Inishowen takes over the telly 16.10.08

STUDENTS from Carndonagh Community School and the Inishowen Gospel Choir have taken over the television airwaves this week.
Tomorrow night, the Inishowen Specular Choir, a sister of the gospel choir, will accompany Duke Special live on 'The Late, Late Show' where they will perform ‘Sweet, Sweet Kisses’, from his new album.
And on Tuesday last, four students from Carn Community School – Ryan McCormick, Gráinne Byrne, Nicole Harley and Adam Doherty – spoke with Roisín Duffy in an hour-long RTÉ 1 programme called 'My Generation'. The programme explored what it’s like to be a teenager in Inishowen.
'My Generation' was made earlier in the summer when Duffy and a TV crew accompanied the teenagers as they went about their daily lives.

This is the second in two-part series about teenage life which last week focused on the lives of Dublin teenagers.
Meanwhile, the local musicians continue their collaboration tomorrow night with the Belfast-based Duke Special on Pat Kenny's popular talk show.
“It’s all starting to come together pretty well for us,” said choir director Kathryn O’Callaghan. The choir will also perform with Duke Special at album launches in Dublin and Belfast next Saturday.
Later this month, the choir will perform at the Belfast Festival at Queens University with artists including Foy Vance and Bronagh Gallagher. BBC2 TV will broadcast footage from the choir’s recent concert at McGrory’s in a festival preview show on Thursday, October 23. 'The Late, Late Show' starts at 9.30pm on RTÉ 1 on Friday, October 17.
