X-Factor review
Gavin Joy - TY- Co Host
I had the most amazing experience at the annual St Michaels Xmas factor. This year was my first year being involved with the show and I cannot wait till next year already! I was presenting the acts onto the stage alongside Aaron and Niall. To prepare for the night I had some of my lines written out onto a flashcard. I was really nervous before going out but when I went on stage all the nerves went away. I loved seeing everyones excitement before and after they went on stage. I’m really grateful that I was able to take part and I'm really thankful to everyone who organised the event! I had the most amazing experience at the annual St Michaels Xmas factor.

Matthew Quilter - First Year- Participant
I was in one act and it was based on the Late Late Show. We practiced a good few times before the night of the X-factor where we brought in our props and outfits and did a full run through of our act on the stage. We had to know our lines off by heart. We knew it would look better on stage if we had prepared well! When it came to the night, we went back to the dressing room and we all changed into our outfits. I was playing Michael Flatley, so I had to make sure my costume fitted the persona. When we went up on stage it was very cool as the lights made everyone look either very clear or not visible at all. We performed very well and we ended up placing third overall which was very good and we were really proud of ourselves. I would definitely do it again because it’s great craic and it’s all just a bit of fun at the end of the day.

Adam Shanahan - First Year - Online Attendee
The school X factor was last Thursday. I wasn't there because I was in Germany, but I was sent videos and it looked very fun. I saw pictures of our class and videos of acts doing the Haka and the late late show. My mother sent me a link for the show and I got to watch it . I saw the act my class put on and it was very funny and I enjoyed it. Next year I will definitely be going to it inn person or participating in it myself . My class told me about it and said it was good and they did really well. We came 3rd overall which was very good for our first try. I already can't wait for next years show! I would advise anyone to go as the show really does have something for everyone.
