My week with Celia Holman Lee: Hair-raising fun at awards night for Limerick participants
I HADN’T been in Newcastle West in a while, as it is on the other side of Limerick from where I live, but thankfully I had the opportunity to visit the Longcourt House Hotel in the wonderfully scenic west Limerick town.
It was an utter joy to attend the Brian Cunningham Hair, Beauty and Style Awards last week. I was enormously impressed and proud to welcome the awards to my home county of Limerick.
From salons and boutiques, to freelancers and wedding dresses, the awards aim to showcase the very best Irish influencers and all those who contribute greatly to the beauty and fashion industry.
I was delighted to be in attendance on the night, with my long-time colleague and friend Brendan Courtney hosting the event. We had so much fun and enjoyed a wonderful evening.
Some others who attended included various actors, such as Mikey North, better known for his character Gary Windass in Coronation Street, as well as his colleague in the soap Antony Cotton, better known by his character Sean Tully, the world-class makeup artist/influencer Derek Carberry and TV presenter and personality, the wonderfully stylish Glenda Gilson.
I want to take this opportunity to give a huge thank you to Brian Cunningham and all of his team at the Management. We had a gorgeous evening, and the sun even came out and stayed out which put a spring into all of our steps and sprinkled off the night just right.
A celebration of all things beauty and style related have my heart, and it was with great pride that I attended, having not travelled very far at all. It was so lovely to see many local Limerick businesses nominated and join the fun. Congratulations to all winners and workers in the background that make the magic happen! All very deserving winners.
Yours truly,
