Dungarvan youth shine at national Talent Show

Young people from Dungarvan impresses judges at a national talent show recently with their impressive performances. 

The spotlight shone on some of Ireland’s brightest young performers as No Name’s Got Talent 2025 took to the stage on Saturday, April 26, at the Dean Crowe Theatre in Athlone.

Young people from clubs across the country came together for an unforgettable evening of music, dance, comedy and more.

No Name Club, a national, voluntary youth organisation, provides young people with a space to socialise in a fun, safe, and alcohol-free environment.

The clubs play a vital role in helping teenagers build confidence and social skills, while avoiding the risks associated with peer pressure.

The annual talent show is one of the No Name Club’s biggest and most anticipated events and this year was no exception.

Two overall winners on the night were No Name Club Dungarvan, for their impressive group dance to ‘Disturbia’, and Isis Kindratowicz from No Name Club Hollywood, for her beautiful rendition of ‘If Only’.

Kasia Swiderczuk also from No Name Club Dungarvan was awarded the first-place Gallery Award for her mixed media piece.

The judges described the Dungarvan group's dance as ‘sublime’, saying they had outdone themselves. Their team work was also praised.

Judges praised both the variety and the standard of talent on display, and all participating clubs were recognised with trophies and awards.

Speaking about the competition, Dr. Garrett Keenaghan, Chairperson, No Name Club said: “It’s so heartening to see the talent on show from our young people.

"The level of effort, organisation and team work that we’ve seen here is just fantastic."
