END OF  YEAR  CONCERT:

 

Susie's guitar classes put on a great show in the community centre last Tuesday evening.   The parents can be 

very proud of their children, what an array of upcoming talent we have !    As well as learning the guitar, they get the 

opportunity to play the Bongos, the Jimba ( African drum), Electric guitars and sing the songs also. 

First on stage were the beginners, who have only been playing since last September and gave a great performance:-

Norina Broderick, Olivia Bennett, Shauna Cagney, Jack Cagney, Leanne Herlihy, Brendan Lynch, Rhianne Martin,

David O'Connell and Cathal O'Keeffe.     Shauna sang ' Lean on Me' , Norina and Rhianne sang ' Stuck in the

Middle', followed by Olivia singing ' Mamma Mia', with their class backing them.     To finish off Jack and Cathal played

and sang  ' I can be your Hero '.

The Intermediate class took to the stage next :-    Thea Broderick, Jackie Chawke, Hanora Condon, Steven Hickey,

Christine Lynch, Jennifer Noonan, Eoin O'Connell, Eimhin O'Regan and Patrick Shelton. 

The group began with ' I'm Yours' .   Thea and Steven sang  ' Boulevard of Broken Dreams'   followed by Steven on his own

singing  ' Wonderwall ' . Cathal and Patrick sang and played Greenday's ~ ' The Time of Your Life '.   Then we had the girls,

Christine, Jennifer and Jackie singing and playing the Counting Crows song ~ ' Accidently in Love ' and Jennifer finished off

with that lovely song ' The Climb '.   

Next Lauren Clancy sang and played  beautifully, the Mary Black song ~ ' Bright Blue Rose ' .

Finally we had the Senior group :-   Lauren Clancy, Alan Chawke, James Donegan, Tara Enright, Claire Enright, Katie Ford,

Laura Kelly, Grainne Noonan and Isabelle O'Mara. 

They began with ' Dancing in the Moonlight '  and  ' Moondance '.    The trio of Isabelle, Lauren and Alan sang ' Broken Strings ' 

followed by  Laura, Claire and Tara singing Taylor Swift's ~ ' Love Story '.  

To finish off, the three classes got together for the grand finale ' I'll be there for You '  from Friends.

Congratulations and well done to everyone, keep up the practicing, it is really paying off.
