Mary Kennedy<\/a> and her sister Deirdre were among the thousands who attended Dermot Kennedy’s hotly anticipated gig in the Aviva Stadium on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The ladies were proud aunties as they watched their superstar nephew perform his hits, including Power Over Me and Giants, from their seats in the stands. <\/p>\n

The RT\u00c9 presenter revealed Dermot left her speechless during the gig, sharing a snap on social media to say she had ‘no words,’ adding that the show was ‘pure class.’<\/p>\n

‘Two proud aunties,’ Mary gushed as they posed beside Dermot in the pub. ‘You were outstanding.’ The trio beamed as they wrapped their arms around each other. <\/p>\n

Mary took full advantage of the sunny spell, opting to wear an olive green strappy dress for the occasion, while her sister wore a white lace number. <\/p>\n

The women are no strangers to seeing Dermot perform live, as they travelled to Limerick to watch him perform back in 2023. <\/p>\n

Dermot <\/a>has long been close to his RT\u00c9 star aunt, revealing that he often looked to her when trying to navigate newfound fame in the early stages of his career.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not even that she ever sat me down and gave me advice, or told me how to do it,’ he acknowledged, adding, ‘But she leads by example and sets a beautiful example,’ he previously told the Irish Mirror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mary Kennedy and her sister Deirdre were among the thousands who attended Dermot Kennedy’s hotly anticipated gig in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":547961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-547960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
