Their repertoire includes a range of Irish and Celtic songs as well as popular songs that have been given a Celtic theme – such as Puff the Celtic Dragon.

In this video the children are singing the classic Irish song Galway Girl. They seem to be really enjoying the song and sing loudly and enthusiastically with big smiles on their faces.

There were also plenty of hand gestures, dancing and movement to go with the song.

Some of the children are also taking part by providing the music for the class on their guitars. It is enough to put anybody in a great mood.

The video also includes the lyrics to Galway Girl at the bottom of the screen so you can easily join in if you don’t know the words.
