"PITCH PERFECT" - Starring our very own Matt Cahill...

Body

  TWO Musical Experts, ONE Choir, ONE All Ireland          Final

"Pitch Perfect" is a newly created format for TG4 from Good Company Productions which will be hitting our screens from Monday Night 7th November at 7.30pm with an hour long opening extravaganza.

Officially sanctioned by Croke Park and the GAA, "Pitch Perfect" has selected singers from local GAA Clubs (our own Matt Cahill from Crokes was talented enough to make the cut) and Parishes all over Ireland who became a Choir and realized their dream of performing Centre Stage at Croke Park singing the songs of the Opposing Teams for the All Ireland Football Final on the 3rd Sunday of September 2011 in front of a crowd of over 82,000 people.

Two Mentors, International Soprano Niamh Murray and Composer and former Musical Director with Riverdance Colm O Foghlú  weeded out their selection of Altos, Sopranos, Basses and Tenors and trained these 30 Voices over an 8 week period and moulded them into a Choir representing clubs from all corners of Ireland as the GAA does from Strabane to Schull, Kiltimagh to Killester and Gorey to Gort.

Filming took place at locations from Maynooth College to the Gaiety Theatre to the National Concert Hall and with such notable Guests as Anuna, Colm Wilkinson, River Dance percussionist Ian McTigue, Barber Shop Quartet "Four in a Bar", Rock Band "Stand", Brian Kennedy, Fiachna O Braonáin and Seosaimhí­n Ní­ Bheaglaoich joining the mentors.

But "Pitch Perfect" is not just a choral music programme but offers us an insight into how our top County Teams work and train to reach their ultimate footballing stage, Croke Park. Throughout the series we follow the movement of the Football Championship with 8 weeks until the Final with the GAA backdrop being offered by the voices of such notable former GAA playing stars as Dara O Cinnéide of Kerry, Coman Goggins of Dublin, Jarlath Burns of Armagh and Seán O Domhnaill of Galway and many more.

Well Done Matt, you are doing Crokes proud  -  "PITCH PERFECT" CONTINUES EACH MONDAY @ 8PM _______  Don't forget to tune in..
