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.

I would say that this is the new ‘normal’ and things will likely stay like this for some time.
Good news if so in that it isn’t getting any worse but bad news in that it isn’t getting any better.
With any luck, when we look back in 20 years we will see the last year or two as the low point.
Of course, this is just a guess.
Funny the pr spin from government and the business lobby over Xmas was shops had an increase in sales and footfall. Somebody is lying here or they can’t calculate the information properly hence explains how we got into this mess.
Online shopping is the reason
Doubt it, they’re up when you take out car sales. When did you last see someone getting a car in the post.
So the concept of getting a new car delivered is alien to you muppets I never mentioned post did I
Retailers and boom in the one sentence. I don’t think so.
Fairly obvious ! No one buying houses = no furniture sales ? Even changing the unlucky 13 to 131 can’t make up for general lack of money and unemployment ….etc
It would b interesting to see how these figures compaer with 07,08 ,09- allowing for inlaltion – and when calculating inflation one assumes food and energy are included .
have your say
