Blinded girl features on CD

OMAGH bomb victim, Claire Gallagher has joined Phil Coulter for a special recording on the acclaimed composer's new Christmas album.
Tranquility Gold - The Very Best of Phil Coulter features a unique version of the classic Carrickfergus - the song both performed at this year's
St Patrick's Day reception in the White House.
Also featured on the celebrity double-CD set are Ballymena-born actor, Liam Neeson and flautist, James Galway.
This, the latest in a series of classic Coulter albums, was launched at a reception in Dublin's St Stephen's Green Club last Thursday. It is due in record shops within the next few days.
Claire - who lost her sight as a result of injuries received in the bombing - has maintained a close friendship with Phil Coulter and the pair have performed piano duets on a number of occasions throughout the past year.
She recently joined the Derry-born musician at a sell-out concert in the Great Northern Hotel in Bundoran.
And on Friday of next week, she hopes to team up with her mentor again on RTE's Late Late Show.
