WHILE the big prizes eluded most Tralee nominees at the the Association of Irish Musical Societies (AIMS) Awards on Saturday night, there was still much to cheer about.
The INEC was the venue as over 1,200 members waited with baited breath for the winners to be announced.
One of these winners was Aishling O’Carroll of the Light Opera Society, Tralee winner of the ‘Best Female Singer Sullivan Section’ for her performance of ‘Cinderalla in Into The Woods’.
She was delighted to accept her award on stage, but she wasn’t the only Tralee winner.

Unfortunately, there was no luck for the other Tralee Musical Society nominees for their work on Sister Act’, namely Oliver Hurley (Best Director) and Jackie O’Mahony (Best Comedienne) and in their Best Chorus and Best Overall Show nominations.
It didn’t stop the large Tralee contingent present from having a great time though, as they always do at the AIMS.
