🏑 Benalmádena Hockey Tour Reunion 💙💛
What a fantastic gathering of KH Hockey past pupils at the KHPPU Mix Room— from the original Benalmádena Tour team right through to recent leavers from 2023–2025!

🎶 Celebrating Our Talented Past Pupils! 💙💛

We’re so proud to share that Sonaírí have just released their beautiful new single “Mo Ghile Mear”, featuring past pupil David Corr (KH) alongside the fabulous soprano Amie Dyer. 🌟

This release is especially meaningful for David, who first performed “Mo Ghile Mear” as a past pupil during The King’s Hospital 250th Anniversary celebrations. To now record and release it with Sonaírí feels like coming full circle.
