Jake Carter entertains Killarney Community College in some style
ON FRIDAY afternoon the pupils of Killarney Community College had a surprise visit from songster Jake Carter and they celebrated in style.
“It was such a unique opportunity having a hugely popular live artist perform at out school,” Music Teacher Joanna Hughes said, adding how she had received the call and was delighted that Killarney Community College was chosen to host the event.
Jake Carter is the younger brother of chart topping artist Nathan Carter who is a currently the hottest country music star in Ireland. Jake has often performed at his brother’s gigs and festivals and has been a great hit with the fans. Aged just 18, Jake has been gigging relentlessly in the UK and Ireland as a ‘one man’ artist playing in clubs, restaurants, concerts and private events.
He is currently promoting his new single ‘Havin a Party’ and he performs in an all ages gig in the acoustic club in the INEC on Saturday Night September 23.
“With the huge uptake of music in the college in the past few years, an experience like this will benefit our music students in their own practi- cal assessment for both Junior and Leaving Certificate,” Ms Hughes said.
On a Friday evening after an excellent week of Junior Cert Results celebrated in the college, it was a show stopping event that certainly sent the students home with a smile.
