DDTV: APOLLO 6 SONG SCOOPS BEO NATIONAL TITLE

Halloweve saw the final of the first Comórtas BEO do Amhran Nua Chumatha.

Ten acts gathered in the Malton Hotel where they were hosted at the annual Scléip na Hoige. Each act had to perform their origal song as Gaeilge and make a 2 min presentation to judges Cian Mac Cathraigh radio na Life, Traic O Breannain Radio Rí Rá agus Colaiste na bFhiann and Ronan Mac Aodha Bhuí Radio na Gaeltachta.

Competition on the night was tight with Fear na Tí commenting “Buíochas le Dia I don’t have to choose”

Winners Apollo 6 were announced at 10 10 and preformed their winning song for the second time, Eurovision style.

Many of those attending from Scléip na nóg were delighted with the judges choice.

Apollo 6’s original song will now feature on the Radio Rí Rá Cd which will be distributed nationally for Seachtain na Gaeilge.

BEO were delighted with the success of their first National Competition inviting Teens to write an original song in Irish.

BEO would like to thnk Scléip na nOige for hosting the event and Foras na Gaeilge, Údaras na Gaeltachta, Donegal ETB and Donegal for their continued support and making such events possible.
