Six very talented young performers from Newbridge Stage Academy will feature on TG4 tonight at 8.30pm as part of the semi-finals for the Junior Eurovision 2018 as they hope to be given the chance to represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision in Belarus.
The group, 'The Dynamos', consists of 6 members Ali Kaye, Laura Jane Kaye, Faye Quinn, Niamh Whitehead, Katelyn Dennehy and Lucy Murray. They will be performing an original song written by the extremely talented 13-year-old Ali Kaye and they will be judged by a panel of experts.
Speaking to KildareNow about the exciting news, the students’ teacher Katie Conlan of Newbridge Stage Academy said: “We are delighted to have not only one but two acts appeared on TV for the show! The first group is ‘The Dynamos”. This group has 6 members- Ali Kaye, Laura Jane Kaye, Faye Quinn, Niamh Whitehead, Katelyn Dennehy and Lucy Murray. They will be performing a song written by the extremely talented 13-year- old Ali Kaye. Ali wrote this song about her Dad and it is very special to this group of young performers and it explains a daughter’s love for her father. Ali Kaye is also a world champion medal winner having travelled to the World Championships in LA with Stage Academy this summer.”
