Matt Rafter who is an administrator with Music Generation Cork City was thrilled with their performance.

“They split into two groups along with the tutors. They were all dressed in their Christmas jumpers and sang well-known carols. They walked from their primary school to Heather House. They stopped briefly to sing for the grandparents of one of the pupils.
