‘Share a smile and not the virus’ - Donegal teenager’s piano video a hit

Ellie Rose Henry from Newtoncunnigham shared her piano version of ‘Strongest’ by Ina Wrolsden for her school’s Virtual Music Jam.

Thirteen-year-old Ellie Rose is a first year pupil at Deele College in Raphoe, and the school had urged students to help them ‘share a smile and not the virus’.

Ellie Rose learned the song as part of a First Year task for Wellbeing Week.

And the school community was clearly delighted with the results, as where those who have since heard the song and seen the video.

In a message on Facebook, Deal College posted: “ Thank you to Ellie Rose Henry in helping us share a smile and not the virus through our Music Project with her wonderful piece. A very talented girl......... Thank you Ellie Rose for joining in and well done.”
