The young people of the newly formed BIFE Children’s Choir had their debut performanc­e recently at Bray Library.

The boys and girls aged eight to 12 sang a lively and fun repertoire of songs under the direction of Artemis Kent.

The children take classes on Monday evenings at the music centre on Florence Road and have been working hard to prepare their concert.

BIFE make up students were on-hand to create ‘ Thriller’ looks for members of the choir.
