‘Swing’ a hometown hit

INTERNET singing sensations Crystal Swing played a sold out gig at Cork Opera House last night amid reports that they are set to perform on stage with British singer Lily Allen this summer.

The family trio from, Lisgoold, Co Cork, received a huge boost earlier this year when they performed on the widely watched Ellen DeGeneres Show in the US.

The family trio, Mary Murray-Burke and her children Dervla and Derek, performed two songs and were interviewed by the host. The appearance followed their rise to prominence when a video of them performing a cover of He Drinks Tequila became one of the most watched and discussed items on YouTube.
