Malahide Musical and Dramatic Society News

Malahide Musical and Dramatic Society would like to express a huge thank you to everyone that participated in and supported their recent fundraiser Malahide's Got Talent.

The competition was held over four nights from Thursday, 10th November 2011 until Sunday, 13th November 2011 inclusive. The first three nights were held in Malahide Rugby Club with the top acts, as voted for by a combination of audience votes and judges votes, qualifying for the Grand Final which was held on Sunday, 13th November 2011 in the 4* Grand Hotel.

The range of talent on display was tremendous - from Irish dancers to hip hop dancers, singers, rappers, musicians, the list goes on! 

They are delighted to announce the winners of Malahide's Got Talent 2011 were local band Fret 13 comprised of Seán Dolan, David McIntyre and Ben Lawless. The band impressed the judges with their stage presence as they sang and played Blink 182's 'All the Small Things'. As well as being crowned overall winners, they took home the top prize of €500. In second place, and winners of €200, were girl group The Copycats which consisted of Emma Woodhead, Emma O'Reilly and Megan O'Shea who impressed the judges with their rendition of Maroon 5's  recent hit 'Misery'. The girls sang and danced their way to second place. In third place, was Aoife O'Connor who gave the audience a beautiful performance of film classic, 'My Heart will Go On' made famous by Celine Dion. Aoife was thrilled to take home €100.

A great night was had by all and thank you to everyone that helped out both in front of house and behind the scenes. The funds raised from this competition will go towards staging Malahide Musical and Dramatic Society 's next production, Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which will be held in Scoil Iosa Hall from 14th February 2012 until 18th February 2012. Rehearsals for this musical are in full swing under the direction of Lynda O'Neill, Musical Director Andrew J. Linnie and Choreographer Michelle O'Hara. Both cast and crew are all very excited about this one.

Finally, keep an eye out for M.M.D.S. over the next few weekends as they take to the streets of Malahide carol singing!
