MusicGeneration's Glow on the Go returns on Friday - with Cork's Toy Show rappers and singers in tow

The stars are among the young musicians doing a lap of the city to spread cheer - fresh from their appearance on the biggest telly night of the year

Nanny Peggy Cahalane reacts to her grandson Evan Cahalane’s 5th Class Scoil Íosagáin singing carols in her garden and Farranree, as part of Music Generation Cork City's 'Glow on the Go' last week.

MusicGeneration Cork City, much like their sibling projects in other parts of the country, do Trojan work year-round: enlisting local musicians like Rubyhorse's Joe Philpott and rappers/producers like Spekulativ Fiktion and GMC to help provide readily accessible music education in the city, from theory and performance to production and recording.

With Christmas approaching, young people working with the project are set to take to their localities for the annual Glow on the Go event on Friday, with the help of Cork City Council. Wearing bobble-hats and Christmas jumpers, they'll be heading for their neighbourhoods to share festive tunes and musical japes aplenty after another hard year, including performing at care homes, and the homes of the elderly.
