LOUD AND PROUD!

MORE than 2,600 children from 53 primary schoools across the county were the stars of a music-filled show at the National Opera House last week, in a fast-paced series of shows that had the audience singing out loud as well.

The Sing Out Loud show was back for its fourth consecutive year, bringing together some very talented youngsters with big local acts including The Wexford Jersey Boys, Maggs Jacob, The Penston Vocal Academy, Eric Hayes, The Blues Brothers, Fiddle it Out and Extreme Rhythm.

Tony Carty was the MC with Naoimh Penston holding the baton with Fintan Cleary keeping the show rocking.

If you missed it this year, make sure you book your tickets early for the 2017 performances.
