Day 17 extra: Ireland’s got more talent

Hello once again from Ireland – Collie here ably assisted by Mary Willis.  So We had our big talent show on Thursday night and I genuinely believe it might be

Collie, Ken Dickie & Paul...kind of

our best ever show. Not just for talent but sheer joy that they brought to their performance – all this and no auto-tuner too, Glee eat your heart out.

First up were Ignasi, Joan , Xavi & Carles who were “the instructors” This was a side-splitting show – now the boys were good as Dickie & Paul but Joan as Collie and especially Carles as Ken were a scream. It was like looking into a very embarrassing mirror, but it was all done in great spirit.
The were followed by “Show me the Money” Mary-Willis, Mackenzie and Greta performing “I need a dollar” with gusto.
The Chipmunks had a hard act to follow but follow it they did with Eloi, Manuel, Toni, Guillem, Juan, Alec. Miguel-Angel, Lucas, Adrian, Borja& t’other Juan

The Chipmunks

who sang a song and then decided to form a conga line around the whole room .
Another song followed, this time Jonathan and Pablo singing about their mobile phone – the girls loved this one :)
Guacamole or Giacomo as he is known in Italy performed a lovely piece of acoustic guitar music. We make a lot of jokes here about our Guacy but for once I’ll be serious not only was he great on the guitar , he is also one of the nicest kids we’ve ever had on this programme in almost 15 years of running it. I’m really not sure I’m willing to let him go home. Guacy also performed  “time of your life ” with Miguel as well as forming part of basshunter with Mary-Willis

Basshunters first gig

and Iluc. Iluc also did a solo spot performing “Beat it & Seven Nation army too. The boy is very good!
We had 3 solo spot by our youngest campers next. Zoel performed a great magic trick , Ivan got up and sung a fantastic spanish song all by himself & Alexi was a hilarious mischievous mime .
Dani showed off his brilliant juggling skills that he said he learned in school when he was supposed to be studying and Gemma &

Le Jackson 5

Robert sang a very funny version of I’m a little teapot.
Our 2 french guys Marc and Pierre were joined by Sebastian, Jose and Carles to re-invent the Jackson 5 before Dickie got everyone up on the floor to do his now legendary Pirate song. The evening finished with a performance of Saturday Night by 12 -Ana, Marina, Marta, Lluisa, Bet, Isabel, Nuria, Carme, Miriam, Alix, Maria & Esther but like all the best finales everyone joined in for a dance off at the end.
