Talented all-girls choir from kilkenny made it to the talent show’s semi-finals..

An all-girl school choir from Kilkenny wowed audiences and judges alike with their choreographed performance of Adiemus by Karl Jenkins during their audition on Britain’s Got Talent.

Lead by their choral director Veronica McCarron, the 57 girls, aged 14-18, of the Presentation School Choir’s strong vocals and synchronized movements earned them a place in the talent show’s semi final. The choir performed their rendition of Ave Maria last week, but unfortunately did not win enough votes to make it into the final

Fermanagh-born choir mistress McCarron told the Irish Mirror : “As a choral director I’m extremely proud of the girls. The lasting legacy they’ve left is incredible - they’re represented Kilkenny and Ireland around the world in the most incredible way.”

McCarron suggested that a “technical glitch” with the voting system may have cost the choir the competition.

“When the girls came off the stage after the performance they were on a high," she said. “We had huge support - even in the British press. They’re writing about how unfortunate it was about the votes because there seemed to be a problem with Irish voting."

“People couldn’t register their vote and I know that from my own family, so we could’ve lost out on hundreds, maybe thousands of votes.

This kilkenny school choir's performance on britain's got talent is wowing everyone.

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT is back in full swing with the 10th season (yes, 10th ) underway on ITV.

But it seems that the contest has expanded its reach and is now looking to our shores for talent. This weekend, a choir from Presentation Secondary School in Co. Kilkenny will appear on the show in a bid to impress Simon Cowell and the gang.

A clip of their rousing performance has just been released and it’s kind of incredible.

Plus it brings back a lot of memories of being in the school choir…

The perfect poise and immaculate school uniforms…

The intense concentration…

And, of course, the choreography.

We don’t yet know how the choir fared, but Simon did like choir leader Veronica McCarren’s glasses…

So that bodes well, right?

Britain’s Got Talent airs on TV3 tomorrow at 8pm.

We’ll start making the “GO ON PRESENTATION!” signs now.

Britain’s Got Talent: Kilkenny choir narrowly misses final

Girls from presentation secondary school were placed fourth out of nine performers.

The Presentation Secondary School Choir from Kilkenny narrowly missed out on a place in the Britain's Got Talent final following a vote on Thursday night.

The girls were placed fourth out of nine performers following a count of one and a half million votes from the public, ending a celebrated run on the popular UK talent show.

Following their earlier semi-final performance of Ave Maria , the choir had received a standing ovation from the audience and judges.

Simon Cowell praised the performance, described choir mistress Veronica McCarron as "honestly special" and wrongly predicted the final would be a "battle of the choirs".

“I liked the first audition, I absolutely loved this performance. You are honestly special. It’s like you came from Heaven, you lot,” he said.

“I think what we’ve got heading here is a battle of the choirs in the final.”

Fellow judge David Walliams said the act was "wholesome", adding: "This was the absolute perfect song and what you did with it was astonishing."

In the end though, the singing impressionist Craig Ball was the outright winner of Thursday's competition and proceeds to Saturday's final.

Presentation School Choir didn't get the Golden Buzzer, as The 100 Voices of Gospel did last week. But they did get 4 yeses.

Married Chris and Lisa Pitman declared themselves to be "the world's most powerful couple", and smashed roof tiles. They smashed it with the judges, too.

Acrobats Dmitry and Ksenila also flexed their muscles – and David wondered what they got up to behind closed doors… So Dmitry showed him some hip thrusts. Eeeew! 3 yeses. Simon not keen.

Married couple Ian and Anne Marshall sang Beyoncé's Crazy In Love to show how they feel about each other. And David Walliams hit the Golden Buzzer to show how he felt about them.

Ruby Murry was a drag act who sang opera. "If only Pavarotti had dressed like that," said David Walliams, as Ruby sang Nessun Dorma. "You're a fantastic singer." 4 yeses.

Kathleen Jenkins had the audience on their feet when she sang Wild Horses…and all of the judges. See what Simon said about her here .

Hoop dancer Geoffrey Payne had the judges united in their decision about his performance… He got 4 nos.

Colin Henry wanted to show off his piano-playing skills – but not just sitting at the piano…

Colin also played the piano standing on his head. "I didn't see that coming!" said Alesha Dixon. But all the judges saw Colin through to the next round.

"I can't guess what you're going to do," David Walliams told Elvis impersonator Steve Singh…And he didn't do it well enough to get through.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start. 

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
