0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hi, I'm Katy B and I love music.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07And I'm taking a group of Londonderry kids
0:00:07 > 0:00:10who all love music too and giving them an opportunity
0:00:10 > 0:00:12to perform on the biggest stages I can find.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22We take talented young musicians, more used to performing
0:00:22 > 0:00:26in their bedrooms, and put them in front of an audience of thousands.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34and plenty of passion -
0:00:34 > 0:00:36this is Music City.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm in Derry, which this year is UK City of Culture.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48This means its calendar is packed with world-class events.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53The city is determined that Derry's young people
0:00:53 > 0:00:56get a chance to be involved, and have created an initiative
0:00:56 > 0:00:58called the Music Promise.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02As part of that, we scoured Derry's schools
0:01:02 > 0:01:06to find 13 keen young musicians to give them the chance
0:01:06 > 0:01:09to up their game, work with some of the artists visiting this year...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm already liking your hand position, that's very good.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15How are you? I'm Amelia.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17..and perform on the biggest stages...
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I love music myself, and as a recording artist,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I've been lucky enough to be able to make a life out of it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31# I keep on moving with the lights on
0:01:31 > 0:01:34# So come on, play me just one more song... #
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I can't wait to be involved.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'd love to be here all year, but I've got gigs and commitments
0:01:44 > 0:01:47all over the world, so Derry musicians
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Glenn Rosborough and Jenny Grant are here to help me out.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Glenn plays in Wyldling,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00one of Northern Ireland's most promising bands.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The spark of creativity they have really reignites the spark
0:02:02 > 0:02:05that you have, so I'm really looking forward to the eight months,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and seeing where this is going to go.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And Jenny is a leading Derry harpist and music teacher.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's really inspiring to think that these kids
0:02:14 > 0:02:17really have so much potential. So I'm really, really excited
0:02:17 > 0:02:19to see what they're going to come up with.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Time to get out there and meet them. First up is Hannah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25# I don't care!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26# I love it!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29# I don't care! #
0:02:29 > 0:02:32When it comes to music, this 15-year-old really gives it some.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35She's got a big personality, with a big talent to match.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I'm loving life!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43# California girls We're unforgettable
0:02:43 > 0:02:46# Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top... #
0:02:46 > 0:02:50She lives for music. Up until now, she's been playing and performing
0:02:50 > 0:02:52cover versions.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56But recently, she's started writing her own material.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57# I love it! #
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But while Hannah looks to have all the confidence in the world,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02there is one thing she just can't face...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I always think to play me own song, you know, it's a bit of a risk.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It's always a bit of a risk, like, are they going to like it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Are they going to, you know, are they going to hate it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'm really excited to meet Hannah because, apparently,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22she's a brilliant songwriter and I love lyrics.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I love story-telling, so I'm hoping that she sings them for me.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Hello! How are you doing? How's it going? Welcome to Derry!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, thank you very much! I'm Hannah's mammy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Hi, hello. And this is Hannah. Hello! You're really welcome.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I've heard so much about you! So it's just in here.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, wow! Cool!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Who's this guy with the guitar?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That's my boyfriend. But it's, like, been scrunched up!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Every time we fight, I scrunch it up and throw it under my bed!
0:03:51 > 0:03:56And then when we make up, I stick it back up again!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So I heard that you only started showing people your songs
0:03:59 > 0:04:04not too long ago? Is that right?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yep? Would I be able to hear one of your songs?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Um... Please?!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Go on, why don't you go up and show Katy some of your stuff?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Oh, yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah!
0:04:17 > 0:04:18OK, all right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Up until now, the only people who've heard Hannah's songs
0:04:24 > 0:04:27have been the pop stars on her walls.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30But I think that if she can find the courage to start performing
0:04:30 > 0:04:34her own work in public, it could be brilliant for her confidence.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, it's so mad to have you, like, in my room.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Because, like, I've all your songs on my phone.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And, like, it's just mad that you're, like, sitting here.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Well, hopefully, I'll have some of your songs on my phone soon!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Oh, this is just really crazy, like! So what's this song called, then?
0:04:51 > 0:04:58My Musical Autobiography. So...
