Undertones: Teenage Kicks for Derry choir as recording hits the big screen

Teenage Kicks, so hard to beat - so the classic hit by The Undertones goes and so too it proved for choir members from a Londonderry special education school who have recorded a new version with the legendary punk members from Ardnashee School and College attended a special cinema screening of the performance on Wednesday, which was filmed last December at the home of Derry City FC, the Ryan McBride Brandywell regarded as one of the band's best-known songs, the 1978 hit has also become an unofficial anthem for Derry City recorded performance was part of the club's outreach initiative to promote inclusion through music and community engagement. About 50 pupils formed the choir to record the song, bringing new energy to a much-loved Candystripes anthem."It was very good. I'm very proud of myself," said pupil Logan after seeing himself on the big screen at the Brunswick school choir's rendition had previously caught the attention of the band after an earlier version was shared online, prompting The Undertones to want to collaborate on the special recording. Bass guitarist Mickey Bradley, who attended Tuesday's screening, praised the students' energy and musical ability. "To see all those children who are getting great pleasure out of singing a song that you were involved in, you know it's hard to beat," he said."The joy and the enthusiasm that they had for it, kind of reminded me of the way we were whenever we were teenagers—whenever we made the record, you know." Guitarist Damian O'Neill said it was a really enjoyable project to be a part of and praised the choir's performance."Watching the kids when they were singing it and the joy that they were getting, they were obviously having fun," he said. "We get that same feeling," he addedKaren Pyne, Derry City FC's supporters liaison officer, said this project has been a fantastic initiative, and everyone loves the new recording."Three years ago we set up Different Together in conjunction with Ardnashee School and College to bring inclusion and diversity to the club." Tuesday's event also included tributes to filmmaker Vinny Cunningham, who directed the original video in December and passed away in February at the age of 58. Mr Cunningham, a dedicated Derry City fan, was well known for his work on Mahon's Way, Lesser Spotted Ulster, and documentaries about both the Troubles and The Undertones. An encore due to popular demand Ardnashee principal Raymond McFeeters described the experience as "magnificent" for the children involved. "I think they thought that they were the stars," he appointed deputy mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Niree McMorris, said the pupils should be incredibly proud of everything they have achieved. "It's wonderful to see this school being recognised for the special children that are within it. To be involved in the project with Teenage Kicks is amazing." The screening ended with loud applause and cheers — and an encore by popular demand from those in attendance. "It was so amazing that we had it on twice," said pupil Faye. Cian, another pupil and choir member, attended the screening with his parents and said he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw himself and his friends on the big screen. "I was like: 'No way, is that actually real?' I loved it."

Subway workers vote to strike in row over pay and working conditions

Unite said more than 100 staff employed in Glasgow's Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) subway voted by 97.5% in favour of industrial action, with a series of 24-hour stoppages planned later this month. Strikes are to take place on June 21, 25, 27 and 28 while an overtime ban will be in place from June 13. The union warned that chronic under-staffing has led to the subway system struggling, with train drivers and station staff often working up to 10 hours over their contract of 39 hours per week. Unite said that SPT has not made any improvements, and that staff are frequently called in to work additional shifts at short notice. The subway system will be closed on the day of the Punk All Dayer festival in Bellahouston Park, which features acts like the Sex Pistols, Sting, Simple Minds and Stereophonics. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Unite's Glasgow subway members membership feel totally devalued and ignored. 'We will not tolerate our members being exhausted and underpaid. The subway system is running on empty. 'SPT has had every opportunity to resolve the chronic issues that have resulted in this dispute but have chosen not to act.' Andrew Brown, Unite industrial officer, said: 'The strike action will cause major disruption across the subway system but this is entirely the fault of SPT's management which has continuously ignored the workers' concerns about being overstretched and under-staffed.' SPT said it is 'disappointed' workers have resorted to striking, but maintained it will work with the union to resolve any issues. Director of transport operations Richard Robinson said: 'We have been notified by the Unite the Union that it intends to ask its members to take strike action on June 21, 25, 27 and 28. 'SPT is currently looking at what this means for services on those days. 'While we are disappointed that Unite has chosen to take this action while we are still in active discussions, SPT remains committed to working with Unite to resolve all issues as we plan for future working arrangements for the Subway.'
