WATCH: Four Derry schools, one big choir, and a whole lot of Christmas magic!

Pupils from Nazareth House, Fountain, Long Tower and St Eugene’s shine in joint performance

Children from four local primary schools came together for a magical Christmas carol performance in front of a packed Main Hall at the Guildhall. More than 60 children from Nazareth House Primary School, Fountain Primary School, Long Tower Primary School and St Eugene’s Primary School formed one big choir to perform festive favourites including Silent Night, Walking in a Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells and more.

Féile’s Eibhlín Morrison said the event showed what can happen when young people come together at Christmas.

She said: “Our Christmas Wish was fantastic and it’s an absolute credit to the young people and their schools who put on such an amazing performance.

“It is an amazing glimpse of what is possible when young people from all communities come together, and to put on a show like that on the big stage is an incredible achievement. People walked away from the Guildhall with extremely high levels of Christmas spirit after the amazing songs and music from the very talented children.”

Féile would like to thank the schools for taking part, along with the children’s families, friends, school staff and the many members of the public who came along to support the performance and Deputy Mayor Alderman Niree McMorris for opening the event.
