We're delighted that the award winning Waringstown Primary School Junior Choir will sing for us at the St Patrick's Day Festival Service in Down Cathedral.
The choir won the prestigious title of 'Songs of Praise United Kingdom Junior Choir of the Year' 2004, a title which brought great credit to the school and to Northern Ireland. In 2009 the choir returned to Manchester to compete in the Songs of Praise competition, a venture which culminated in March when they were again awarded the title of 'Songs of Praise Junior Choir of the Year' for 2009- 2010.. Last autumn the choir sang with Aled Jones to create a special CD for Children in Need.
Waringstown Primary School is situated in the small picturesque village of Waringstown in County Down. Most of the children of the village attend the school which has had a tradition of music going back many years. The first school choir was formed in 1970 and from then to the present day successive choirs have enjoyed performing and competing at many different venues.
