The Kabin Crew getting ready for their Christmas special. RTÉ

Kabin Crew release follow-up to viral hit ‘The Spark’ ahead of Christmas Eve special on RTÉ

The new single ‘Christmas Cipher’ has been released ahead of the ‘Kabin Crew’s Christmas Special’.

THE KABIN CREW, who were behind the viral hit ‘The Spark’, have released a Christmas single ahead of their Christmas special on RTÉ.

The Spark was recorded by children from the Kabin Crew in Cork and the Lisdoonvarna Crew in Clare and has since garnered over two billion plays on social media and was even longlisted for a Grammy Award.

The Kabin Crew today released their new single ‘Christmas Cipher’ ahead of their RTÉ special, The Kabin Crew’s Christmas Special, which will air on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Cipher is available from today on all streaming platforms through the Kabin Crew’s record label Rubyworks.

Meanwhile, the Christmas special will give viewers a chance to get to know the members of the crew and see how the songs come together.

The Kabin Studio was established by GMCBeats in 2012 and runs workshops and camps in music production and recording in what it described as a “non-judgemental space” where young people can “free express” themselves through rap and other art forms.

The Christmas special will give viewers a look at these workshops, delve into the collaboration with the Lisdoonvarna Crew for The Spark, and debut brand new songs.

A spokesperson for RTÉ added that the Christmas special “will shine a light on Knocknaheeny on the Northside of Cork City, where the Kabin Studio is based, and the amazing people and their stories from the area”.

Kabin Crew’s Christmas Special will air on RTÉ One at 5.15pm and will be repeated on Christmas Day at 8am on RTÉ 2.

    A rigged voting system, people do not understand the process. This is how the crooks keep creeping back in.

    @Basildon Joe: you and your various other IDs use misinformation to deliver sow doubt about our democratic system. Harming one of the pillars of civic society is pretty traitorous IMO.

    @Name: Agreed. His manipulation of these comments sections (as Basildon Joe and Dave G Doe in this thread) is an affront to free speech, and the Journal ought to do something about it, but won’t.

    @John Reynolds: It’s the same reason corporations collect (buy up) brands.
    Proctor and Gamble own both Tide and Ariel.

    They aim to get your custom no matter what you buy.

    For the elucidation of Professors Gail McElroy and Michael Gallagher a candidate who eventually meets the quota still scapes through, no matter how valid their electon.

    These are clearly two different things.

    @ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: If there are 4 seats up for grabs in a constituency then why not the top 4 in the vote get elected. It would save so much time on 15th and 16th counts. The way it is now plays into the bigger parties hands. Why do we need to reach a quota? It’s not real democracy.

    If you get in on first or twentieth count, makes no difference. You in. That PR system. Better than first past the post single seat constituencies. Remember Thatcher got huge majority with 33% of the votes..
