Strictly Come Dancing Hits Abbeyfeale

You may have seen the signs at the crossroads – it’s all happening in the Devon Inn on Sunday, May 8th. with doors opening 6.30pm.
A selection of the best movers in Tournafulla, Duagh, Mountcollins, Abbeyfeale and surrounding areas have come together under the umbrella of Fealeside Strictly Come Dancing – according to Marian Harnett.
They’re doing so with the intention of raising funds to support their local community and have been rehearsing everything from sambas and tangos to rock and roll.
The floor in the Devon will be electric with dance moves never before seen, style to beat the band and that’s only on the men.
