One Million Views: Avicii Vs Lurgan
We covered The Archies when I went to the Gaeltacht. Thankfully Youtube wasn’t around, and wouldn’t be for another 25 years.
Coláiste Lurgan, in Indreabhán in Galway, however do stunning covers, not least their version of Avichee’s “Wake Me Up”. As Gaeilge. In Irish. Of course.
It’s passed one million views now.

The Swedish DJ himself, as known as Tim Bergling, has expressed his admiration. Enjoy it, and more from Stiofán Ó Fearail and Seo Linn, with the students of Coláiste Lurgan on the Youtube channel of TG Lurgan
