THE wind howled and the rain pelted down outside, as the launch of a ‘Strictly’ with a difference took place last night.
But it’ll be the contestants that’ll be brewing up a storm on the dance floor of the Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Saturday, February 8, at a special Mr & Mrs Strictly Come Dancing organised by Tralee Musical Society.
Married couples from all over town and beyond will take part in what promises to be a fantastic night of entertainment and the first event of its kind in Kerry, as there’ll also be a ‘Mr & Mrs’ quiz element to the night.

The couples will be put through their paces by four choreographers — Oliver Hurley, Honor Hurley, Jackie O’Mahoney and Tara Dore.
The event is being held to help fund Tralee Musical Society’s next production of ‘Ghost – The Musical’, adapted from the hit 1990 romantic fantasy thriller film, in April 2020.
The couples confirmed to take part in the ‘Strictly’ night so far are Sam and Annie Locke, Paul and Aileen Riordan, JJ and Jill Coffey, Declan and Ann Smith, Maureen and Derry Fleming, Ken and Emer Tobin, Martin and Melissa Nix, Eugene and Susan Farrelly and Claire and Christopher McDonald.
Doors open at 7pm with the show at 8pm. The evening will be followed by a DJ till late.
