The Three Marys who have won the hearts of thousands to launch CD
The CD will be launched this Tuesday at the Maghery Senior Social Club at 11.30am
The three Marys who have won the hearts of thousands through their online singing are about to launch their very first album this Tuesday at the Maghery Senior Social Club at 11.30am.
The fabulous CD also includes bonus songs from both International singing stars Daniel O’Donnell and Margo.
The CD is in aid of the Maghery Senior Social Club. Many events take place at the club and music definitely comes to the fore for those at the club where Mary Rodgers takes care of all those who attend the day centre.
There is a wonderful choice of songs on the CD: “We have Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Mary from Dungloe, Save the Last Dance For me and we have Eileen McGee Ferry singing Gleanntáin Ghlás Ghaoth Dobhair and many more,” Mary Rodgers said.
Despite the fact that the women have become a huge online success - the three women take it in their stride and enjoy the process.
“We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We enjoy the craic - without a doubt, we have great fun,” Mary Rodgers said.
The Marys have been singing for many years. Mary McGee participated in the Burtonport Variety Group for many years.
Mary Rodgers set up a facebook page around six years ago and thousands of people, from across the world, began to tune in and like their songs: “Mary Joe Bonner entered around two years ago and then we had three Marys and the videos just got more and more popular. We have millions of views. One song has two million views on its own and there are several other videos with a million views.”
On average the videos get twenty to thirty thousand views a week when posted.
Pleanáil Teanga na Rosann financially supported the production of the CD, Mary O Brien from Pleanáil Teanga na Rosann said they were delighted to support the project as it ensures the wonderful songs are passed on from generation to generation.
