WATCH: Things get competitive in Mountmellick School's new Music Video

This morning saw the premiere of a brand new music video from 5th class pupils at Mountmellick's Scoil Phádraig Naofa.

Featuring a soundtrack of bodhráns performed by the students of 5th class, the ‘Bodhrán Games’ music video presents a series of clashes by rival 5th classes from the school, all competing to win the ‘Bodhrán Games.’

Fifth class Teachers Robbie Eyers and Eddie McEvoy  feature prominently in the games, and school Principal John Murrel made a cameo at the end. 

5th and 6th classes from Scoil Phádraig Naofa take part in weekly bodhrán classes provided by Music Generation Laois’ Dale McKay.

Terry Byrne from Music Generation Laois, worked with Dale McKay, students of 5th class and staff of Scoil Phádraig Naofa to create this music video. This music programme is supported by the Music Rich schools project for DEIS schools, funded by Creative Ireland Laois in Laois County Council.
