IT WAS ONLY last month that Coláiste Lurgan’s cover of Toto’s Africa was another viral mega hit for the school - and deservedly so.

This week they were back with a TG4 special showcasing their talents on national telly.

And the highlight was their version of Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For as Gaeilge

As ever, the fiddle and the harps were out to go with the vocal melodies.

Another one for the ever-growing collection

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Rihanna and Calvin would be proud, surely.
