Supertalent 2011 kicked off last weekend with singing, dancing, the playing of instruments, comedy and excellent performances at the East and South regional finals. Hundreds of No Name Club hosts and hostesses assembled in Baltinglass, Co Wicklow on Saturday March 12th and in Fermoy, County Cork on Sunday March 13th for the finals. Both events were very succesful, with teenagers and adults entertained by the high level of entry from those involved. Judges at both venues had a very difficult task in choosing the winners from the ten categories they had to choose from and well done to all who participated for the time and preparation they put into their entry. Pictures from the events can be viewed below and via the gallery page.
