With LTV2’s William Fitzgerald on camera we received an exclusive interview following the truly outstanding presentation of “The Field” on Tuesday, 15th Feb. 2011 – with Mary (wife of John B.) & Billy (son of John B.) Keane and with internationally famous filmstar Brian Dennehy who is so wonderfully proud of his Millstreet roots. Relatives of Brian were also present at the historic evening including Mr. Dennehy from Rathmore and lots of Millstreet people. The superb production continues for two more nights in Killarney (Wednesday and Thursday). Our special interviews will feature on LTV2 in the not-too-distant future. Very special thanks to William Fitzgerald for being so accommodating in recording the feature at short notice.
Update 16/Feb/2011: Seán & co. got a mention in today’s Irish Independent, in an article about Brian Dennehy portrayal of the Bull McCabe in Killarney. “Family and friends of Mr Dennehy, from Millstreet, Co Cork, where his father was born, were also in Killarney last night.”
Congrats to Brian and Mary Keane. Perhaps our ancestors were related… not sure. God Bless. Perry Denehy Ohio, USA
