraising opportunity for such an important local charity, Jigsaw Youth Mental Health.

The Kerry Arts Ball is incredibly proud to partner with Jigsaw Kerry for a second year a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of Kerry’s teenagers and young people. This collaboration is a celebration of both creativity and compassion, underscoring the Ball’s commitment to fostering a brighter future for our youth. Together, we hope to inspire our community to join in this vital cause, raising awareness and support for young people’s mental health across Kerry.

Fred Cooke

Best known for his high-energy mix of musical comedy and sharp observation, Fred is a festival favourite, a regular at London’s Comedy Store and The Stand clubs, and has supported comedy greats like Tommy Tiernan, Ardal O’Hanlon, and Kevin Bridges. Today, he’s firmly established as one of Ireland’s most distinctive and unmissable acts.

With Fred guiding us through the night, alongside stunning performances, a beautiful 3-course dinner, and all the glamour of our black-tie celebration, Kerry Arts Ball 2026 is set to be our best yet—all in support of youth creativity and wellbeing.

O'Neill Sisters

Hailing from County Kerry, The O’Neill Sisters are a celebrated Irish singing trio known for their rich harmonies and international reach. They have performed in major venues including Orchard Hall and the National Concert Hall, appearing for global television audiences and even performing for dignitaries such as Hillary Clinton in New York.
Their viral rendition of the Irish classic “Red is the Rose” drew millions of views worldwide and led to special guest appearances with theatre legend Colm Wilkinson at concerts in St Patrick’s Cathedral. They have collaborated with major artists including Bruno Mars and performed original music at high-profile events such as Vanity Fair’s Oscar party, showcasing a repertoire that spans classical, folk, pop, and Celtic styles in multiple languages.
In recent years they have toured extensively across Europe, starred as lead vocalists with Celtic Steps, and performed at major festivals including Electric Picnic. With a large global following online, they are widely praised — with compliments from Princess Charlene of Monaco and coverage from News of the World — and are regarded as modern ambassadors of Irish music and culture.

Tanya O’Sullivan

Tanya O’ is an Irish-born artist-songwriter with a distinctive 90s RnB/Indie-pop sound, a haunting voice, and deeply moving lyrics that have captured attention across the industry. Her original music has received extensive airplay on Irish radio, including RTÉ Radio 1’s Oliver Callan Show, and has earned praise from Hotpress, IMRO, and U.S. media.

An accomplished singer and pianist, Tanya has performed across Ireland and Canada for over a decade, supporting major acts such as Walking on Cars, JLS, The Riptide Movement, and Britain’s Got Talent winners Twist & Pulse. Over the past year she has been writing and recording an album with internationally acclaimed Pa Sheehy (former Walking on Cars frontman), with exciting new releases on the way.

It’s been a landmark year—her music has reached hundreds of thousands of streams on the Mr Revillz Playlist, and her rendition of Country Roads was chosen as Irish boxer Kevin Cronin’s ring walk song at both the 3Arena and Madison Square Garden in 2025.
