Future is Crystal clear: ‘We’re here for good’

IT WAS one of those seminal TV moments when you knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

Dressed in his trademark flared white suit and wide-collared black shirt, Crystal Swing’s Derek Burke hucklebucked his way through Ellen DeGeneres’s audience in Los Angeles earlier this week, and on to the world stage.

Not bad for an 18-year-old from Lisgoold, in east Cork, who was, just days later, back on the bus to school in Midleton. Love them or hate them — Crystal Swing had arrived. And they are hot property.
