Clonakilty children hit the high note with Christmas fundraising CD

‘Home — The Clonakilty Christmas Song’ will be performed by staff and pupils of Scoil na mBuachaillí on this coming Friday as part of the 10th anniversary of the town’s hugely successful Remembrance Tree Christmas Charity fundraiser.

Composed by school principal Barth Harrington and produced by John Fitzgerald from the acclaimed Lettercollum Recording Studios, the song will be performed during the launch of the annual Remembrance Tree event at 8pm in Spiller’s Lane. The location has been specially decorated in a spectacular biblical theme recalling ancient Bethlehem.
