PIC SPECIAL: Hundreds of people were treated to a night of unbelievable entertainment on Saturday night when Letterkenny Musical Society hosted a Strictly Come Dancing fundraiser in the Clanree Hotel.
The Musical Society - who have been going for 35 years - are currently preparing to put on the musical blockbuster Jesus Christ Superstar in An Grianán Theatre in March and Saturday night’s fundraiser will help them cover the huge costs of putting on such a spectacular production.
In total, eleven couples took to the floor in front of a wildly enthusiastic audience and a judging panel of Sir Gerry Robinson, Billy Patterson of Letterkenny Musical Society and TV3s Ciara Doherty who got into the spirit of the night when they emerged wearing masks of three of the BBC Strictly judges.
The standard of dancing on the night was particularly impressive making it a difficult night’s work for the judges, but in the end a dramatic performance from Donna Sterritt and Declan McFadden was enough to secure the award for the Judges’ Winners.
Audience members also got to have their say as well though and Fiona Gallagher and Vincent McNamee scooped that award to a rapturous response from the delighted crowd.
The group finished the night with a stunning group dance - their second of the night - before the fun continued into the night with a fabulous disco with DJ Orson Sterritt of North West Entertainment.