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Hi, I'm Hannah
0:05:05 > 0:05:07# I can't sing that well
0:05:07 > 0:05:10# If you told me a secret I'd never tell
0:05:10 > 0:05:15# Unless it was to one of my best friends
0:05:15 > 0:05:17# Let's get off the subject
0:05:17 > 0:05:21# Hi, when I'm all grown-up I want to rock the stage
0:05:21 > 0:05:25# I want to get older but never age
0:05:25 > 0:05:28# And I've a slight obsession
0:05:28 > 0:05:31# With a lazy-eyed man called Russell Howard
0:05:31 > 0:05:33# Oh-oh-oh-oh
0:05:33 > 0:05:37# I'ma put on a show
0:05:37 > 0:05:42# To show you me
0:05:42 > 0:05:45# Let you hear my musical autobiography
0:05:45 > 0:05:48# Oh-oh-oh... #
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Her songwriting is great and I love her lyrics,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53she's really funny, she's got a lot to say.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And you can really see her identity through her lyrics, you know.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That song couldn't be about anyone else, it was about Hannah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And I'm glad that she picked that one to play me,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05because it really kind of gave me a sense of who she is.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08# Oh-oh-oh. #
0:06:10 > 0:06:12SHE CHEERS
0:06:12 > 0:06:14That's amazing! Thank you.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17What an amazing song to just hear everything about you.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21That's, like, brilliant. When did you write that song?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24A couple of months ago, but I never really played it anywhere.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I was just kind of restricted... just playing in my room.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Yeah. I always just kind of played it, like, in here.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34This girl could really go places
0:06:34 > 0:06:36and we've got some exciting plans for her.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Someone else with big music dreams is 15-year-old Micaela.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45She is a talented multi-instrumentalist.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51She also loves her regular opportunity to sing every Sunday in church.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm quite strong in my faith, so it's wildly important.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I mean, I know it's like a Sunday morning
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and you've got to get up really early.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And, like, the reality is you would love to sleep on!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04But, like, I enjoy it, getting up and getting ready.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13There's loads of people there, tons of people.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17At the beginning, it can be really nerve-racking.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19If you made a mistake, you'd be like,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22"Oh, dear Lord, no! What have I done?!"
0:07:22 > 0:07:25But now it's just, I really do take it in my stride.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28And if I make a mistake, well, sure you can't go back and fix it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36I have dreams to be a singer,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I mean, that's what I go to bed every night and dream about.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I would love that.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, I can help with this dream. Micaela has a fantastic voice,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and needs an opportunity that will really test her.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Before going to school, Glenn is taking Micaela
0:07:54 > 0:07:57to The Venue - the main stage for all this year's events.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Oh, look at this! Are you having a laugh?!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05In just three weeks' time, it will host the Grand Vintage Ball,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09one of the premier nights on the City of Culture calendar.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I've organised for Micaela to sing a solo spot,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15in a line-up of stars from the Vintage Scene.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The event is sold out and 2,000 people are expected.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21That is insane! Oh, my God!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I seriously can't get over how massive this place is.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Like, I was scared before, but now I am definitely petrified,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32because I really don't want to mess up.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So Micaela's been given this fantastic opportunity,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39but it's not as easy as just walking out on stage and just singing.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41She's going to have to pick a song, rehearse it,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and find something to wear in just three weeks.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46So there's lots of hard work ahead.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Micaela and Hannah are just two of the 13 young people
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'm going to be working with throughout the year.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So I'm here at The Playhouse this morning to meet the kids
0:09:07 > 0:09:08for the first time as a group,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11and I can't wait to hear them play their instruments.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19SINGING
0:09:21 > 0:09:25# You shoot me down, but I won't fall
0:09:25 > 0:09:28# I am titanium... #
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Hi, guys, it's lovely to meet you!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37We've got pianists, singers, DJs and drummers.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Glenn and Jenny have already got the ball rolling.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Not bad! Yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Aw-w!
0:09:51 > 0:09:55So this is like the DJ section - you're all together.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Just talking about different set-ups we're using
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and stuff like that there, equipment.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Are you all into quite similar music, or is it quite different?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oh, OK.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13It's so exciting to see all these different skills and abilities.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18# My time on the outside is over! #
0:10:20 > 0:10:21APPLAUSE
0:10:23 > 0:10:25But getting to know each other is a two-way street.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Lovely, that's lovely.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Will you sing now, Katy?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Ah! What do you want me to sing?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Keep on moving when the lights is on. Yeah?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38You know what, earlier I heard the girls figure out some chords,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42so will you go and ask them if they'll play for me?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I've sung his song probably about 3,000 times in my life,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49so hopefully, I won't forget the words!
