- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2012
- Tourism Ireland, together with the 100-member newchoir, Maureen's Reel Irish Dancers and the Celtic Dance Centre, surprised and delighted an unsuspecting public with a Glee-style performance of Irish favourites "Beautiful Day" by U2, "Brown-eyed Girl" by Van Morrison and "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto. The performance was coordinated by Tourism Ireland, Scott Pietrangelo, Maureen Mulvey O'Leary and filmed and edited by Casey and Kody McWilliams with additional camerawork by Nathan Legiehn and Brook McWilliams.
What is it about the Irish? Always first to put a smile on people’s faces and have a good time! 😄
That's just what we do thank you much love from Ireland 💚
Ok, I've been putting it off for quite sometime. As of today I have decided that I am going to come visit this summer, perhaps in May, and I look forward to jamming with folks there and hopefully meeting some distant relatives!
Superb, Happy St Patrick's Day

Awesome, it was very exciting. Our choir rocks!
I saw you Nancy.! This rocks. so cool. right on
Ok my mother and my aunt were in this. They don't like all these disrespectful comments. You can see me in the audience. Please don't hate
Fantastic work guys. I love this new approach you are taking in your campaigns, almost subliminal. Really promotes the country well.
Really fun. Huge congrats to Scott and the choir!
That was great!!
2:27...I used to sing this song to my daughter when she was little!!She's still my little 'Brown Eyed Girl'!!!This is just great!!
I'm old enough to remember the original when it was on the radio circa 1967 when I was in my mid-teens. I loved that song by Van Morrison.
So proud of everyone involved!!! What a fantastic time :)
@Jeffrey Remick: Flash mobs ARE organized events! Whatever convinced you that they weren't?!? Look at all of the best and most famous ones to date. They ALL involve PA systems, microphones (hidden or otherwise), multiple camera set-ups, you name it. Hell, even some of the worst ones involve pre-planning. That's how these things work. And this one's a real treat!
This video was featured on City TV's Breakfast Television this morning! Way to go everyone!!!
I loved it!!!!!!!!!!
Good stuff Scotty. Thanks for the link. Stay in the loop and keep the fingers busy. Aye Aye Aye !

Hey there newchoir - what a fantastic performance and arrangement! A great reason to be in Toronto, or go to Ireland.
Excellent Performance ^_^
Ohhh U2...I get that!! :-P!!
A W E S O M E love it!
If you liked the "performance", our next concert is on May 12, Ryerson Theatre in Toronto.
Having the mikes and speakers out is like announcing there's going to be a performance.
@ScottPietrangelo Shameless self-promotion. I love it!
Thank you! Faith and begorrah!
BRAVO BRAVO!!
brilliant
Awesome! Love the video! :D
That trip to Northern Ireland in the description....don't bother entering. Dublin's where you wanna be.
if everybody in d world was IRISH we would a very happy but drunk society. people lets get it all together the world needs the IRISH.
Again, not everyone over here is drunk on Guinness and having mashed potatoes.
Speakers visible to the public is not a flash mob. This is a performance.
Yes !!! Another problem , stupid people like you make the world worts
Ahora en Castellano . .Gente como tú que se fija en pequeñas cosas sois los que haceis que el mundo vaya peor . Seguro que eres Ingles u holandes .
Calla la boquita y disfrutra del expectaculo tontol nabo
We have St Patrick here in Kenya
I'm from Ireland and going in three days to limerick
Même le chien aime, c'est un signe !
@Soulrak87 Ehh. I'm in that square all the time and there's always some equipment around and puttering near the stage for festivals and whatever. Looked like a regular day in the square from the video.
aha, i was there ! you can see me ! :D
Call it what it is! A Performance! NOT A FLASH MOB!!!
Rue Stahl who cares it’s lovely
@ehddd1 newchoir is performing at Ryerson theatre on Saturday May 12th at 8pm!
Sounds awesome! Where can I see them live?
This year they do it, but freeze in typical Hogtown horrible weather.
Nunca he sabido por que, pero me escantan los Irlandeses
@canoecarrier You know it! :)
@ehddd1 Ryerson Theatre May 12. Tickets from Ticketscene
@Hannahdoobers Hello Hannah - if you press pause and let the video load you can watch it - our official video is high definition so it takes a wee minute to load - Enjoy

Céilí*

GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR MUY BUEN VIDEO SIGAN COMPARTIENDO CON TODO EL MUNDO SALUDOS CUIDENCEN BONITO AÑO NUEVO
@BloemLittle shes not that bad its just im just not keen on it :) it was a awesome video and yeah i bet it was great to see live :)
Surprise? I'm sure they tweaked it when half the square was cordoned off and electrical wiring and speakers per put out.
Wow, I never read the comments and don't get this comment. I was there, no gimmicks, just total fun.
Everyone was skipping work and boozing & smoking weed that day
They should have worn green & sang some traditional Irish melodies ! Great performance though :)
Funny enough, we wear normal people clothes too.
This was great but to be honest the one you did in Sydney last year was better.
When you have microphones and speakers out then it's not a flash mob. This is a performance not a flash mob.
Why didn't you get proper dancers who could actually dance? lol
Why the women of middle ages do not dance?
+Oskar Alpary Because you need the energy and stamina of an athlete my friend. Irish Dance is not easy, try it sometime.
This is not a flash mob. It's a performance....as on any stage.
Great work, but tune the guitar!!!
