IN PICTURES: Local schools Join Mellow DEEDS for seasonal celebration in Creggan

Monday last saw a great turnout for the Old Library Trust’s Mellow DEEDS Annual Christmas Concert held in the Bishop’s Field Centre, Creggan.

Led by DEEDS Choir leader Anna Nolan, the group performed a number of seasonal songs and carols, ably assisted by local primary school Holy Child and students and teachers from St. Mary’s College.

St. Mary’s Traditional Group, under the leadership of Mr. McBride also were joined on stage by a quartet of singers from the school.

Thanking everyone who attended and helped out in any way, event organiser, Sinead Devine, DEEDS co-ordinator, Old Library Trust said: ‘We have a fantastic morning of music, singing, and indeed dancing. I extend heartfelt thanks to the two local schools – St. Mary’s and Holy Child for their participation in what was a fabulous day. We had carols, traditional music and everyone joined in the annual seasonal celebrations. A big thank you also to our funders – LFT Charitable Trust - for their continued support.’

Mellow DEEDS will finish up before Christmas with an intergenerational music and singing workshop with pupils from the Holy Child on Monday next.