0:10:53 > 0:10:57# Cos I will keep on going until they say so
0:10:57 > 0:11:00# And even when they do it's so hard for me to go
0:11:00 > 0:11:01# While them others at the cloak room
0:11:01 > 0:11:07# And some others out the door
0:11:07 > 0:11:10# I keep on moving with the lights on
0:11:10 > 0:11:14# So come and play me just one more song
0:11:14 > 0:11:17# I keep on moving with the lights on
0:11:17 > 0:11:20# So you can't scare me with the lights on
0:11:22 > 0:11:26# Hey, yeah, yea-a-ah
0:11:28 > 0:11:34# I keep on moving with the lights o-o-on! #
0:11:34 > 0:11:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:39 > 0:11:45So I've met DJs, singer-songwriters, a harp player, a fiddle player.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The spectrum is so wide, which is brilliant,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51because everyone's got their own identity.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55So that's really great and everyone can kind of cheer each other on.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58So I've just heard you all playing and some of you have just started
0:11:58 > 0:12:01learning and some of you have been playing for years.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03But I just want to let you know that none of that matters,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06because these next couple of months are all about giving you
0:12:06 > 0:12:08opportunities that are going to blow your mind,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11inspire you and we're just going to have some fun through music.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm going to get them to work on a song together,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16which they'll perform later in the year.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21One member of this talented group is 15-year-old singer Eibhin.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27He hasn't always been one ready to thrust himself into the limelight.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30He's always sang away in the background,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33he wouldn't have been a big, up-the-front-singing type person,
0:12:33 > 0:12:37you know, he would sing about the house and if you asked him
0:12:37 > 0:12:39to sing stuff again, he always got a wee bit embarrassed about it,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42like he's doing now cos I'm talking!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44THEY LAUGH
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Look, there's Eibhin embarrassed! Who is? Eibhin by chance!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52But the turning point was winning a school talent competition last year.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55We were sitting in the audience and I was warned not to shout,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58or scream or make an exhibition of him! He did all three!
0:12:58 > 0:12:59THEY LAUGH
0:13:01 > 0:13:03He did do all three!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07And the music started, and he hit the first note,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and we couldn't speak.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11And since then, he hasn't looked back.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14The music's sort of my main focus.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Everything else I just sort of tolerate!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21His school have recognised this focus and now any time
0:13:21 > 0:13:23there's a school show or event,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Eibhin is the man they ask to take the mic.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30But for this performance, he doesn't seem to have done his homework...
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Writing out my words, because I forgot them.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37More nervous! Just a bit, though. Not so grand now!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It will be fine, anyway, as soon as I go on stage, it will go,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43won't be as jittery or as jumpy or as pacey.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46# Holding down his job... #
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Sketchy preparation isn't the surest foundation for performance success.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# Oh, it takes every kind of people
0:13:58 > 0:14:00# Life's about, yeah... #
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I've got plans for Eibhin. But he'll need to focus
0:14:12 > 0:14:16if he wants to make the most of the opportunity I've got in mind.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Someone else trying to get to grips with her words is Micaela.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28# I say a little prayer for you!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30# While combing my hair now... #
0:14:30 > 0:14:37Micaela is a week into her three week schedule to get ready to sing
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I Say A Little Prayer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41# You-ou-ou...
0:14:41 > 0:14:42# Please... #
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Ah, blah-blah-blah! I hate that bit!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46What happened?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I held the note too long and it's, like, really difficult
0:14:49 > 0:14:52to come down from. Maybe if you don't put that middle note in?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You go... # Ooooh... #
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And then go... # Oh-oh-oh-oh! #
0:14:57 > 0:14:59..instead? OK, yeah.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's up to you. Anyway, if you find it easier to have that kind of...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I can't do wee triplet notes like that!
0:15:04 > 0:15:05It's kind of difficult.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10# Say I'm in love with you-ou-ou
0:15:10 > 0:15:12# Answer my prayer now, baby! #
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You know at the end of each line in the verse? Uh-huh.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17You do like a natural kind of smile anyway. Uh-huh.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'd just extend it that tiny bit, because the more people see
0:15:20 > 0:15:23that you're having a good time, the more likely they're going to accept...
