School choir sings Danny Boy
As part of the Music City celebrations on Friday a choir of schoolgirls sang a beautiful rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ ahead of the World Record attempt.
Standing on the Music Promise Stage in Waterloo Place early on Friday morning, the young women were among the first to entertain the large gathering of shoppers, curious bystanders, and other school groups with a beautiful arrangement of the 100-year-old song.
The words of the song were penned by English lawyer and lyricist, Frederic Weatherly in 1910.
One of the World’s favourite songs, Danny Boy, to the tune of the Londonderry Air, is a favourite of many performing artists who have recorded it, including Elvis, The Pogues and even The Muppets!
