Galway Shawl : Video by Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School

Birmingham Irish • May 13, 2020

The children of Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School in Tile Cross have recorded their heartwarming rendition of ‘Galway Shawl’.

This is the special song they sang for the President of Ireland during his visit to Birmingham last year. That day, they brought tears to many eyes and delighted the President and his wife Sabina.
In the desperately lonely times we are currently facing, they wish to share with you all a recording of their singing and images of Galway, which they hope will bring positivity, light and will lift your spirits.
