How excited we all were (pupils and teachers alike) when an Muinteoir Chambers arranged for Danny O’Reilly of The Coronas to come to perform for us in the school. The Coronas concert in the O2 before Christmas sold out and here he was agreeing to come to sing for us! Danny speaks Gaeilge (having studied Irish in UCD alongside an Múinteoir Ní Mhuirgheasa!) and he opened our concert with an Irish language version of The Coronas hit single ‘Heroes and Ghosts’. Danny was great with the pupils, answering all of their questions and he told them that he was more nervous singing for them than he was when he was performing for thousands in the O2! Not only is he a wonderfully accomplished singer, songwriter & musician whose musical pedigree (Danny is the son of Mary Black) is obvious but he was also extremely gracious and humble. 8 March 2013

Nach muide a bhí ar bís (daltai & múinteoirí araon!) nuair a d’eagraigh an Múinteoir Chambers go dtiocadh Danny Ó Raghallaigh ó na Coronas isteach chun na scoile le canadh dúinn. Díoladh amach na ticéadaí ar fad do cheolchoirm na Coronas roimh Nollaig san O2 i mBÁC agus bhí sé ag teacht le canadh dúinne inár scoil! Tá Gaeilge ag Danny (rinne sé Gaeilge sa Choláiste—leis an Múinteoir Ní Mhuirgheasa) agus chan sé leagann Gaeilge den amhrán ‘Heroes and Ghosts’ le tús a chur leis an gceolchoirm. Bhí sé go hálainn ar fad leis na daltaí agus dúirt sé go raibh sé níos neirbhísigh ag canadh dóibh siúd ná mar a bhí sé nuair a bhí sé ag canadh san O2! Amhránaí & ceoltóir den scoth is ea é agus bua & traidisiún ceoil a mhuintir go smiorr ann (mac is ea é le Mary Black) agus é uasal, umhal lena hais sin. 8 Márta 2013
