THE Lee Strand Annual Social was celebrated a little different this year, instead of gathering in Ballygarry House Hotel in Tralee everyone tuned into Radio Kerry on Saturday night.

The theme was to celebrate together while being apart on a special celebratory virtual social hosted by Alan Finn from 8-9pm.

The response to the broadcast was beyond everyone’s expectations and the programmed was extended for an extra hour until 10pm due to popular demand.

The combination of Alan Finn’s tunes which had everyone in the Kingdom dancing around their kitchens, lots of listeners’ requests, interviews and giveaways made the Lee Strand Annual Social 2021 a memorable social occasion to be remembered for years to come.
