Riverdance founder backs cellist Jayden, 15, for musical stardom

A mother who says her cello-playing son “will be a somebody” has convinced the co-founder of Riverdance, John McColgan, to back them.

“You are a fierce mum,” he told Jane Lamcellari, mother of musician, Jayden, 15 after agreeing to sponsor the talented teen.

Jane appealed via RTÉ’s Ryan Tubridy Show on Thursday for support for her son’s training at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
