In the last few months the students from the Holy Rosary National School in Wicklow Town were working on this very exciting project. Together with the Music Generation Wicklow they recorded a beautiful collection of songs. The CD is in the final stage of production now and will be available for purchase in the school at the beginning of December.

This coming Thursday is going to be a very special day for all the people involved in producing the Christmas music CD at St Joseph's National School in Kilcock. It'll be launched at a special event, and having just received the CDs from the manufacturer, they sound and look terrific.

It's been such a pleasure working on the CD with the school, from initial meetings to plan what might go on the album, all the way through to recording and producing it. The team, lead by principal Ann Mcquillan and the music director Bernadette Shiel-Nolan, brought wonderful energy and confidence to the project, and even revealed some great talent in the team. And they helped to unlock the creativity and joy of the children themselves, all of whom sing on the CD.

The launch takes place in St Coca's Church in Kilcock on the 8'th December at 7.30pm

The CD, which will raise funds for the school, is on sale at the event and afterwards. It can also order it online at [email protected]
