Children in Ireland’s rural Malin Head, County Donegal, have recorded a traditional Irish music rendition of the Star Wars film soundtrack to welcome the cast and crew of the blockbuster movie who are believed to have scouted to area ahead of possible shooting next month.
Uploaded to YouTube on Friday, April 15, the welcoming music video features local children on accordions, tin whistles and guitars – along side a Darth Vader figurine – welcoming the cast and crew to Malin Head, which is described as “Ireland’s best kept secret” in the video.
