And the talent varied from the stunning trio, Saoirse, Aibhe and Moya from Cartown to the dancing feet of Jasmine Kennedy.

Abbie and Cara from Cartown delivered a great duet and Kate Carolan from Cartown was spellbindi­ng with her performace.

Judges Derek Eakins, Theresa Mckenna and Conor Whearty were all taken with the array of talent on show, Peter Connor from St Joseph’s another to shine with his musical theatre number. ‘You have it all,’ judge Conor remarked.