0:15:23 > 0:15:25OK. It was great. Thank you.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28But I want to see you do it again with a slightly bigger audience.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Slightly?. Yeah, so I'm going to get your mum and your sister...
0:15:31 > 0:15:34OK! ..to sit in. Ah, that's grand.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Come in.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Hello. Sorry to interrupt your TV, but could I borrow you
0:15:40 > 0:15:42for a few seconds? Yeah, come on in.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46We need an audience, so we do. You're my audience!
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Going to be entertained.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Right, OK.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53By me!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56We're in and I heard Micaela performing... Yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And I want to see how she does it live in front of a few more people.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Right. So, are you ready? Yes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Grand. I'm ready. Take it away, Michaela!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09SHE GIGGLES
0:16:12 > 0:16:16# Say a little prayer for you
0:16:16 > 0:16:17# The moment I wake up... #
0:16:17 > 0:16:21She took everything that I said on board, and with the performance
0:16:21 > 0:16:23then in front of her mum and her sister, you could see
0:16:23 > 0:16:26she was moving more, she was smiling more, and it was just...
0:16:26 > 0:16:27straightaway, she took it up.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28# We never will part
0:16:28 > 0:16:30# Oh, how I love you
0:16:30 > 0:16:33# Together, together, that's how it must be
0:16:33 > 0:16:41# To live without you will only mean heart break for me! #
0:16:43 > 0:16:45APPLAUSE
0:16:46 > 0:16:50What do you think? That's excellent! You think?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Fair going, I got a shock!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Singing a '60s classic is just up Micaela's street.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01She loves vintage style. What she needs next
0:17:01 > 0:17:04is the perfect outfit for her big night.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Time to go dress shopping!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Hello, how are you? Your poster's up.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I know, it's really nice. Are you nervous yet? Yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Really? Very.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It will be grand! You'll be fine, you'll be fine.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22# My life was cold... #
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'm just in heaven right now.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26# You put the flame on it... #
0:17:26 > 0:17:29This is definitely a Motown number.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31# This heart of mine... #
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yeah, I think we'll do this one.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35# You wrote your name on it...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37# You wrote your name on it... #
0:17:37 > 0:17:42What do you think? Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45# I could look away from it... #
0:17:45 > 0:17:47No, it's not Pretty In Pink!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50No. No, it's... No, it's far from it!
0:17:50 > 0:17:51It's uncomfortable in pink.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I look like a Vegas Show Girl!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56A Vegas Show Girl! This is just not happening.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57It's not you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:06Micaela, just as an afterthought,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Hello! Give me that! That's pretty. It's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12And it's got a little bit of bling.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Oooh, this is just the perfect wee combination!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Hold on till I get this on. Are you ready?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21# Cos you make me feel
0:18:21 > 0:18:24# You make me feel
0:18:24 > 0:18:30# You make me feel like a natural woman... #
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Is that the one you feel? Mm-hm.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Let's see. Cos we are... the hair is going up. Uh-huh.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Oh, that's it, that's the one there. Love my dress!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Big time, that is the one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It is stunning on her.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Perfect.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Hi, how's it going?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I love Eibhin's voice.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I think the time is right for him to step up to the next level.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I've sent Jenny around with the news of a great opportunity.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I've arranged for him to meet music legend Phil Coulter,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14who will be playing a major City of Culture concert
0:19:14 > 0:19:16with guests including Glee star Damien McGinity.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Ah, the proud daddy!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23As you might have heard, Phil expects pretty high standards.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26That's why he's getting Damien McGinity to do it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30So, along with yourself. LAUGHTER
0:19:30 > 0:19:32No pressure!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But because he has such high standards, he has
0:19:35 > 0:19:39requested that he has a rehearsal with you - how do you feel about it?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Aggh!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Derry's answer to Simon Cowell
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Yes, he's bigger than Simon Cowell.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Dear God.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Right, this might be hard for you but I want you to just, off the bat,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05without any piano, I want you to sing me something right now.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Um...OK, any requests?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Whatever you're comfortable with, whatever you think you can...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15you sing with fluidity and in tune, preferably.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Preferably! Yeah, OK.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24# I set out on a narrow way
