In absence of Scór activities due to Covid Pandemic, and following on from very successful ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’, Cultural Officer Caroline McGreevy organised a pre-Easter online Scór Programme of Entertainment – Dancing, Singing, Recitation, Instrumental Music, Ballad Group and a Juvenile ‘Novelty Act’ written by Caroline and Paddy McGreevy, practiced on Zoom and uploaded as final act on Easter Saturday night.
As a direct result of this programme showcased on Clonduff’s FaceBook Page, TG4 contacted the Club inviting family acts to participate in their family-based competition ‘Realta na nGaolta’. Seven acts participated in the televised show – Three generations of Joe Farrell’s family Dancing half set; Kevin and Anne O’Hare and daughter Naoimh Quinn (Singing), Lishín and Derarca O’Hare (Instrumental Music), McElroy Family (Singing – reached semi finals), Kelly Family (Music/Singing), Magee Family (Instrumental Music) and siblings Kayleigh and Jordan McPolin (Singing).
Meantime, Scór na nÓg singer Shannon Copeland had three TV appearances – starting off in March when she and her Mum appeared on ‘Donacha’s 2 Talented’, followed in May with TG4’s ‘Junior Eurovision’ where she had to perform as Gaeilge and she finished off the year with two spots on ‘The Late Late Toy Show’.
