International pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor has swapped the bright lights of London for the Wild Atlantic Way this week, after she was spotted filming in a pub in south Kerry.
The 46-year-old singer, best known for her 2001 hit Murder on the Dancefloor which recently enjoyed revival thanks to the film Saltburn starring Barry Keoghan, was in Cahersiveen on Monday where she spent the day shooting scenes for a new music video.
Locals looked on as Ellis-Bextor and her crew took over "Mike Murt's Bar" on New Market Street, adding a touch of showbiz glamour to the seaside town.
Speaking to The Kerryman, pub owner Mike Murphy said the singer was “pleasant and down to earth” during her time in the bar.
Afterwards Sophie boarded the ferry to Valencia Island and continued shooting her video onboard.
While details of the video remain under wraps, the appearance of the chart-topper in south Kerry has sparked excitement among locals, with many curious to see how Cahersiveen will feature in her latest release.