0:20:24 > 0:20:28# Many years ago
0:20:28 > 0:20:33# Hoping I would find true love
0:20:33 > 0:20:36# Along the broken road
0:20:36 > 0:20:40# But I got lost a time or two
0:20:40 > 0:20:44# Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
0:20:44 > 0:20:47# I couldn't see how every sign
0:20:47 > 0:20:51# Pointed straight to you. #
0:20:51 > 0:20:53OK, you probably pitched that a bit high.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It was all right. Huh? It was OK.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59No, it wasn't OK, cos you were a bit flat on the top
0:20:59 > 0:21:01because you pitched it too high Yeah, OK.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Um, and that's something which you'll have to learn,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06not only about like pitching the right key but when it's not right...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Mm-hm. ..it's not right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Did I hear that on a previous airing that you forgot your words?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13I forget, yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17You see that, at the level we're talking about,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20the level that you want to aspire to... Mm-hm.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22..that is unforgivable. Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'm going to give you a chance. Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm going to give you a chance to be part of these concerts
0:21:29 > 0:21:32that we're doing with the Ulster Orchestra, on the day, or the day
0:21:32 > 0:21:36before, when we're doing rehearsals and we're doing sound checks, etc,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I'll decide how much preparation you've done, how hard you've worked
0:21:40 > 0:21:44and I'll decide if you're good enough to carry that shot through
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and how much I'm going to give you to sing,
0:21:46 > 0:21:47so the ball's in your court.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I'm giving you the opportunity but it's not a free ride. Yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55OK, the song that I want you to be part of is the new song
0:21:55 > 0:21:57that I've written, A Bright Brand New Day.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03# There's a fresh breeze blowing through the city tonight
0:22:03 > 0:22:09# As the sun sets over Sheriff's Mountain
0:22:09 > 0:22:12# Could it be that we might be winning?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15# There's a sense of a new beginning
0:22:15 > 0:22:19# From Creggan to the Waterside
0:22:21 > 0:22:26# There's a bright brand new day that's coming
0:22:26 > 0:22:31# May all of our dreams take flight
0:22:31 > 0:22:34# Sing it out, sing it clear
0:22:34 > 0:22:38# Sing it so the world can hear
0:22:39 > 0:22:44# It's a bright brand new day! #
0:22:44 > 0:22:46How much of that tune do you remember?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55That's your homework, kiddo. OK. Learn that inside out. OK.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Eibhin would be typical of a 14-year-old
0:23:02 > 0:23:06who has discovered that he's got a voice and that he can sing.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Nice man, wasn't he?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09The ball's in his court.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19After just three short weeks, Micaela's big day has dawned.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Tonight she performs in the Venue to a crowd of 2,000
0:23:21 > 0:23:25at the Grand Vintage Ball
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Micaela, are you nervous? For the night?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It's just really scary. There's going to be loads of people.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33But you'll be there so I'll be grand. You'll be like a diva on the stage.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Micaela, over all the people, will I be able to see?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Of course you will!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40'The only fear is I've never done anything
0:23:40 > 0:23:42'on this kind of a platform before,'
0:23:42 > 0:23:47and I honestly think, when I do realise, like, what's ahead of me,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I'll, like, I don't know what way I'm going to take it!
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So it can either go really well or really badly,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58so, hopefully it goes well and I don't freak out and just be like,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00"No, I can't do this any more!"
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Micaela devotes the rest of the day to doing everything
0:24:05 > 0:24:08she can to make sure the big night will go well.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10CAR HORN BEEPS
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Oh, my God! Is that a limo?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Micaela looks the part and is going to travel to her show in style.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21We weren't expecting this!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29We were going to get a taxi but got a limo instead.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Now, that's it in there now, Mummy, that big tent. It's huge.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Before long, the Grand Vintage Ball dance floor starts to fill with
0:24:49 > 0:24:52the 2,000 sell-out crowd expected for the night.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Soon the party is swinging with everyone in the vintage spirit...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10..including Micaela's Music Promise friend Hannah,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12who has come along to support her.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17It's show time!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Good luck, good luck, good luck.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:45 > 0:27:47It didn't even seem like it was me.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It just felt like it was like I just walked on
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and everyone just looked up at me and I looked down at everybody
0:27:52 > 0:27:54and I just felt like a completely different person.
