Congratulations to the Clodagh Macra Ballad group who become All Ireland Champions at the 29th Annual Macra na Ferime National Talent Competition last Saturday the 18th of May! A great night’s entertainment was had by all in the Helix Theatre in Dublin City University. The competition is made up of eight entirely separate events namely Disco Dancing, Solo Instrumental Music, Solo Singing, Novelty Act, Mastermind, Set Dancing, Comedy and Pop/Folk/Ballad Group.
The Clodagh girls were up against some tough competition from Freemount Macra (Cork), Fanebridge Macra (Louth) and Athboy Macra (Meath). But the only all-girl ballad group on the night were pitch perfect and came out victorious. The Ballad Group was made up of Anne Marie Kavanagh, Clare Kavanagh, Laura Ryan, Maria Ryan, Karen Ryan and Becky Prior. The girls performed 2 songs on the night, “Easy and Slow” by the Dubliners and the Lumineers hit “Ho! Hey!”.

Well done to all who took part and comhghairdeas again to our talented singing group!
