No stranger to the stage, our MC for the night is Mr. Derek O’ Mahoney. A former champion of “Stars in their Eyes”, Derek is looking forward to hosting Pres Lip Sync 2025 and is excited to introduce all the fantastic acts that we are going to see throughout the night.
Introduce yourself in one sentence:
Hi, I’m Derek O’Mahoney, from Ardfinnan, married to Margaret. We have two kids, Emer and Darren and I’m probably best known for being a GAA Referee.
What is your connection to the Presentation?
My connection to the school is the two ladies in our house are currently in the Presentation. Margaret is a Religion and History teacher and Emer is in 5th Year.
What are you hoping to see from the performers?
I hope they enjoy the experience and give it their all.
If you had to get up and perform a Lip Sync battle yourself, what act or song would you choose and why?
If I had to do a lip sync battle, I’d normally do Elvis but this time it would have to be the Greatest Showman. It’s a great film and we have a Hugh Jackman fan in our house.
