VIDEO: Film producer David Puttnam helps Clonakilty ‘Butterfly’ collaboration take off

Film producer David Puttnam yesterday weighed in behind an exuberant Christmas song performed by West Cork schoolboys and children from a remote African tribe.

The magical across-the-oceans festive collaboration by primary school pupils in Clonakilty and children from the nomadic Samburu tribe in Kenya was launched in the town at the weekend.

The Samburu tribespeople are also known as The Butterfly People for their colourful headgear, jewellery, and clothing.
