Starsearch 2006 was a fantastic success at the end of January and with so many students auditioning, it was difficult to narrow down the final line-up to just 16 acts.

This year also saw some changes, with an award for Best Overall Performance on the first night of the show and prizes for Best Band, Best Dance Act and Best Soloist Performance on the second night of the show.

Well done to this year's hardworking TY production team, some of whom also made a very impressive backdrop for the stage. Congratulations to Sean Fay (1st Year) who won Best Overall Performance and Eoin McDonagh (LC2) overall winner of Starsearch 2006.

......no doubt our incoming TY students are looking forward to making sure that Starsearch 2007 is the best show yet!!!

Starsearch Winner 2006

Starsearch is an annual concert organised by Transition Year students led by the inspirational Ms. Vickie Stokes who, year in year out puts a truly phenomenal amount of time and effort into the project, to such an extent that no one realises just how much work she does.

All proceeds from this year's show went to worthy charities, a school in Mozambique which has a connection with C.C.C. and the Laura Lynn Hospice Foundation.

This was the sixth year of Starsearch and the show was better than ever. Each of the eighteen acts gave excellent performances, wowing the 400 strong crowds and leaving the judges with a difficult decision to make.
