Students demonstrate exciting array of talent in ETB Schools’ Talent Show

TWENTY two acts from across the Premier County performed for an excited crowd at Borrisokane Community College for the annual Tipperary ETB Schools’ Talent Show 2026.

Secondary students from the ETB’s 10 post-primary schools got the opportunity to take to the stage on Thursday, March 19th, as well as talented musicians from Music Generation Tipperary and the Music Education course at Tipperary FET (Further Education and Training) College – Clonmel (The Mall).

This time, the event travelled north to Borrisokane Community College where students performed at a specially designed stage in the school’s sports hall. Ella Carey of iRadio, a past student of the school, was MC for the event which has become a wonderful opportunity to showcase the artistic talents of Tipperary’s young people.

Chairperson of Tipperary ETB, Cllr Roger Kennedy, opened the event by saying: “The Tipperary ETB Schools’ Talent Show has become one of the events on the calendar that generates huge excitement for all staff and Board members. It allows for significant collaboration across our entire organisation of education services, including our 10 post-primary schools, Music Generation Tipperary and music students at Tipperary FET College.
