STUDENTS from
Carndonagh Community School and the Inishowen Gospel
Choir have taken over the television airwaves this
week.
Tomorrow night, the Inishowen Specular Choir, a
sister of the gospel choir, will accompany Duke
Special live on 'The Late, Late Show' where they
will perform ‘Sweet, Sweet Kisses’, from his new
album. |
And on Tuesday last,
four students from Carn Community School – Ryan
McCormick, Gráinne Byrne, Nicole Harley and Adam
Doherty – spoke with Roisín Duffy in an hour-long
RTÉ 1 programme called 'My Generation'. The
programme explored what it’s like to be a teenager
in Inishowen.
'My Generation' was made earlier in the summer when
Duffy and a TV crew accompanied the teenagers as
they went about their daily lives. |

This is the second in
two-part series about teenage life which last week
focused on the lives of Dublin teenagers.
Meanwhile, the local musicians continue their
collaboration tomorrow night with the Belfast-based
Duke Special on Pat Kenny's popular talk show.
“It’s all starting to come together pretty well for
us,” said choir director Kathryn O’Callaghan. The
choir will also perform with Duke Special at album
launches in Dublin and Belfast next Saturday.
Later this month, the choir will perform at the
Belfast Festival at Queens University with artists
including Foy Vance and Bronagh Gallagher. BBC2 TV
will broadcast footage from the choir’s recent
concert at McGrory’s in a festival preview show on
Thursday, October 23. 'The Late, Late Show' starts
at 9.30pm on RTÉ 1 on Friday, October 17. (Inishowen
