High Kings’ recruit serves up a royal treat

LATE LATE SHOW sensation, West Limerick schoolboy Adam O’Sullivan, has the potential to out factor the X-Factor.

The eight-year-old, who is undergoing treatment for a benign brain tumour, became an overnight national star on Friday night last after he belted out Whiskey in the Jar with the High Kings to the delight of Ryan Tubridy and his audience who gave him a standing ovation.

Adam, who comes from Ballaugh, Abbeyfeale, has recorded a CD with the High Kings. It has gone to number six on the download charts and will go on sale next weekend. Dunnes Stores and other major outlets have already agreed to stock it.
