A ballad group from Gallen Community School represented Ferbane in the Leinster Scór na nÓg Final held last Sunday in Ballymore Community Centre and brought home the Gold Medals. Following their victory in Wicklow before Christmas in the semi finals the girls have put in many hours of practice under the guidance of Ms Reynolds, music teacher in Gallen CS.
Singing “Through the eyes of an Irishman” and The Mad Lady and me”, the judges praised the excellence of their diction, their harmonies, key changes and their ease on stage in front of a packed audience. We look forward to them representing Offaly in the All Ireland competition in Westport on February 18th.
