Great night at Eileen’s surprise celebration

Eileen Shortt got a huge surprise on Saturday night when she walked into Kerins O’Rahillys Clubhouse –all her family, extended family and friends were there to mark her special birthday.

She really got a shock as it was totally unexpected but she wasn’t long getting into the spirit of the evening and she had a great time. It took her a while to realise how many people had turned up but she was in her element and had loads of fun.

Eileen was married to the late Brendan Shortt, a well known musician who played with the Jazz group in town and with bands such as The Vanguard Six. Brendan passed away 15 years ago. Their son, Chris Shortt, follows in his father’s footsteps and is also a musician.
