With moving arrangements of \u2018Danny Boy\u2019 and \u2018Rose of Tralee\u2019 the audience were impressed with the range of vocals from the performers who were rewarded with a generous round of applause.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the energy levels up a notch, the next act on to the stage was Celtic Storm. These captivating and energetic dancers stormed the stage with their brilliantly executed mix of contemporary and traditional Irish dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The rousing music complimented the intricate choreography and brought many audience members to their feet to join in with a dance or two.<\/p>\n<p>Ample breaks provided opportunities for attendees to mingle and catch up.<\/p>\n<p>The evening has set the scene for the fun and friendship that Soroptimists have to come to expect from a federation conference and we eagerly look forward to the rest of conference programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
