The Irish Sopranos are excited to support Il Divo

It’s going to be an exciting night for Wendy Dwyer, Kay Lynch and Deirdre Masterson when they appear at Musgrave Park on Saturday as support act to international superstars Il Divo. Ballincollig woman Wendy Dwyer can hardly wait. "We’ve never met them so this is going to be quite an evening."

Not that the Irish Sopranos are themselves strangers to big occasions. They’ve filled Carnegie Hall on more than one occasion, and have a fervent following worldwide. With that mix of sensational voices and spectacular looks, it’s not surprising.

They’ve been together now for over a decade. “Kay and myself met up when we were performing at Bunratty and Deirdre was a close friend of Kay’s, so they thought it would be great to work as a group,” explains Dwyer. “At that time I was finishing my Masters in Dublin, and couldn’t commit, but later that year, when I’d completed my studies they persuaded me to give it a go.”
